So tonight was my week seven of photography class with Mark Wallace. I have one more week to go then were done.. Our assignment due tonight was pattern photography. So in ended up using one of the paintball pictures from two days ago, and the blue and brown rose textured pattern that I posted today. I really wanted to use the colored push pins but I could not get a shot that didn't cast a shadow. I had to shoot these with my lens extensions, incorporating my umbrella lights and flash. When shooting in macro, you have to be on top of your object, and by on top of I mean those pins were shot at a focal length of 55mm.. with that said the lens continued to cast shadows on the object not allowing me to get a clear shot without shadowing.. The yellow beaded shot is just a cropped version of my pollen from yesterdays shot, I almost presented that one tonight, and the red shot is a cropped zoomed in shot of the bougainvillea from yesterday as well. Next week, the last weeks assignment I am to take an photograph of anything I have learned over the past 8 weeks and blow it up to an 8x12, not an 8x1o but 8x12 and present it to the class.. Good thing were going sailing this weekend, at Tempe town lake.... I am hoping it will present mucho photo opportunities. Happy shooting!!
You certainly have the artists' eye! The angles and things you think to take a picture of, that everyone else passes up-these are beautiful. From my personal preference, I like shots that are caught 'in the moment.' You know, like those one's of Bo at work, or with Hannah looking away on the bench-are so COOL. Take more of those! They capture memories best :)
