Week 8 Theme: Perspective
For week 8 we were challenged to get out and take pictures with creative angles rather than straight on with your subject lined up in the middle of the shot. Our 3 tips were 1-Shoot from Above (works well for kids and pregnant people), 2- Shoot from ground level looking up (works well on babies or tall buildings), 3- Tilt the Camera (but dont go overboard).
 |
| I actually took this picture before I knew what the challenge was for the week but it was in the same download as my other photos and I liked how Alex is looking right at the camera. |
 |
| Same thing here this was in with my photos of our trip to Chicago but I liked the angle and the lighting. |
 |
| I shot this from the stairs as Rex ran out of his room to come see me. I made this my desktop background that little neck just makes me smile. |
 |
| this is my attempt to take a picture on an angle, hmmm maybe I should keep practicing. |
 |
| My attempt to take a pic of something everyday ordinary from below to make it look unique (Will's growing hat collection). |
 |
| This is my from behind rather than straight on angle. Rex loves to Read. |
 |
| This was just for fun I took a picture of the clothes I am starting to get washed and hung up for baby with one of the special effects modes on my camera |
Week 9 Theme: Finding the light
For week 9 we were challenged to take our pictures in manual mode and play with the shutter, apertuer, and ISO to manipulate the light in our photographs. I still dont feel very comfortable in manual mode so I didn't use it but i did find some time to take some pictures and I tried to work with the light. One thing I learned this week was the definition of Exposure: the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph. All of these photos were taken at my mom and dads house while we were visiting this weekend:
 |
| M&D have a very busy suet feeder outside of there windows, I spotted this bird and then Will correctly identified it. (yay college ornithology). We checked it in the bird book Mom has and it was indeed a Red Bellied Woodpecker. |
 |
| Just one of my Moms many beautiful African violets. (She is an African Violet whisperer!) |
 |
| I thought the morning sun coming in the window was cool so I tried to embrace the theme for the week and "find the light" |
 |
| Here are a couple of pictures of Rex also in the morning sunlight. |
 |
| He is showing me where the whistle is. (just one of his many new words) |
 |
| I think Rex ended up mooching half of Grandmas breakfast. Here he is getting a bite of Grapenuts. |
 |
| Just being silly in his high chair. |
Week 10: Choosing a Lens
Week 10 Theme: Shapes
In this weeks lesson we learned about all the many different kinds of lenses and some important things to remember when thinking about purchasing a new one. Someday I do think it might be fun to have one for shooting up close and also a zoom lens but since I am still learning so much about my camera im not really in a hurry to complicate things with more lens. While this is the current weeks challenge im going to go ahead an blog about this weeks theme and challenge because I dont think I will be buying any new lenses and I also dont think I feel like going around and taking pictures of shapes. Maybe sometimes I would find this a fun challenge but this week I would rather do something baby related. If I do end up taking any creative shape photos I will post them other wise I will just wait till next week and see what that challenge is.
