photography

This week I decided to tackle photography.  I have a point-and-shoot Sony Cybershot camera. It has traveled with me to many places including Hershey Park, my baby cousin’s baptism, Spain, and has taken thousands of pictures of friends, family members, scenery, and random things I think just look cool.  So for my “project” this week, I took a variety of pictures in different settings in my dorm room. I played around with light, distance, texture, flash, and props.

            For some of the pictures, I took the photo from inside a glass jar.  The light reflected off the object (loose change) and made it the focus of the photo. For another, my friend helped me to set a scene with the jars. I took a bunch of my roommate’s dried roses that she received when she had her appendix out earlier this school year. Next, I snapped a few close-range of a splatter painting in my room. Finally, the last shots were of my Christmas lights which are still proudly hanging in my room.

On Wednesday morning, I saw that the trees and bushes were covered with ice from the storm from the preceding night.  However, I was on my way to class and did not have time to run back for my camera. When I got out of class, much to my dismay, everything was melting. So now I have no pictures of the frozen trees and the after-math rained on me!  Fortunately, it didn’t keep me down for too long though because I figure we are probably going to have another snow/ice storm this year.

             Unfortunately, the reason you cannot see the pictures is because I just I came to the realization I do not have access to a memory card reader and have a uniquely small memory card. I found this out by trying to use a few of my friends’ computers and having the memory card almost getting lost in the abyss.  This good news is I am going home this weekend (Superbowl and my 19th birthday woohooo!) so I will be able to upload the pictures from my desktop. So if you want to see any of the pictures just check back on Monday.
