Assignment 4

IMAGINE YOU ARE TOLD TO TAKE 10 IMAGES, YOU CANNOT CHEAT AND DELETE, AND YOU MUST STAND IN ONE PLACE. OH, AND MAKE IT INTERESTING. MY ONE WISH FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT WAS THAT WE COULD DO TWO DIFFERENT SETS. MY FIRST ATTEMPT WAS AT STARBUCKS - UNFORTUNATELY THE LIGHTING WAS SO BAD THAT I HAD TO TRASH THAT BATCH. (IT MAY MAKE A COME BACK ONCE LIGHTROOM EDITING GETS ITS HANDS ON IT!) BUT THIS WAS MY SECOND SET. SAN DIEGO HAD BEEN HIT BY A FEW STORMS, SO INSTEAD OF SUNSHINE & BLUE SKIES WE HAD GRAY SKIES AND ANGRY, STORM CLOUDS. I SNUCK IN BETWEEN THE RAIN STORM TO THE CANYON BY OUR HOMES, AND CAPTURED A FEW GREAT IMAGES . FULL DISCLOSURE: I RARELY HIKE THIS AREA ALONE SO I JUST WENT TO WHERE I FELT SAFE- NINA BEING ATTACKED BY A COUGAR WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A GREAT SHOOT (THEN AGAIN ...). BUT I DID LOVE THE CONTRAST OF THE LUSH GREENERY & THE DESERT LIKE SAND AND I WAS OVERALL HAPPY WITH THIS SHOOT. PLANTING OUR FEET AND MOVING OURSELVES IN DIFFERENT ANGLES/DIRECTIONS TO CAPTURE OUR SURROUNDINGS DID REALLY MAKE YOU FOCUS AND LOOK AT WHAT WAS AROUND YOU, AND FOR THAT I WAS APPRECIATIVE.
