Dinner

Week 3

Dinner

This topic was pretty boring to me. 

Hense why I am a week late.   Whoops!

Not only was I not intrigued by the subject, I also didn't have very many tasty things for dinner. 

They weren't pretty and I mostly ate out.

Lots of pizza this last week for some reason....

It surprised me that I thought it was boring because I normally really like detailed photographs. 

Where you get right up in its grill and *click*!

Love it.  

I blame it on my lack of good dinner planning. 

Whilst going about this assignment, I realized something:

I am going to invest in a wooden cutting board.

much more photogenic than my plastic blue, purple, and yellow ones.

From a high angle

is coming soon!

Bold Colors

Week 3

Bold Colors

I had a few ideas for this one.  

The lighting in my home pretty much made the decision for me and I 

had to lessen my options. 

What's wrong with the lighting in my house..?

Oh, you know....we live in a basement apartment. 

Our only windows face north and south.

It is just way too dark in here, so unless I choose to use my flash every 

time, I gotta find somewhere else. 

Let me start with,  I love silhouette photos. 

I have a thing for them, especially if trees are the subject. 

I really wanted to spend more time taking these. 

More nights, and different locations. 

But...ya know...life.

I'll be sure to do that next time.  We already found a cool place to do it for the future!

I chose two again.  

cliché jump photo always necessary. 

I hope those of you reading are enjoying checking these out. 

I'm having fun experimenting and growing!

Next week?

Dinner

the most overdone photograph of all time, right there above the jumping one. 

Hopefully I can make it look as un-like an iPhone snapshot as possible. 

What Makes Me Smile

Week Two

What Makes Me Smile

This specific one was also tough.  Not in regards to the photo taking process, but I couldn't decide what I wanted my subject to be. 

Quite a few things make me smile!

The other day I was home alone talking to Lily (which is totally normal in this house), and she looked up at me with her ears all skiwampus.

She jumps around and they get all bent, folded, and sometimes they even stick straight out like wings when she is impatient for a treat. 

I smiled at Lil's ears(of all things), in all of their floppy glory.  

Even though I am supposed to choose one, I chose two.

These aren't super artistic or photoshopped in any way, but they got me taking photos and practicing with exposure and taming my subject.

And this is what the challenges are about right?

Though this one is underexposed and I am not a fan of the background, her expression and double folded ears made me throw it in for good measure. 

Do you think you've seen enough photos of my dog yet?

Didn't think so. 

Bold Colors are on their way for Week 3!
