100 Shots

   For our Creative Imaging class we had to take 100 pictures of one object in one location. This was HARD!!!! I mean how many ways can you look at one object? Apparently more than 100... I started getting frustrated after the first 25-30 pics. I found that I had to walk away from my location a number of times during this assignment. I did this to clear my mind and re-focus myself on what I was doing, and it helped.

   While trying to find 100 ways to "see" my object was hard and frustrating, it was also kind of fun. It really took me out of my box and stretched me to think of my object in different ways. I know that my final pics were NOT fabulous (in fact they were pretty bad), but I think that I am starting to understand why Sarah had us do this exercise.

   Other than trying to think of numerous ways to "see" my object, my biggest frustration was the location I had chosen, my living room. My living room was fine except for the lighting! Even with the few extra lights I brought in, it was still too dark. UGH!!!!! It was really challenging to get the exposure and white balance right.

   It was a stretching exercise, and hard like a rock, but I think that I'll do this exercise on my own from time to time to take me out of my box and challenge myself. And I WON'T be doing it in my living room again!
