I took a few photos of things around my house that I thought would look good in black and white but most of the pictures were from previous assignments. I do not have photo shop so I had to use Picasa. All week long I found myself looking at things and trying to picture them in black and white.

Macro Photography

I went looking for things to photograph in my back yard and Forest Park on Saturday but it was so windy that I only got a few shots. Then I found things around my house. It was easier to get the light right outside. The photos inside were much more of a challenge because of the shadows and lighting.

Artifical light portraits

My niece was more than eager to help me. It was hard to make time to do the assignment since my dad was put in the hospital. When I was doing the portraits Megan's glasses were hard to photograph so we did them without her glasses on.

Architecture

I went to the Old Courthouse downtown on Saturday and took pictures on the inside. On Sunday I went back and took pictures of the outside from all sides. Sunday was a much better day to be outside. I have come to realize that when I start taking pictures I forget to change the settings when they need to be changed.
