Long Exposure 2 For this week, we were tasked with a similar job as to last week. We had to continue to take long exposure photos, and improve on last weeks batch. This week I focused more on making sure that the background in the pictures were in focus and not blurry. I also wanted to try and take some new types of pictures, however, it was not too easy. I found that bright colors make the pictures a little more interesting and add another nice dynamic. 

Long Exposure For this weeks project we were tasked with the job of creating long exposure pictures. We did this by setting the shutter speed on the cameras very low so that the shutter would stay open for longer. The problem with this is that it allows more light in to the camera so it is important to either have a light filter or to shoot in a darker space, both of which we did. The first day we were just experimenting with different methods and different settings on the camera, and on the second day we focused on more specific details. This project involved a lot of trail and error in order to figure out what pictures would work well and which ones wouldn't. 

Double Exposure  This week we were assigned the task of creating pictures that were 'dreamlike'. We did this through using old pictures and reediting them to make them work for this project. I found that layering copies of the same picture and moving them around a little created a really nice looking image. I found it hard at first thinking of ways to make the pictures, however I experimented with different methods and ended up finding a few that worked.

Reflections For this project we were tasked with the job of finding and taking pictures with the goal of creating a reflection in the pictures. On the second day of this project it had rained overnight and we were able to use puddles in order to create a reflection, however this created a much darker looking image. On the final day of the project it was a sunny day, which I thought made it better the take pictures as the sun was reflecting off of windows which made really clear reflections. I thought this was a pretty fun project as it was interesting trying to find reflections on different objects.
