The Beginning.

Mr.Fisher gave us a photography assignment, which involved partners. As we were getting our partners, I was just sitting there. Dustin asked me if I had a partner. Of course, I said no. He asked me if I wanted to be partners with him. This was unexpected, but I had nobody else. I said that I would be partners with him. Then, Mr.Fisher said that we had to take some pictures, basically play time.

Play Time!!

Dustin and I took turns taking pictures. I had it one day and Dustin had it the next. Then one day, we went to the computer lab to edit our photos. Mr.Fisher said to explore using all different kinds of effects. Dustin and I, though, usually morphed our photos way too much. Days later, Mr.Fisher said that we had to focus on a theme. Play time was over.

What Was Our Theme?

We went through many changes with our theme. First our theme was nature. Then we found ourselves playing with the effects too much. That isn’t nature. So we decided to do an emotion. Our choices were between fear and anger. This was because we had a picture that suited fear and one that suited anger. We liked the one that suited anger more, but we didn’t know how to make the other ones like that. Then I thought, why don’t we do orange? I said that to Dustin and I’m pretty sure he loved it. So our theme was orange.

What Did We Do With the Photos?

None of our pictures were naturally orange, so we used effects to make them orange. We also used a lot of effects. Then, Mr.Fisher advised us to take pictures of things that are actually orange. So after school, I took pictures of things that are orange. At school the next day, we put them on the computer and worked on them. We thought we were done with our photos, and put them on a website called flickr. Flickr is a website where you can either put pictures on there or look at other peoples photos. Then, I decided I wanted to edit some of them the next day. So I did and them put them back on.

Today…

I went on flickr today. I looked at what our class put in. I also looked at my photos. When I looked at my photos, some of them just didn’t look right. So, I deleted them. Then, to get it over with, I named them. They are pretty lame names, so they will probably be changed. For example, there is “Stand Out” and “Pottery Clay”. As I was naming them, I slowly realized that these pictures didn’t look real. I knew this was because we put way too many effects on these photographs. To take advantage of this, I changed the theme to orange fiction. The official theme, I can finally say, is “Orange Fiction”. Then, I looked at the other peoples photographs again because I had nothing else to do.

What’s Left?

All that’s left of this photography assignment is to describe our photographs. Yes, we’re almost done. I can’t wait ’till we are done with this photography assignment. This means we are going to do more fun things with Mr.Fisher!!
