Photography
Week 1 (last week): the first assignment was to walk around and take twenty photos with a… blindfold covering our eyes. We had the camera set to auto focus instead of manual focus (which I’m usually a lot better at) so we could take photos without looking at what you are taking a picture of. We chose a room in the house that we had to take pictures in: I chose the living room/office while Mom and Mae both chose the kitchen/art/dining room. As you can imagine, this leads to wacky photos. Most were blurry but some turned out good and we really liked them. My favorites are a textured candle and a chair.
Week 2 (this week): this week’s assignment was to take a lot of blurry photos on purpose (thankfully WITHOUT a blind fold). This time I took photos on aperture priority mode and manual focus. I chose to walk around the farm on several inches of snow from a week ago (it used to be almost fifteen inches deep). I worked on the project by myself this week, Mom and Mae were busy. I would take a crisp photo then a blurry one. I discovered I liked to have trees kind of in focus but not quite.
