40 and 1/3 (a landscape study)

The idea of this project is to use a 40 mm lens and take photos that are 1/3 land, 2/3 sky. Landscapes, cityscapes, etc. I got this idea from a photographer's work I really like, named Cole Rise. Here are his photos from this project (his is 50 mm and 2/3):   fifty & two thirds: no.1 (waves before a storm)

fifty & two thirds: no.2

fifty & two thirds: no.3

So a full roll of film (digital) = 36 images at least. Due by Thursday, October 20th.

Project: Review

So these are some of the pictures from the review project. I think that it was good for me to review what I learned in the previous two photo classes, but I rushed taking the pictures. Also since this project is a compilation of a lot of different projects I was switching things around way too much. I didn't get to focus on any one thing and I don't feel like I improved because of that. But, overall, it was nice to be able to remember everything I know already. Onto the next project!

Project one: Review

This project is a review of everything I have learned from my photo 1 and photo 2 classes. The project is a compilation of every photo project thus far. The goal is to take 3-6 pictures using the themes of previous projects. So at the end of the project I will have reviewed all of the things I have learned so far.
Projects (in order):
- One thing
- Portraits
- Types of light
- Rule of thirds/symetry/leading lines
- Self portraits
- Multiple exposures
- Blur
- Architecture
- "It's not too late to..."
- Landscapes
- Still life
- Identity (self portraits)
So that's 36-72 photos total for all of the projects. Due date: Friday, the 30th.
