The tip I chose to utilize for this assignment is: Create Depth: Look for ways to add dimension of visual depth in your 2 dimensional images- play with foreground, lines, use of wide angle lenses, use of dark backgrounds (How to Be a Better Photographer, suggestions from TEN: Ten Ways to Improve Your Craft.

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/your-very-own-spubble/ Assignment: Your Very Own Spubble This assignment was quite the comedic task because it made me have to think of a good caption to write. Why the caption and pose next to a stool, you ask? I picked: “where did the couch go?” because I’m currently at my boyfriend’s house and his parents are … Continue reading Don’t Burst My Spubble

For my first visual assignment, I started with my very own spubble. I decided to give an insight into the mind of an athlete and show everyone what we are thinking at every moment (not literally). PUT ME IN COACH. Seems like such a simple phrase that can have an overpowering impact on athletes. Every day […]

I found this activity very entertaining. Feeling slightly rushed and motivated to complete as many of the tasks as possible in only 15 minutes made this assignment fun. I chose the kitchen to do my photo safari. I thought about all the appliances and utensils in there and figured I may be able to find […]

First off, I chose to do this in my house, because it’s been nasty and rainy, and I didn’t think I wanted to take a picture of someone else’s feet in public. So I improvised. The experience was overall kind of stressful, I felt panicked trying to figure out what to take pictures of, or […]

My boyfriend and I were cracking up when I made this. I inserted the picture of a cat and the subtitle just came to me. I’ve often told friends and family that my spirit animal is the cat because personality-wise we are similar. I have just always had cats and my family are cat-people so … Continue reading Game of Thrones House

One tip about photography that I messed around with this week was: LIGHTING! The tip given in the assignment is listed below: Look to the light. Probably the most key lesson- be aware of light that works and what does not. Knowing about shadows, directions, aiming for directions where light is strong (or not). Good light […]

I shot my first video today for DS106. I used my iPhone and Action Movie FX to film it. My video’s usually end with something violent happening…

I chose to do my photo safari primarily in the office, but also in the surrounding areas at my home in Charlottesville. The office is a room with dimensions about 15X20 feet. It has 4 computers, 5 desks, 10 windows, and lots and lots of books. It is relatively organized for an office, but has an assortment … Continue reading Photo Safari
