Saturday's Assignment


Go for an unusual point of view and make a photograph that can only be made from that viewpoint.

Laid on the floor for awhile shooting a variety of shots.  Used the program mode but couldn't get everything in focus.  The viewfinder showed L so kept trying to lighten it but as you can see the picture is pretty dark.  For the most part the room I was in was dark and the only light came from the door of the house.  There is a small amount of light in the livingroom but not exactly what I was looking for.  You don't get the idea that there is a shingled roofline and extended porch.  I kept moving back but then the girl was less in focus.  Tried using my dad's old lens but no luck with macro- not even sure if that works on the lens as it's so old.  Then I tried the short lens and eventually my 18-55mm- even tried using the flash but then the entire house was lit up.  I really only wanted to front door and living room to be the focus of the picture but I would have liked a little more definition for the porch and roof.

Shot using P- +2 exposure and dot matrix.  Iso 1600.  White balance auto.
