Blurred Motion: Light Painting

 

I really love light painting and all of the creative and inventive things you can do with it. I've always wanted to make something really cool with this technique, however I found it harder than I thought it would be. That frustrated me a bit, so I didn't spend enough time on it.

 

Next time I attempt light painting, I will need to do some more reasearch and preparation before. I do hope to try again, though.

refraction through a wine glass

 

 

I am quite proud of this refraction project. When it was assigned I was afraid that my pictures would not stick out and look like just more cliche pictures of a wine glass. While a glass is not the most original picutre subject for refraction, I thought these came out very nice and were not cliche at all. I am happy with the composition and how well the elements of refraction came out.

Reflection

Not my finest hour..... iPhone's are definitely not my camera of choice...

These photos are probably some of the worst I've taken. I find the quality bad and the choice of subject pretty bland.

Lines of life

 

For this line project I used a cobination of photos I took in NYC this past August and ones I had taken specifically for this project. I am not particularly proud of the photos of the snow covered lake, with time running short I decided to use the NYC pictures. I was surprised browsing through the pictures, months after taking them, at all the examples of line I found.

 

I much perfer the pictures from New York City, my favorite being the Brooklyn Bridge shot. These pictures are much more entriguing with the sharp and vivid colors, also I find the subjects alone much more interesting than the snow covered lake.
