Final Project Proposal: Night

For my final project, I think I am going to do night shots. I like how different they are from photos taken in the day. People don't see the world at night nearly as much as they see the world during the day, so the pictures are more interesting. They look much more creepy and mysterious than anything in the day. I'm going to try not to take too many stupid moon pictures, but I'll probably get a few.

Cliche photos

Cow skull in desert... again.


Wow. Just wow. dont even know where to start with this one.

Myspace picture. thousands of pics came up on google exactly like this one

Footprints in sand, can sometimes be cool.

Cute baby in tub. BORING

Cool, but just way overdone. too many seagull on post pictures.

way cliche. Tells no story exept for he is enough of a loser to waste the time and energy doing this.

fusion of 2 cliches: guy with guitar + beach sunset. Kind of cool though

Karate kid pose=cliche. I wouldnt do this because it is boring.

These photos are all super cliche. Some of them were cool to start with, but now theres just so many of them they are boring and stupid. These are easy pictures to find, compose, and make them look okay, so lots of people end up taking them. You can see them all over the place, no matter where you look they are everywhere. These pictures are the cliche-est of the cliches, and they are boring because of that.

Assignment #7: redo

Metal pot handle. Love that I can focus that close.

Giant black face-cloud. The after does look quite a bit different than the before, but its also much more like how it looked in real life.

Cool candle.


For this assignment, I redid Assignment #3, Bracketing. Bracketing is my favorite thing to do, and I've done it a bit on every assignment since #3 when we learned how. I also like how I can shoot whatever I want as long as I bracket, so I'm free to do what I want in that sense. I mostly shot landscape, with the sun and clouds, and was surprised with how much I liked it. If I could redo this redo, I would spend more time outside early in the morning to get the cool light and shadows on the mountains. I especially like my shot of the flame, and the one with the gigantic dark cloud on the left of the frame. The cloud almost looks like a face...

Assignment #6: portraiture

Me getting frustrated with self timer, real expression, I didn't know it clicked.


Old man.

scary guy with tatoos

Red Ranger

Puffy eye man.

Weird.

For this assignment, I tried to portray people as I see them, and how they actually are, with real expressions, not posed fake smiles. I met a guy on thanksgiving with some bruised puffy eye, so I took a picture of him without his sun glasses on to show what was different about him. I also met a kid who likes power rangers, so I asked him to stand like a power ranger and it got him exited and you can see that in the frame. One of the things I did was to say OK, done, then wait a second, then take my picure, so I could get people how they really are, not how they want to be seen. I also took a bunch of shots of my friend shooting his film assignment(night sky) and got some interesting blurred shots. Most of my shots were taken on Thanksgiving day. I had fun shooting this assignment and I'm very happy with some of my shots.
