Photography
The photography part was a lot more fun. It was also a bit more difficult. One thing I learned is that people do not like to be photographed. Maybe on a red carpet, they’ll mug and pose, but in the real world, people don’t respond well to a girl with a telephoto crouched behind a tree. If they saw me, they looked a little nervous. When they didn’t see me was when I got the good shots.
This assignment was easy, though, because I could get away with taking photos of a moving subject and not getting their information. For the next assignment, it will be harder. I’ll worry about that then.
After about an hour of lurking around and snapping away, I ended up with 100 or so pictures. After uploading them, I realized there weren’t a whole lot of good ones. Backgrounds were too busy, the car in the background was in focus instead of the subject, the person’s face was obscured by a pole.
I ended up cropping one to make the proportions right. Outdoor photos are eary—plenty of light. Indoor shots are going to be the tough ones.
