Photography 2.7

This week I took advantage of the beautiful weather we have been having and took a hike! I was so happy to be able to get out and try a few new things. My plan for this week was to do some sort of action shot, I was originally planning on doing some with my dog but went out on a bit of a limb ans tried something else.


These shots I tried throwing snow in the air and catching it as it fell to the ground. It was difficult to maneuver the camera quickly and the snow was not very fluffy and clumped up. I thought the sun would help see the snow better, but it ended up making a few spots. It was not exactly what I was imagining in my head but it gave me a good idea of what to do better next time.
Then I went back to my previous method of focusing on something close and then having a big background image. I was really happy with the way this one turned out.
Next week I hope to use the action mode on my camera more now that I know how to use it a little better. The real challenge will be when I try it on my dog because he does not like to sit still for very long at all.

    Wow these pictures look great! The Picture with the snow in the air looks really cool. What kind of camera are you using? Or is it just your phone?

Taxidermy 1.4

Welcome back, taxidermy has really taken off this week. For a while I have been doing mostly busy work preparing for that actual mounting of the quail. I am on track with my planning and will have this all mounted with plenty of time to create a habitat or a creative way to display it. So I started off by fleshing and skinning the quail. The ones that we had thawed out were very beat up, they had holes from dog bites and broken bones from the transporting process.  Skinning these birds was much more difficult than I anticipated, the skin is very, very thin and I would be lying if I said I didn't cut a few holes. One of the wings was completely broken so that made the process of removing the skin off of the wings without further damage quite difficult. The first bird I started on was too beat up from dogs to work with so I decided to use the other quail we had instead, but this one does not have as nice of tail feathers, but at least both of its legs are intact. After the s...

For this week, I am going to take what I have learned so far in my photography project and outline the main mistakes I have made, as well as the things you should never do while taking pictures. Some of the tips I have either read online or learned from my friends who are really good at photography. Five Things A Photographer Should Never Do Never use the flash when taking indoor pictures- I have done this and did not realize that it is looked down upon in the photography world....oops  Never shoot into direct sunlight- Always results in blotches like these. Never cut people off at the joints- I do not usually take pictures of people but this is a big one when it comes to portraits. ex: she is cut off at the ankles Never take pictures if you are shaking really bad- A tripod is always a good idea if you struggle to hold steady. Never overthink it- Photography is fun, you don't have to try so hard to take a good picture! The List Post
