Exercise: Two Dozen

By -

 

























For this exercise I decided to shoot at the Waco courthouse and at cameron park near the walking trail. The images from my two locations differed pretty greatly especially when it came down to the people who were captured in some of my photos. At the courthouse I saw a lot of sheriffs and business professionals, where at Cameron Park everyone was there to go on a walk, run or ride their bike. I think there is a greater range to my images at the second location (Cameron Park) because after taking all my photos at the first location I had a better understanding at how to look at my surroundings in different ways. I think the images did become a little harder to shoot at the very end, especially near the courthouse, because in some areas it is hard to find meaningful compositions that would look appealing. I did however take some photos at both locations that I am very happy with. I noticed that with some of the items I took photos of I would take two photos of the same thing but change the orientation or the crop on the image in order to see which one I liked more. To me these slight differences made the photos look a lot different. I liked this exercise because it made me think creatively and intentionally on how I wanted to capture my images, especially because we could not delete or edit any of the photos afterwards.

    There is a lot of variety in these images. You show 360 degrees of the area, and vertical motion. I like that how you included images of the sky throw the trees, and also the river. I do wish you would have explored different heights of shooting though. Like getting down close up images of the grass. or sidewalk.

       In terms of my images, they differ mostly due to one of the locations being interior and the second being exterior. There is a greater difference in the images at the second location, and I believe that to be the case because I was more interested in the lighting of that location therefore was more eager to find interesting lighting in a wider variety of subjects. I don't necessarily believe that the images became easier or harder to shoot, I think this exercise just caused me to shift what I was looking at during shooting.

      While my first set of images were taken in the city with lots of buildings on every corner, I feel that I did better in my second set which is taken in Cameron Park. I took more time to look for the right shots and really took the time to think about different perspectives. On my first set, I stood the entire time not changing my level. The second set, I remembered that I could bend my knees and get lower. I think this happened because there was not a lot going on in nature like there is in the city, so it pushed me to get different kinds of perspectives. I also think I was more relaxed on the second set and felt comfortable with the objective. The images got increasingly harder to shoot because I got all of the big central objects done first. I focused first on the most important visual aspects first. This led me to take more time for the little things that I might've  missed.
