From Above

       Our assignment this time was to take two photos "from above".  We only had an hour to take one photograph and it had to be taken on campus; the other photograph could be taken at anytime and anywhere.  In both settings, the subject of the picture could not be in the center. This project was challenging because of the time limit, the time of day, and the lack of being able to plan for the first photo.  Contrary to what I originally thought, I got several really good photographs during this one hour.  (Even though my battery died, TWICE!)  The assignment was only to post two photographs, but I couldn't decide between three so I posted them all.  Hope you enjoy.

With these first set of photos, I stood outside on a chair at one of the patio tables; the sun was at such a place in the sky that it put a shadow on another chair around the patio table. I placed the chair to the right of the picture with the shadow lingering to the right.  Simple, but the simplicity is what draws me to this picture.

These next photos were taken of leaves on a brick walkway.  I actually didn't take many of these photos, and most of them did not turn out very well because of lighting and placement of the leaves.  This photo was the only one that I liked out of this set, and now it's my favorite picture I took that day.

This last set of photographs were taken in the courtyard of Fanning Hall after I charged my battery for my camera.  I didn't expect any of these to turn out very well, but a couple of them did.  This one was my favorite because it was so different.
