Assignment #3 - Monochromatic

So, Monochromatic. Yes. I loved this assignment. I didn't at first, but as I kept shootind and getting better ideas, I started to fall in love more with my camera and the images. I learned that I don't need to shoot just what I think will work. Sometimes, shooting bad images gives you good ideas for other, better images. I also learned that composition is way important. I took many images of the same thing in different ways, and then I got better images. My first were much less interesting than the ones I took after a few shots of the same thing. I also learned again how important focusing is. But I think this time, I might actually continue to work on it. The ones I loved the most were always in focus. And Emma's oh my gosh they were so fantastically awesome and perfectly in focus. And light is so important too. All of the best ones have good light. And good light can make an uninteresting image interesting. And it makes the color much better. So maybe these lessons will stick with me.


So... green watering can on green grass.. yeah thats monochromatic. Not my favorite out of my monochromatic shots though. But, I was cold and we taking this image so I wasn't very excited about spending time on this one.


Black photo binders!! Exciting... They are my sister's... and I had to take them into my room because the light in her room is horrible and after taking several images in her room, I went back to my lovely light that always helps me.

I love this one. It's a basket-type thing. It's also my sister's and the color it was in my sister's room was so incredibly horrible compared to how it was in my room. It's not a super exciting image, but I like it for some reason. I love the 3 nails and the focus on the woven things. And I love the color, with light from my favorite lamp. I wish the nails were perfectly in focus though.

Similar to the other one, because its the same thing, I love the color on this one too, and I don't know, its just rather interesting to me. I wish I could've focused it a little differently though.

My blue scrunchie/loofa/ whatever you like to call it on my blue shower curtain. Fantasticly blue. I like the composition on this one. ps my favorite color is blue :)

Little eggs on white under white washcloth. So cute! Somebody in class said "I feel like they are hiding from the rain." And I love that idea of them as beign personified and it gives you a much stronger feeling when looking than just thinking of them as eggs under a washcloth.

Green leaves! When shoothing this, I kept changing what was in focus to try to decide what I liked the best, and I think I like this shot, but don't love it. I do like the bright little circle on the edge of the leaf.

One of my favorite for this assignment!! Purple lamp with purple lamp shade. And the lamp is turned on, which is why it's bright in the middle and gets darker on the bottom. I love that. And I took so many shots of this before I got this composition that I liked the best. And it was worth it.

Green button on a green scrapbook. Yeah I'm creative :). But I couldn't get it perfect ever, I don't think. But I do like this image. I kept changing the angle and where the button was and how close I was, and none of them really worked for me. But I liked this one the best. I never put it in the middle though, because that bothers me.

Not a great one. Just red shirts. But its just my 10th one, so I don't feel too ashamed. I took some shots with just regular light of these, then turned on my favorite lamp that I always use, and they looked tons better. Although the color was a little skewed with such a yellow lamp. But that will change with my new white balacing. There were so many red shirts I have, who knew? This is my favorite out of these shots, obviously but I never really loved the composition of all the different shades of red.
