Final Project Idea

For my final project i think im going to take pictures of candles. This would be an intersting projects because there are tons of things i can do with candles. I can take pictures of them lit, or unlit. Plus, you see candles a lot during Christmas so this can be a sort of Christmas thing. I can play with light a lot with candles too. So im excited.

CLICHE PHOTOS

kitten looking at camera

footprints in sand+ripples in sand

baby bunnies

sunlight through fingers

black and white, with a little color in it

sunset + boyfriend with guitar

graveyard with fog

sunset and fence

fall leaves

dear in meadow- you cant see it very well because it is cut off, but oh well

sunset +ocean+horizon

baby. There are tons of pictures of babies. They are cute, but overly used

A lot of the time, cliches do look cool or interesting, the problem is that the are used too often. Sunsets are a good example of a very cliche photo because you see pictures of them EVERYWHERE although they do look very intersting. Another example are pictures of sea gulls on a post although i dont have any on here.

For this assignment we had to re-do an assignment. I chose my assignment #3 which was my bracketing assignment because i felt like this wasnt a very good assignment for me. I really like the one with the sign that said do not enter because it is very interesting and i just like it. My one with the tree shadows is really cool because it has good leading lines, its in focus, it has good contrast, and its really of nothing, like we were talking about in our critique today.

assignment #6 portraits

My face is shadowed in this picture and the focus is a little bad. It also looks like my neck isnt connected to anything and the light isnt very good. but i sorta like it

this looks too dark but i like it. The focus also isnt very good, but it looks cool.

THis is me. I like it because i like the light and the shadow and it is very in focus and my expression looks kinda weird.

This one looks too dark but i will fix it

I like this one becasue the contrast looks cool. Plus, it shows that she is kind of an adventurous person

This is my brother. He is a techno-wix. he likes building and tinkering with stuff. One time he even built his own electric drill. i like this because it shows him and what he likes to do. It shows him working and some of his tools and little projects. It is also in focus and the light is good :)

I do not like this one very much. Its too dark and too busy. but the focus is good and i like their expressions kind of. They are watching tv and its what they like to do.

This is one of my friends. I like this one because the contrast is good and i like her expression. It looks a little dark on my blog, but the print looks better

This one also seems too dark, but the print looks better. I like the expressions and the contrast

I love this one. I like the background and how shes looking away and her expression. The contrast is very good and there was very good light :)

Her clothes look too dark here but the print looks better. It shows that she is either a dancer or a cheerleader and she is a cheerleader. it shows what she likes to do and i like it. it is a little gray though

This one looks a little gray but i like the focus and the expresion on her face.


For this assignment we had to take portraits of people. I liked this assignment a lot because it was fun to get to know the people i was taking a picture of and i really like the focus and contrast in most of these. I didnt like to take the pictures of myself though, because it was harder to control what is going on and i just dont like to get my picture taken. My pictures were also a little too busy sometimes (the backgrounds had too much stuff in it. but all in all i really liked it.
