One Thing Project

For this project we had to choose one thing and find as many different angles as we could. I figured that I bigger object would be better, so I chose my bike. I got a lot of really good shots, but one of my favorites is the one pictured below. I thought it had really good depth and gave an interesting perspective.

Portrait Project

For the portrait project I decided to broaden the subject to include many people rather than just one or two. I went and photographed quite a few strangers (none pictured below), I did a fall-themed "photoshoot" with a friend and ended up taking a couple last-minute pictures of one of my other friends, which turned out just as well as the more planned pictures did!

This was one of the last minute pictures


These two were from the fall-themed "photo shoot"
I was able to climb up pretty high in a tree to get this angle, which I liked a lot.

Photgram Project

Finding different objects that let through different amounts of light for our photograms was fun, for the first one I tried using scattered paperclips, but they were too thin and did not come out right.
So, instead I used a small level, which had the little bubble thing in the middle and allowed for some various amounts of light (or lack of) to get through. 

For the second one, I tried to find some transparent objects to place on the paper. I used a fishing fly, which had a little feather on the end, and 2 guitar picks, which weren't as transparent as I thought.

Pinhole Camera Project

The first picture we did, using our pinhole camera. Which was a paint can, with a lid, a piece of photo paper inside and a small hole in the front. 
Pretty good for a can and piece of paper.



Here are the next two pictures using the pinhole camera. 
I took two to try for a different angle.




These are the positives of the last two pictures.
