Still Life

In thinking about the still life project I have when I get back to school after break, I decided to figure out some stuff about making a still life. This website gives you four basic things to keep in mind when photographing a still life; I thought they were pretty useful hints!

The Many Faces Of Christmas

Oh yes, today is Christmas!

Wow, is that for me?

Yaaay, just what I wanted!

There's more, right?

Noooooo, is it really over!?

On Friday Project

Since it's Friday, I was working on my book project today. It's about paths and trails and how they can be compared to the journey that we take in life. It's kind of like Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. In these photos I used complementary colors, red and green. I also focused on the theme, not looking back once you've made a decision or chosen a path. I used a slow shutter speed and a flash to distort my body.

Christmas Tree

I love decorating the Christmas tree. I love the fact that I can make the lights look cool just by using a slow shutter speed!

Quote

I like this quote, because for me one of the best parts of photography is being able to share your work with others. Letting people see your opinion and letting those ignorant in on what's happening in the world is very important. What's the point of photographing if no one will ever see them or hear what you have to say?

"There are many reasons for shooting pictures, not least the adrenaline pumping moment of knowing you've caught a marvelous instant, but it's all a little empty if all the results end up in a little yellow box in a cupboard." ~Patrick Ward
