BLOGGER TEMPLATES - TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

Landscape pictures are not my favorite thing to shoot, but I thought that some of the hiking pics turned out really well. I thought they had a bit of a "Lord of the Rings"-ish feel. Maybe a bit dark, but I can always try to play with that on photoshop.

Flash Project



This project was quite fun, I rounded up my models, and we went out on the town. I thought the best place to catch some great movement would be down in the Central West End. I really liked the results I got when I used the night portrait function on my camera. I thought the movement was really interesting, although it was a bit hard to control my subjects. I found that in order to get the best and sharpest photo you had to make your subject stand in their position for at least 10 seconds.

As there was no assignment this week I just shot some stuff around my boyfriends house on the river bluffs. I had harvested some greenish tomatos a few days earlier and left them on the railing to get some color. I thought they made for some interesting photographs. I did arrange them according to color gradiation.

This project was really fun to do, it made me realize that you can document just about anything and have fun doing it. For me this assignment was just like my regular Saturday night.

Well, another assignment has come and gone. I found that all my messing around with these "new" functions, has me more confused than ever. I tried to use the White Balance(WB) function while I was inside, and instead of helping me it seemed to hinder. Every single picture I took was either way too cool or way too warm, making my model look like an orange person or a corpse I removed from the morgue, and posed on my couch. I believe with the help of CS4 I could correct the color balance, but I would like to learn more new techniques on inside shooting. While the assignment was not only to use the WB function but theISO as well, it is important to incorporate these two things to work together. Guess I still have much to learn.

Any Thoughts?
