Because of this class, there are two new words that I use EVERY day, not to mention a piece of equipment I use every day due to those two words. What are those words? Manual and Bracketing, and my equipment, well my camera of corse! These two words in combination with my camera have been the most valuable things I have gained form this class. Because of the requirement to do manual I was forced to learn how to get some control of my tool instead of it controlling me! I started of with shooting in "P" mode and by being sure to use my camera every day, slowly moved to "M". I never though I would see the day that I would say I will NEVER shoot in green mode again!! The other MAJOR tool that has contributed to allowing to me shoot manual is the technique of bracketing! Funny enough that was the assignment I found most difficult and yet I use it every time I turn my camera on! I have always had an interest for photography, but now find myself LOVING it! I carry my camera with me everywhere I go and am looking for every opportunity to use it. This has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to practice, practice, practice!!
And now for my final project. I dont have a sad story to tell, in fact mine is one that fills my life with so much joy its difficult to express. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for horses. They inspire me when Im down, they show me honesty and courage. When I was a little girl my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and my answer was of corse a horse. Here I have tried to portray the amazing roll and influence horses have played in my life as well as those I associate with.





VERY strong images. Each one a pleasure to visit with. Guess what? I don't like horses. But, from start to finish of your final I absolutely adored them. Very well done :)
ReplyDeleteMatt, thanks!!!! YOur so nice!
ReplyDeleteSo good! Love it! And just to let you know, when you said you want to photograph like me, girl you're already there! Im nervous to show my work after you've shown yours (SERIOUSLY) because your stuff is fab!
ReplyDeleteyou have beautiful motion in a lot of these photos. I really love close up of the horse with the ribbons, it makes me think of the quote from the national geographer that "if you want to make something more interesting, don't show all of it".
ReplyDeletegreat, great work
I am in love with all these shots! I am not a huge horse fan, although I do enjoy a fun horse ride trip, however, these pictures entice me! Again, I absolutely LOVE these picture, they are wonderful! Great job!!!
