For our second project, we had to experiment with a digital SLR camera.
When I heard this I thought to myself, this is going to be extremely easy, as I have used a DSLR Nikon D60 and D3000 for the past few years. ...... Well I was wrong.
This project turned out to be very challenging. It made you look at everyday life in a different way. Looking for letters made out of tree branches, turning a brown bag with handles into the letter 'm'.
It sent myself, and probably all of us in the class, a message telling us that the best photos and images are not planned or staged or fabricated. All of my 'letters' I stumbled across when going about everyday life, such as the weekend at my cottage, the walk downtown oakville and just wandering around my house. A great example of this is the second 'n' which I came across on the beach at my cottage, after the deer had been there in the morning.
When trying to tackle this assignment I thought it could never be complete. Each of my letters were different sizes, some were overexposed, some were underexposed, others just could not be used. But with the help of a little photoshop all of these problems were gone, and I was left with a project I was proud of:
