This week's assignment is all about documenting the ordinary things we see everyday. Click here for the full PDF of the lesson.
The idea is to learn to recognize photo-worthy parts of our everyday lives. You don't have to go out to fancy places to capture wonderful shots. (This idea is also behind the 365 challenge - taking a photo everyday for a year - which I also did as part of my 101 goals.)
The Assignment
This week's assignment was a fun one: photograph your daily environment. I started out with the intention to photograph even the mundane parts of my day, and to maybe even get in a couple self-portraits along the way, but that quickly degenerated into just taking photos of the dogs throughout the day...
 |
| This is a pretty accurate depiction of how the dogs are every morning. They are not early risers. |
 |
| Gummy vitamins! They are really good... |
 |
| It was such a pretty day when I was doing this assignment. |
 |
| Gotta get those netflix movies mailed out! |
 |
| I love Nemo's little bat-ears. |
 |
| Heidi and Nemo snuggling. Her leg thrown over him cracks me up. |
 |
| Melanie catching some shut-eye. |
 |
| Nemo doing his Elvis impression. |
 |
| Sleepy Heidi. |
 |
| Nemo making it clear that he'd like to go outside right now, thankyouverymuch. |
 |
| Heidi will squeeze into any available space, no matter how small, if it means she can get a little closer to you. |
 |
| Heidi's favorite pillow? Melanie. |
 |
| Nemo giving paw. |
 |
| Sunbathing seniors. Maybe this spot by the window is their idea of moving to Florida? |
 |
| By the end of the day, Nemo's ready to go back to bed. |
What I Learned
The everyday moments are the ones worth capturing the most.
Still following along? (Kyria, you know I'm talking to you!)
Coming up next week: Camera Accessories! It's the final week of the course!
Even though I am not able to actually do the 12 week tutorial with you, I sure do enjoy seeing the photos you take each week! Your dogs make quite the adorable models!
ReplyDeleteLove all the doggie pics. They are such sweeties. I especially love Nemo's Elvis impression. We call that the "snaggle tooth" in our house :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still here! I love all your photos of the pups! Also, I use the same vitamins as you do! It's like candy, but good for you. Ha.
ReplyDeleteI actually learned a lot about "my daily environment" while attempting a 365 project. It really is neat to try to capture what is around you, instead of always thinking that a photo has to be something extravagant. It's the little things that count! It's nice to re-realize that from time to time.
I LOVE these photos!
ReplyDeleteI so wish my dogs cuddled... I think I say that every time you get super adorable cuddling pictures of your bunch!
ReplyDeleteI haven't posted every assignment, but I have been greatly enjoying this photography series.
beautiful pictures!! Sometimes in our busy everyday routines, we forget to stop and appreciate the beauty that is around us! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny when we really notice all the things we take for granted. And that Nemo is so photogenic!
ReplyDeleteHeidi really just fits so perfectly in your home
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I just adore Nemo! :)
