This week for my photo shoot I decided to go down to the river again. My last shoot there worked out really well so I thought I could try it again. I climbed under the railroad bridge and took pictures of the underside, perfectly fitting my theme of "different perspectives." I used an "aperture priority setting" so that I had the chance of getting good lighting. I usually have trouble with lighting, especially outside, but I think it worked well this time. I don't know how I want to prepare these photos but I definitely want to use the images of the bridge. Maybe I will cute the image an dmatt it at different elevations like my sailboat experiment. I used to think that taking photos outside was difficult but this shoot was very fun and productive, and I got some new subject material to work with.

This week while taking photos I tried to depict some series of objects that show change. The pile of rocks show three different formations of stacked rocks as if pictures were taken while it was falling apart. I got this idea from time-lapse photography and some still lifes I had seen. I like the idea of minimalism paired with the ides of time, and I think I will be able to work with what I have. I hope to edit the photos then matt them side by side to show the progression of ideas, but some of the images are nice by themselves.
For this photo shoot I tried to take pictures of common household objects or settings in a different perspective from normal. I was inspired to do this when I was looking through a photo gallery and found an image of a typical 80's household with someone sitting on a couch crossing their feet. What was unique about the image was that it was taken from underneath the couch up towards the feet. My main focus was around focusing the camera properly and taking the photo from the right vantage point to create a well-organized composition. I really enjoyed taking these photos and I think there are some good ones to work with, however, I might take more pictures in the same way now that I understand how everything turned out.
This week's photoshoot I tired to take pictures of situations that give the strong impression of somebody having recently left their mark. I think these types of situations are really eerie but can also be funny. People don't often consider what happens when they're gone, so this idea focuses on the opposite of action shots. The lighting was still kind of off and it made the photos grainy and out of focus. My goal for future photo shoots will include helpful lighting.
