Monochrome

This assignment was pretty good. I would've done much better if I had more time. Not Slade's fault, I'm not asking for another week or two, I just need more time devoted to photo that I simply don't have fall term. It's a shame, but photo isn't a priority for me right now. I didn't have a lot of options here. I didn't have many images to choose from so taking that into consideration, I think I did alright! I fulfilled the assignment, which was my goal. I loved a couple of these shots which is a bonus, ones that I'd be proud to show off. But I liked my classmates' work a LOT better. I think when I'm old and my passion for photography still lives, I'll give myself assignments. And I'll try this again. Maybe in the summer. Same with numbers. But for now, I can't be outstanding. So this is what we got.


I LOVE AUTUMN. This tree is beautiful. Goodbye chlorophyll.



Shoes. This is my favorite shot. I wear these shoes all the time. They're not the cutest but they're comfy, old fashioned, me. :) I love this shot cause somehow it reminds me of myself. I actually shot this originally this summer, then reshot it for this assignment. I love it. This is my favorite.


Blurry = flaw. I like the rest tho. This is busy, but clearly monochrome since each utensil is of metallic essence. I'll reshoot it.



Wheat. I like wheat. I want to be a farmer so I can harvest my own wheat. I think it's pretty.



This is a bench. I love the focus. Love the shadows. This is strong.



I tried so hard to make this work. I put my high heels my beautiful new grand piano, with a little black flower. It looked great, but my camera was being defiant. It wouldn't focus close enough to get the green wall out of there. The light wasn't great enough and my camera wouldn't adjust. I couldn't fit the tripod where needed so everything is either blurry, or focused on something I didn't want it focused on. Like the flower. I wanted the heels and flower to be the same, but you can't even see high heels in this shot. Oh well. It's still monochromatic.


Don't love. Don't hate. It's definitely monochrome, so there you go. The focus is sweet. The contrast alright. The angle individual. So I'll take it.




Playground. Reminds me of chocolate cookie crackers. Shrug-- it's alright.



Also at a playground. I love these. Looker throughers. They're great for spying. I like this color. It's in the running for my wedding color. This shot was in the running for my favorite image, but then I got better.



Here is a playground climb thinger and the sky. I was laying on the ground. That shows I'm legit. I still have woodchips in my shirt. Ouch. I don't love this.



Different Playground. Lovely sunlight. Wood, wood and wood. I love the shadows.



Here is an apple on a placemat. The lighting isn't that great, and that's why the bite in the apple is so yellow. Also, that's the color of the inside of apples. I love the bite.. but I don't even really like this. Everyone else just loves it. Maybe my taste is off because I don't love this. I like it a little better since I muted the green a little, so if the light was better I'd prolly like it much better.
