100 Creative ways..



100 creative ways... Great assignment. I chose to use cutlery, my goldfish as well as my dogs heart shaped urn. I think I was more challenged to get the best shots with my fish being in the picture. Fish do NOT stop moving lol. When I wanted my fish in the picture he would be on the other side of the bowl and when I didn't want him in the picture he was also there.
This assignment definitely challenge my creative side. I found I did get a little frustrated when I hit 50 photos and realized I needed 50 more. I took a break for lunch and went back to work and got some good shots.
Hope you guys enjoy my slideshow. Some are my favs some just didn't work out. But enjoy anyway.

Lines, Lines I love lines!!!



My adventure's of shooting LINES began at my house. I took the first couple in the kitchen as well as, the washroom of my house. It amazed me how many lines were just in my house and I had never noticed. I then went to my boyfriends part of town and spent the afternoon in a park near his place. The only challenge I had there was making sure a train didn't come while I was on the track :D
I ended the photoshoot at my house again but outside. I took them today Sept 21st and froze my butt. I found this assignment fun because it made you look outside of our little world and see that there is more to the eye then just grass, sky and dirt that we live amougnst many, many lines hehe.

If I had to choose one type of genre of photography that I enjoy shooting the most it would be People Portraits. I had worked with people for 4 years and enjoyed seeing different personalities in people. Babies were all different. One day you get a crying baby the next day or the same day you get a smiley baby. Two year olds have been an all time favourite because they always gave a challenge to see if you could get any smiles and not a blurred out image of them running out of the pictures.
I am hoping to learn all the techniques possible. I was only shown how to shoot people portraits, and the cameras were all preset to the studios liking and locked them so we could not change anything. I am hoping that I will learn how to use different programs and learn how to edit my portraits properly. I would also like to learn how to run my own business so those techniques would come in handy.
I would say my favourite photography-related memory would be the last couple days at school. The things we have learnt within the last week and a half has been amazing especially yesterday :D I also would say working at Sears was great because I got to meet new people and to hear that you have built memories of someone's child just melts my heart.

I believe that is all!
Talk to you soon
