Stop and Go

This is my still life and movement project. Take a look.

{From the Same Plant}

Taken in my kitchen. This is my still life. It's of an apple and a pencil, who both were birthed from a tree. 

{Watering Can}

Taken in my backyard. This was a movement shot. 

{Dance Class}

Taken at the Enlight Ballroom Studio. This is my action shot of my pre-teen team dancing waltz with each other. 

Lighting and Co.

This project was on lighting. I took an example of a good use of light and a bad one. Then I took a picture of the same haunted house at different times of the day to see how the sun affects my photos. The results were quite interesting.

Experiment One: Good Lighting (Titled "The First Rays of Spring") Taken in my backyard.

Experiment Two: Bad Lighting (Titled "Sitting Ducks") Taken on an old Mendon Road. 

Experiment Three: Three Times of Day (Titled "Haunted Trio") Taken at the haunted house across the street.

The Best Pictures Ever

{Troll in the Lego Dungeon} 

My brother was cleaning up his legos and he through the troll in and I said, "Troll in the dungeon!" So I decided to take a picture of it. Excellent faming, eh? :) 

{Kitty's View}

I was playing with my cat and decided to take a picture of her point of view on the neighborhood. I love the colors and the background. 

{Silver Lining}

I love the colors in this one. It's almost monochrome but there is the blue sky and the light of the clouds. There really are silver linings! 

Framing and Viewpoint

{Fenced In}

This is my framing experiment. I took this picture of my chickens in my backyard through the chicken wire to emphasize their lack of escape.  

{Finger Dance Floor}

I spend hours and hours a day on my computer making my fingers dance and prance around these beautiful white keys. Just like I spend hours and hours a day practicing ballroom dance. 

 {Power Button}

I really like this perspective on the power button on my remote because all of a sudden it seems that with one click you will have all the power in the world. 

Patterns and Backgroun

{Swirly Straws}

Taken in my kitchen, this photo portrays the use of patterns. I used gray and white paper straws to get this effect. 

{Bad Background}

Pretty much self-explanatory. This picture doesn't have a good background because of the frame in the back and the lines coming from the ceiling and walls. 

{Excellent Background} 

I really like this background because it hardly exists! Baha. I enjoy how the plain color brings me out in this selfie. 

Leading Lines and Symmetry

{Lonely Breakfast}

Symmetry in patterns here (obviously also some asymmetry). The eggs might not be lonely, but the person who only had to make one fried egg is. I especially like how the rule of thirds played out in this one. (Taken in the kitchen.)

{Not Enough Juice}

I like to think there were eight people trying to suck the juice out of this grape, but it didn't have enough for everyone. I distressed the colors so we could get the feel of neediness of the drinkers and pain from the grape (now a raisin) here. (Taken in the kitchen.)

{Self Portrait}

Now I know this isn't actually a picture of me. But your eyes see "Smith" and "M" pretty dominantly, which is my name (Morynn Smith). I used asymmetry and rule of thirds (vertically) here. 

Colors and Rules of Thirds

{Deliciously Different}

The picture uses color to draw your eyes immediately to the red straw. But what I also found interesting is that the red straw is just slightly spiraled differently than the gray ones. I found these straws in my kitchen, also where the photo was taken.

{Not All Old Things Are Colorless}

 My next picture is of my typewriter in my room. I used the rule of thirds for this one. It's slightly crooked but I left it that way because it gives it an extra antique-y feel. 

{Bird in the Wire}
This picture is of the glittery bird in a cage in my room. I liked how your attention is drawn immediately to the bird, but then you notice other things like the color of the cage and the grass underneath it. Rule of thirds is also applied here.
