Hah, Hah, Hah....I have to laugh when I look at some of my previous posts. It is funny how your perspective changes as time goes by. Been taking lots of pictures, both film and digital. We just started learning large format.....coooolll. It was fun, tedious, nice and slow and bizarre to see the image upside down. I think I like it. Of course this was only my first two sheets of film, so lets see what I am saying when I get it out of deep tank processing. LOL.
I got my own Bronica medium format camera. It is nice to have the same camera for each assignment. The consistency really helps. I plan on continuing to shoot film after school. I work on the 35 mm film too.
I am also enjoying the portrait and object lighting class. I was lamenting over the awfulness of my lighting at Christmas and Thanks giving. Now, I have more of a clue, so I will try again next holiday, if my family will tolerate it. It is bound to look better. I love shooting for portfolio because we get to have a little more creative freedom. Most of our assignments are pretty technical like shooting the "sphere I & II" projects and the digital color assignments, although we do have some creative freedom within the parameters. I liked the Analogous assignment because I did a photo safari around campus and found the lovely tree against the carolina blue (cyan) sky. It is so zen and I like zen. I also had fun with some lizards that live in the rocks around a koi pond outside our building.
