Lipkin Roll

In shooting the lipkin roll, i spent a solid amount of time taking images with Karl, my ceramics teacher. for the most part i don't edit myself before i get the pictures off of the camera, i'll take a quick look on the preview and then adjust my camera settings and get a new picture to have a new different picture, and sometiems i will bracket just to see what the differences are in post-camera work. so in response, i didn't do to much different with the lipkin roll as opposed to how i normally shoot, except paying less attention to the screen on my camera (which was easy to do because for the most part i had my camera really high up on my tripod.. to the point where i would have to stand on a tall stool just to look through the lens.

(possibly gonna post pictures later... if i feel like it

Self Portrait assingment #1

in shooting for this asignment, i found some things difficult. On one hand i had just acquired my new camera, so in shooting this assignment it was a real trial stage in just learning the camera because i had never worked with anything like it before. fortunately enough i caught on quick and was able to capture many immages that i shall find invaluable in the future. In actually sticking to the "self portrait" aspect of the assignment, i had some difficulty in the conceptual phase. when i normally think of a self portrait i tend to think of a picture of one's self, and in working with a camera, i'm not to fond of being infront of the lens and would rather be working from behind it. also, one of the biggest aspects in my life is mountain biking, which is what i really wanted to be shooting for the self portrait, and as many of you know now, i didn't have my bike to photograph. instead i made do with what i had, and i feel i accomplished this assignment very well despite the lack of my bicycle.
