Weekend Photos!

This weekend I worked on my first project using a real camera! Our two assignments were to show movement, or lack of, as well as depth of field. I went to my hometown in Marshfield, MA for some great pictures. I originally wanted to focus on the farm and my horses for my pictures of movement, but decided to drive around on Saturday afternoon and find different inspiration. I went to the ocean in Duxbury MA, my favorite spot on the South Shore: the Powder Point Bridge. Because it was such a fabulous day many people were out driving around, biking, fishing, jogging and swimming at the ocean side. I took a few great photographs of an old woman driving around her old blue convert able. A car that looked like it must be from the '60s. She had a wicker hat on, and I got some shots of her driving her car along the ocean side. I hope they come out because I was really excited about them. I took them for a few of my motion subjects. I also took a few of my horses running around the paddocks at my house.

I hope that my photos came out okay. It takes practice getting used to using the aperture and the shutter speeds. I got them confused sometimes, and also tried not to get really technical. I got a few great shots of a really old man working his cranberry bogs down the street from my ho use. I tried to use depth of field in these photographs, but I'm unsure if it worked. I can't wait to develop them and see what came out, although I am really nervous that they will be blurry and dark! Tonight I will finally find out!
