100 shots !?

i found the 100 shots to be hard but fun at the same time!

i picked a spot that i had seen while going to the uofm last year where there were a bunch of old signs and just random stuff everywhere.. i placed my items in this mess and took different angles of it.

it was cool to think up the different angles and lighting situations to put the items in throughout the chaos but after 50 it gets harder to be creative.. reallly good assignment to push yourself to think under pressure! but i can think of so many ways to do it over again with different objects and to make it 100 times better!

liness .. here there and everywhurrr!

LINES ARE EVERYWHERE!

this assignment wasn't hard to find the lines, but to find something different and original was a bit of a struggle.

playing with shadows and the lighting from the sun on different objects was a lot of fun!

especially when the light was hitting it just right

theres the typical traintracks shot but i tried to play with the lighting from the sun to give it a different effect

found a couple wicked cars with cool stripes.. stood out like crazy on the parking lot

a couple of my favorite shots were of my friends .. not suprised!?

i know..

but the first one was with these WICKED..WICKEdd vines that i saw on the side of this building.

we were jus driving and i was like "omg were stopping RIGHT now!"

i told her to stand between the vines and the pics turned out soo good.

the lines were too cool and it framed her body SO welll.

then my second pic is of my other homie!

we were down osborne and there some crazy lines on the side of the building

so i told her to stand beside them, got a funky angle on her and the lines and took the shot

turned out super good.

think the challenge of lines is to get a different angle on them then what you would typically see..

ESPECIALLY using the light!

till next time..

PEACE

i love people.

i love to photograph the expressions of someones face since it tells so much about them.

i love to show the different styles and colours people think they can pull off.. and know they look good no matter what.

i love to shoot people in different places .. on the beach, at the forks, in different churches, in my basement or driving in the car with the windows down..

photography is someone telling a story with pictures

how cool would it be if someone took there camera with them all day, everyday and took pictures of everything they did from the morning till night! you would see so much of there lives including the people they see, life at work, the struggles and good times throughout the day..

Even tho shooting people is the biggest passion of mine, ive also enjoyed doing alot of closeup stuff.. flowers, my dogs, sunsets, random things placed on the ground or in a tree that can only be explained through a picture. 'love to get down n dirty' to show the detail and expression in different subjects and get different effects with the shadows, lighting and colours around me. I want to be exposed to all the styles of photography and have that as an advantage when becoming a photographer.

In coming here to prairieview i plan to soak everything in! i want to learn all i can and gain so much experience and contact with everyone here. After this week ive learned so much about shooting and timing for pictures and having deadlines and the stress of mixing school with work but its allowed me to grow and i can only imagaine what it will be like at the end of this year!

HMMmm my best photography memory would maybe beeeee ... its corny, but when i won the photography award at convication. i didnt have any expectation that i would win it even though a few of my friends kept bugging me about it. so the day of convication i looked at the list of names and my name was on it for digital work and another thing that i dont remember.. but i definitely didnt think it was for the full award. when my name was called i was in so much shockk.. was shaking forsure and had to look out on more then a thousand people while i said thank you and got my picture taken. :| but it was the best feeling everrrrr.. made my year of hard work soo worth it and its inspired me to persue my love of photography
