More Still Lifes

These setups were supposed to contain a metallic object.
Flute and music

Soccer medals and trophy

 












Unfortunately, on the screen of a computer, you can't really see the dark blue background...but it's there!

Matte cutting will be the death of me...just saying:(

First Day in the Studios

It was my first time working in the studios today. I was working on a still life project. It was a bit intimidating at first, but then I started to feel more comfortable. The effect that I worked on showing today is the black line around the objects I was photographing.
Colorful Cups

Blue!

Thursday 8AM Photo Arts Class

Today was the first time I have ever been in a legit photography studio, other than when I came for an open house. They are sort of intimidating and there's so much stuff you have to think about, write down, bring, and buy just for one photo-shoot. AAAAAAAAAAH! Next week we do still lifes, so I'm going to make a trip to Walmart, Barnes & Noble, etc. this weekend to scrounge up some last minute things I learned today that I really need for the studios. One plus though, I did learn A LOT today in class!

Progress On Friday

I'm still working in my On Friday project. These are just a few photos I took last Friday when on break:
Some trails are clearly marked

Some don't look like paths at all

They lead you to who knows where

Sometimes the travels are steep and difficult

Last Friday In Victor Before Back To RIT














I took a walk on Friday because it was like 50-55 degrees (very strange for western NY in December) and I was working on my On Friday project, when I noticed how beautiful the sky looked.
