Derivative

The purpose of this assignment was to find a professionally Photoshopped picture and imitate it as closely as possible. I chose one of Kevin Irby's pictures to try to imitate. Mine is the first picture. I had a little difficulty with the letters since I couldn't find a chalk board to use. I just used a font from Photoshop and added it as a layer over the top. It didn't work out as well as I hoped.

Patterns

This is a wasp nest my little brother found last fall. There are definitely patterns in the veins of the leaf and the swirl of the nest itself.

Typical Day

Arboretum

We took a field trip to the Arboretum last friday for an hour. It was in the morning, so the lighting was great. I think I got a couple good shots.

I was trying to take this shot right next to the river. There was a squirrel in a tree next to me that was not happy about me being there. It kept throwing stuff at me and in the river next to me.

Shadows and Light

This weeks shooting assignment was shadows and light. I like to do all of my shooting assignments outside if possible, so this was a hard assignment. I think the sun was out for a grand total of 20 minutes over the three days I had to take the pictures. Between the rain, snow, and dreary weather, I'm glad I got any photos at all.

This is a grapevine growing up the side of our shed. Even though I turned this photo black and white, it looks more antique colored to me.

I like the details of the hay and the neat shadows the blades cast on each other.
