DOF and Motion Assignment

We were asked to do an assignment that focused (no pun intended) on depth of field shots as well as motion shots. I thought this was extremely hard for me personally, only because I was convinced that my camera couldn't go depth of field. Lo and behold, Kara got to messing around with it and she got it to work. I did have several photoshopped but once I learned how to get my camera to do it I scrapped them (they weren't very good anyway). So here are the "new" pictures!

The second one is probably my favorite, followed closely by the first. If I had to have one of these critiqued, I'd say the cotton one.

Next, here are my motion pictures:

My favorite is the one of all the girls jumping up, if only for the reason that Miss Copous is getting some air! haha If I had to have one of these critiqued, I'd say that one. :)

Just Messin Around

I would have posted this assignment WAY sooner because to be honest, when I get bored I do this a lot for fun but I'd COMPLETELY forgotten about it. We were askedtp post a few pictures to show that we've been playing around with colors in Gimp. Here is a picture I took last week at the IBMA Convention of Alison Krauss and Union Station. The first one is the original and the next two are the edits.

If I HAD To Pick One....

After searching and oogling and "ooh"ing and "ahh"ing..I think I've finally found a photographer who rises above the rest. Gregg Lefevre is SO random and modern it's not even funny. The website won't let me copy and paste any of his photos so you'll have to go HERE to look at some of his work. His Gaga Gugu pictures are different as are his graffitti. I bet he has a fun, quirky, almost weird personality, but I could be reading into his work a little too much. lol Honestly? His work makes me want to live in the city and for an artist to make you want to do something like that, in my opinion, takes a good amount of talent.

Motion and Depth of Field

 Here are a few pictures I took while I was in Nashville this past week at the International Bluegrass Music Association business conference and fan fest. The first picture I've decided to turn in for our Motion assignment and in my opinion you can clearly see that he's tearin his guitar up! In the second picture, you can tell that it was the fiddle player who was up front and taking a break. They're two of my favorite pictures I took the whole week. :)
