Assignment #5 On your belly!

the shot of these stairs is my favorite shot from the "on your belly" assignment, i got this idea when i was shooting the "night" assignment in film photography. back then i saw this cool shadow that shows the stairs descending into darkness. i thought it was extremely cool so i got my pentax camera and got a tripod and shot it. i did all the developing and the picture turned out to be amazing. i loved it. then i figured out that the camera is facing down so it could be like im on my belly looking down onto something. so i tried for the same great shot i took back in the film class. i got most of what it looked like, but its not perfect..






overall, i didnt like this assignment, i would say only some things are required to be shot on your belly to get a decent or good looking shot. not everything shot on your belly or your back will turn out good. thats why this assignment was pretty hard for me. i couldnt find much of the right thing to shoot that would look good on my belly.

Assignment #4 high key/low key

this white mouse was shot on a white cardboard slip. this is probably the second best one of the high key/low key pictures i shot. i find shooting high key is a lot harder than low key because i have trouble finding white stuff where i can put onto a white backround and also place in good light.


these are my black logitech speakers. this is the best one of my pictures in the high key/low key assignment. this is much better than my white mouse high key one because for me, when i am shooting low key i figured out that you dont always need to find the best light because if its a little to dark then it could look a lot more sharp, mysterious, and sometimes even more interesting.




this one was interesting to shoot because this mac mouse isnt completely black, it it first clear, then has a black inside. so i figured hey, this might turn out really cool if i can shoot the clear mouse w/ a black backround. but if i shot it from any other angle, it was hard to distinguish the clearness. so i had to shoot it from a birds eye point of view, but then i found out you could see a bit of a glare, but figured it was something i had to deal w/
