For my first assignment in photo 1 with professor Cyr, the class had to basically experiment with our cameras. Each student had to take ten photographs of a high ISO, low ISO, vast depth of field, shallow depth of field, etc. In total there had to be 60 photos and it was a little stressful because it can be hard to think of 60 different picture ideas. In the beginning it was easier to think of things and get the creative juices going, but then I ran out of ideas. The hardest for myself personally was to get images using a fast shutter speed and low shutter speeds, especially the low shutter speed. Personally i'm not a fan of blurred photos so I didn't think any of my photographs looked good like that. All in all it was a positive thing to get to know my camera better and experiment a bit with my pictures. The one photo I liked the most was with a shallow depth of field. It was sunset and i used a dog's eye view to get the image of the tree. I really like that one because sunsets are one of my favorite things and I plan on going into the field of landscape photography and/or wildlife. This project was a little difficult but it did make me think outside the box a bit of what I usually take photos of. Now it is a little easier to think of things to take pictures of and to not just settle with the first image, take multiple in different ways to get different perspectives.
