Sunday's Assignment

Sunday's assignment is to make a photo that involves or creates happiness to the viewer.
Make em feel it, not just see it!.

What a perfect subject- raincoat, rain umbrella and rain "hello kitty" boots.  I used the portrait selector on the dial as I figured I was way out of my league in this one. I am still having difficulty getting the right lighting and color.  And it's extremely difficult trying to take a photo of one who prefers not be be photogeneic.  But I was lucky to get this photo and of course, she makes me smile every time I see her.

Friday's Assignment

Novelty can help goose creativity.  Go somewhere today you've never been, even just a different street and make a photo.

Can you tell what this is?  It's the inside of my piano- not any place I've been before and if you look very closely you'll probably see 15 years of dust.  Kept taking picture after picture and none were too clear.  I don't know if I was shaking too much or I needed a "macro" lens.

I really wanted to take a picture of the students' bathroom at school as that is another place I've never been but figured that would be too weird.

Thursday's Assignment

Negative space can be just as important to a composition as your primary subject.  Explore negative space in a photograph.

And......what does that mean?  I'm at a loss for this assignment.   Guess I need to spend a little more time reading up on camera techniques.

Wednesday's Assignment

There is often a conflict between traditional and contemporary.  Make a photo that shows this tension.

Not a difficult choice today as there are several things in the house that I could have used.  But I actually shot this picture without a flash.  Wanted less shine on the cordless drill so opted to change the ISO to a higher number.  Don't I sound like I know what I'm doing now???
