This week we were challenged to take a photo inspired by film Noir. Although it turned into more of a horror/creepy photo (especially once it was black and white), I am happy with how this picture turned out!
POV: Point of View
This week we were challenged to take a photo from an untraditional point of view. I decided to take this from the perspective of a squirrel in a tree.
Work.
This week we were encouraged to take a picture inspired by “work.” I work at Carl’s Jr, where there are many bright and beautiful colors. Since I work the morning shift (you can tell it’s still dark outside), it’s not very busy, so I had plenty of time to take a ton of experimental photos …
Film Still Shot
This week we were challenged to take a photo that looks like a film still-shot. I read this article about how one of the main aspects of film is color. I decided to try and use parchment paper and take a picture through it to give it a golden glow and a film-y look. Once …
(Snow) Storms
This week we were challenged to capture a storm. I was in Utah for New Years, and me and my cousin were trying to make a snow storm for my little cousin. We did this by shaking the tree branch above him. It’s funny to see the same pictures from two completely different angles.
The Elements
This week we were challenged to take a photo inspired by the elements. The day I was brainstorming, it rain, which was perfect! I love the look of rain on flat surfaces, and so I began to play around with different pictures on different surfaces. This one ended up being my favorite. I love how …
Rules of Odds
The rule of odds. Our eyes and minds are drawn to things that aren’t perfectly even. That are perfectly imperfectly even. Even though we like symmetry, things also look better in odds. This week we were challenged to take a photo that encompassed this idea in architecture. Even though this isn’t a building, I felt …
Seasons
This week we were challenged to take a photo that showed the changing of the seasons. Although this one is a little ominous, I felt like it captured the transition from fall to winter quite well.
What I’m Thankful For
As part of our rental contract, a gardener comes once a week to mow the lawn and make sure everything’s being nicely taken care of. He recently had to have knee surgery, and is no longer able to come for the time being. Even though it is important to remember to be grateful at all …
Emotion (Told through the rule of thirds)
This week we were challenged to take a photo with the rule of thirds that conveyed emotion. I loved this lemon tree, and found a lemon that looked perfect, especially compared to all the green lemons around it. I love the pop of color the yellow gives the image and I had fun experimenting with …
