Purpose:
To push your creative thinking,
To practice photographing on a regular basis,
To continue to learn how your camera/mobile device works and interacts with varying light/subject/situations.
To get in close to the subject so that it abstracts it.
Pine Needles
I think plants look really cool when they are photographed up close so I wanted to try it on a tree in our yard. I think the colors and the arraignment of the needles, as well as the branch itself, are really interesting.
Worn Buoy
The texture of the buoy and the rope it's connected to I think look really cool. The colors of paint flaking off of the buoy make it seem old and show how much it has been through. The closer you get the more you can appreciate how cool it looks.
Eye of the Golden
I was trying to get a picture of my dogs eyes and she moved her head at the perfect time to get this angle of her looking at my camera. I really liked the perspective and how soft her hair and eyes look.
