this assignment was interesting.  i found it hard to think of a concept for a place i wasn't sure of.  when i got there i noticed that i was taking pictures of windows though empty window frames.  i used this right off the bat.  i was a little limited because i wanted to keep unnecessary obstacles that were all around.  when we showed our images in class i noticed how washed out my images were getting.  so i took the re shoot critique well.

Fmb BMX

My second event was a bmx bike show that one of my good friends was competing in.  prior to the event i asked him what type of aesthetic he preferred and we agreed that we would try and shoot the highest amount of action possible.  first thing i did there was turn on the continous shooting feature so i could capture the action at it's height.  it was a pretty good day for shooting a little overcast but sunny at times.  in class it was brought up that formally my images we a little washed out.  i like my images and maybe can see where some people are coming from but i had an idea of what my friend wanted and he was more then pleased.  

Game Night

My event was game night.  i got some friends over and we played apples to apples.  it's a word assiocation game and i wanted to capture each persons facial expression with the card they won with.  i told them basically nothing except for the fact i was going to take their picture.  their expression was up to them.  formally my images were well in focus but dimly lit.  If game night happens again i will take the advice and shoot a combonation of the reactions and some of the actual game play.
