three sixty five. week two.
Another week of project 365. I have to say, I thought it was a pretty good week again.
day eight – orange you glad to see me? I didn’t know what to take a picture of so I was looking around the house and thought about photographing an orange. When I caught sight of the reflection, I moved it against the white wall (which I had extend to the left since it’s short). I’m not fond of how I processed it, it’s a bit too dark for my taste, but it goes with the granite, I guess.
day nine – whatcha lookin’ at? This squirrel jumped into the backyard, catching the eye of both my cat and myself. My dad encouraged me to get my camera (which was upstairs) but I was sure that by the time I got back, it would be gone. As it turns out, the squirrel sat nicely and allowed me to take a few photographs of him before he wandered off. I’m *really* proud of how much detail I managed to capture in this shot (in the fence, in his tail) and the bokeh dots in the background were a wonderful surprise when I look at the camera after he’d gone.
Day ten is a self-portrait of me, so you’ll have to go check that one out on flickr if you’re curious. Sorry! It’s a fun shot too, I played with sparkles in photoshop, although I’m not 100% sure how I feel about the end result.
day eleven – you asked for it. Okay this is pretty funny. All weekend long the temperature had been hovering at freezing, and I was hoping for some ice to take pictures of. I kept going into the garden and spraying the flowers, trying to make my own ice. Nothing. Then Monday morning I walked out to my car and it was COVERED in ice. Well, I did ask for ice! Had to take some pics before scraping it off. I really was quite happy with how much detail I captured, although I still wish I had a macro lens, as that would’ve been better. But if you check out last year’s pic of ice, you can see how much I’ve improved since last year.
day twelve – look who came to class today! When I was hunting for props for my project, Wall-E came to mind. I absolutely adore him. At first I was just going to take a pic of him against a wall, and then my photography brain snapped on and I thought it’d look cuter if it looked like he was coming into the classroom.
day thirteen – Wall-E worried he needed glasses… everything was a blur! I got my new 50mm f/1.8 lens and HAD to take a picture with it, showing off my new mad bokeh-capturing abilities. And Wall-E wanted to make another appearance.. he’ll be popping up in my project from time to time. I actually think this shot could have been better but I took over 100 shots and this was one of the better ones.
day fourteen – hide me. This is a picture of a hand fan I bought recently, to use in my project. I have to admit, all my other pictures this week were popular… except for this one. And I love this one. I played with the dof using the 50mm lens again, and then I tweaked some things in photoshop to give it a light, delicate feel. I think it came out well. Too bad no one else thought so!
So that’s it.. two weeks down. Only fifty more to go. Piece of cake… ha ha!
