This past two weeks, my photography class has been working on a photo journal. The first week, we had to previsualize the assignment, and the second was for actually shooting the event. My original plan was to photograph the riding lesson of one of the girls I sometimes ride with at my stable, but those plans fell through due to scheduling problems. Sooo, I was stuck at home, racking my brain for something interesting to do my journal on. Finally, as I was looking at the light emerging from our chicken coop one night, I had a brainstorm (hooray for brainstorms!) and settled on the idea of 'a day in the life of a chicken' for my photo journal. Our chickens' lives are very simple: they get let out in the morning, eat all day, and then go back to bed at night. This made the 4 picture requirement for the Journal much easier to meet :). For my first shot, I knew right off the bat that I wanted a picture of the coop the way it was when I first got my idea. To achieve this, I got up at 6:30 the following morning (for those of you who don't know me well, I'm a late sleeper) and went out in 8 degree weather (I'm also not good with cold) to take the shot. I experimented around with various shutter speeds, and also discovered that your tongue really will stick to metal if it's cold enough. Anyway, after shooting all day, I ended up with three pictures that I liked and one that I didn't really, but had to use anyway. Hopefully I make up for those points in creativity :)...
So, yeah. That's my photo journal :). What do you think?
Here are some other pictures I took from both this journal and another one that I started, but that wouldn't have turned out well:
