Project 4: Pictures

This project took me a little longer to complete I'm afraid. Photography isn't really my thing, but I still had fun with it! I used a little bit of composition in most of my photos to give them a different look or make part of them stand out on their own.

My "other" was Chip Kelly - head coach of the now #1 ranked (woo!) Oregon Ducks football team. My family are season ticket holders and we attend every home game. We also have season passes to the Pittman Room, which is a sort of after party where people can sit down, listen to the coach speak about the game, and answer a few questions. I didn't ask permission to take the picture of him. But since it was similar to a press conference, obviously every other person had their camera out. This is the only picture that I didn't manipulate in any way.

I feel that I learned the most from the "Alphabet Soup" part of the assignment for two reasons: For one, the lighting conditions were terrible because I was foolish enough (and late enough with the assignment) to take them at night. Even in my room with two bright lights on, nothing really compares to natural sunlight coming through the windows. I learned that you should take pictures in the day time if you want something that looks natural. With that said, the low light conditions provided some shots with a nifty stylized look. In this part of the assignment I also learned to look at every day objects in a different way in order to find symbols within them.
