Critique III

3D Critique

This critique allowed us to play with space and light. Specifically, it was designed to let us prove our skills with a number of different lighting situations and depths of field. Here's some of the stuff we came up with.

I wish we had spent the time we spent on photograms and used it to play more with this assignment. This was the most difficult critique in that it required the most shooting skills. At the same time, we were all still trying to figure out how to come up with a decent print.

This is basically a "still-life" assignment. Take pictures of things with 3 dimensions. You'd think it wouldn't be so hard. I had some difficulty figuring out the depth-of-field techniques. The lighting techniques were much more interesting to me. (In all my experience taking pictures since I got my first camera in 9th grade, the depth-of-field in pictures takes care of itself. It's the lighting that really matters.) But, of course, since taking this wonderful photography course, I have been forced to learn many amazing and horrible things that I never thought I'd have a use for. There is a good moral here: Never Underestimate The Power Of A Crazy Professor.
