Things I hate to photograph
When I heard the topic for this weeks photos I went through the different kinds of photos I could take (ie: portraits, landscapes, macro, black and white, shallow depth of feild, ect.) and since there arn’t many photos I absalutely hate taking… I decided which photos I like to take best and eliminated them one by one. After completing this process I discovered that my least favorite kinds of photos are close up, macro photos. Once this was decided I just had to think of something to photograph and because of the storm and constant snow/rain over the weekend I knew these pictures had to be taken inside. So I got out my macro lens and grabbed some foods from around my house (and my cat of course) and began to take pictures near the window where the lighting was best.

- This is my first overlay that I made with the snowflake photo on top of my cat!

- This is an overlay with the honey on top of the coffee beans.
-
- In this photo I took honey and sqeezed it all over plastic wrap, making it easy to stretch between two surfaces (I used my sink) so the background wasn’t a solid color and gave a better “positive-negative-space-look”.
-
- I knew that coffee beans would be a cool thing to photograph so I decided to lay them out on a plate and bring it over to the window where the natural light was.

- This photo was really hard to take because my cat is constantly moving and doesn’t like getting her picture taken. However, I am happy with the way it came out

Perry, I like the shallow depth of field and how myserious your photos are. You really have to look at them closely to understand what it actually is. The only picture that bothers me are the coffee beans. I wish just a little more was in focus. It was a good decision to go near a window though for the best light so the photos didn’t have an off color.
