Week 20: Guess What?

So I was a bit of a slacker and only took pictures one day this week.  (So much for my goal of a picture a day.)  I had good intentions, but somehow the week went really fast and there was a lot going on. . . 

But guess what?

I just submitted my first photo project for my photography class!  It has only taken me . . .*cough* one and a half years to get around to it.  But hey, better late than never right?  And I have until September to go through 8 more lessons and do one more project. . .plenty of time for a procrastinator like me!  I figured for this week I would share with you my project. . .not that any of you really care, but hey, I finally submitted it.  I would love to hear your comments on the pictures.  There are things about all of them that I don't like, or I wish I would have done differently, but I'm finding I feel that way about all of my pictures.  I'm always looking for ways to improve, and would appreciate any input. :)


Photo #1: Emphasize the Subject

Photo #2: Slow Shutter Speed

Photo #3: Fast Shutter Speed

(This is an older picture, and I hate the shadows caused by the flash, but I love the splash of the water and his facial expression.  I tried to move to minimize the shadows, but by then Alex decided he'd had enough.)

Photo #4: Make a photograph in a tricky lighting situation

Photo #5: Students Choice

(Normally fish are rather boring, but there is a part of me that is fascinated by Lion Fish)

In other news I finished Alex's blackout curtains (perhaps I'll post pictures later) and we had our first inspection today on our basement remodel that went fairly well.  Yay!

Happy photographing!
