Sweet Lincoln's Mullet: Micro-Assignment 1

Micro-Assignment 1

While obvious similarities did exist, my two photographing experiences were each distinctly unique. For similarities, there was the fact that I was using the same camera and taking the same number of pictures. Further more, all of my pictures are of pretty simple and similar scenes in both takes. The primary difference between the experiences was the amount of thought I put into each. For the first 10 photos, I just walked around and took photos of ten things I thought could make relatively interesting photos. The second 10 photos took a lot more mental preparation and planning. I had specific objectives and goals for each of the photos, so I had to have a relative idea of what I was going to shoot before I even pulled the camera up.

I think the 2nd set of photos was more enjoyable for me. I had a little more structure and direction for these photos, so it was easier to think about what would make an interesting shot since I had a defined framework to work within.

The 10th photo of my original 10 is my favorite (even though I couldn't get the lighting right :/ ) because, I mean come on, it's a skull with a mustache on it.......From the new set, I think the photo from the view of an ant is my favorite. I think that it is a kind of cool looking shot, and I also won a lot of basketball on that hoop this weekend.
