Hello All,

I have been MIA for the past two weeks, and I apologize about that. Life can get away from you sometimes.

I am posting the past two weeks assignment photos and this weeks assignment photos in this one posting.

For the by the see photos I went to the beach with my mother and son. While they played in the sand and cold water I shot about 40+ photos. I thought shooting the beach was difficult because a lot of the shots were so similar. In addition, there is not a lot of color at the beach. It is pretty much black, brown, and clear/murky water.

For the assignment on shadows, and light I took some photos around my neighbor hood. I found this pretty cool. I never really paid attention to the way different objects cast shadows on the ground. We have a lake behind one of the sections of condos, so I also went there in an attempt to get the trees reflecting off of the water.

For the God is in details project I also shot objects in my neighborhood. This was my favorite assignment so far. I enjoyed getting up close to objects, my parakeet, and several different bugs. I followed 2 dragon fly around for several mins, and obtained three up close pictures of them. Out of those three only 1 was worth saving. I also found a bee on a plant, which I was able to capture. I attempted to take a photo of a butterfly and a beetle, but they were not being cooperative. I also was able to capture my parakeet at a close angle, so he appeared to be much larger than he really is.

I found it so amazing what detail there is in objects of nature up close. I also never thought my camera would shoot so well at such a close angle.

I will post my last three weeks photos over the next several day due to the fact that we are only able to post 5 photos at a time on fotothing.

hope you enjoy them!
