Assignment #4 - Color

I loved this assignment because it challenged me a ton. 
I liked keeping my eye out for yummy colors.  But I also second guessed myself a lot and probably
wasted precious time worrying about what was right?
This kept up right until the end as you can see since I posted lots.
I just never got any to sing the way I wanted them to.
I learned that I like to bracket but I need to go more to the extreme,
because I'm usually wishing I could see more.



HEEEEERE we go.

 monochromatic

Assignment #3 - Reshoot

Okay.. so I promised a mind grenade.
Maybe not gonna blow your mind all over the room --BUT these are sooo much better than my last set.
I'm so happy I re-shot.
I still love love my tripod, and i discovered alot about white and what is truly white.







oh.. who cares what my camera thought - because it was cyan, and wrong.
It has lost it's right to an opinion.

Here was my only low-key worth talking about. :)

Assignment #3 - High Key / Low Key

I really loved this assignment. I felt like I just wanted to keep taking pictures. It was a great chance to get creative with how the picture turned out.
I think I'll continue keeping my eye out for more pictures and experiment more 
with what I can say using these elements. 
Oh and the other thing is.... I LOVE MY TRIPOD. It's the best ever ever ever ever ever ever.

that said -- this is what my camera liked.... yyyyuuuck -- okay they are just average looking.













 this was my favorite! ^^^

Assignment #2 - Numbers

This assignment kicked my booty... really it did. I lost my pictures, left my card reader in southern Utah, and I think my hard drive just broke... thanks technology....thanks.


But here goes nothing! I actually liked my second set of pictures better than my first!










one lonely rock.







  
two hot air balloons








5 railroad beams








8 starting gates








I saw the number 9 in this metal 








Rodeo "whatevers" 1 & 3 make 13.















stretch your mind... this was in front of apartment number 43 in my townhome circle.

Assignment #1 - Scavenger Hunt

 original

 the "pretty" one

the UGLY... the internet loves this.

Llamas are pretty much amazing and wonderful. I bet you never knew what llama knees looked like.... please cherish this new found knowledge.
I learned how to export from lightroom, and how easy it is to get
carried away with those little sliders.  I learned I need to 
be more careful when I'm out shooting my pictures so that I can just make
minor adjustments when in Lightroom.

Imagine if Bigfoot and a Llama had a baby -- these knees, and those feet would be something else.
