Blog Assignment 1
The paint chip was interesting for me. I just got this new camera and I am learning how to use it. Metering was spotty as I am using my old film lenses. Using the Sunny 16 rule and a borrowed light meter has solved this problem. There is no auto focus, no image stabilization and I have to use the aperture ring. It really is like shooting film again in that regard, especially when things get a bit faster paced. This in turn causes me to be less complacent. I love it.
I feel like I had some interesting shots, but nothing to write home to mom about. I feel that the shot that was truest to my style is the one of Val at his mixer. I have always liked shallow depth of field, and this old 50 MM prime has really beautiful bokeh, as much as I dislike that term. The Ford was also a pretty strong image, although looking back the wasp was distracting as was mentioned in critique.
I was most inspired by Haley's work not for the mild shock value but more because it reminded me to not abandon my style for the class, but rather to adapt my style to the class, hopefully creating something new and interesting.
