10 Original Images vs. 10 New Ones -- My Thoughts


My two experiences for taking pictures varied greatly between the first and second times. The first round of pictures involved just taking pictures of things that interested me around campus, such as the architecture and nature. I didn’t have a specific goal or idea, I just took pictures of subjects that I thought were interesting to me. The second time around, I tried to keep some of the same subjects, but I had to switch it up in order to satisfy the need for different “images” with different characteristics. I still looked for buildings as my main target though, because they interest me.
I liked the second process more because it challenged me to think harder and try and find subjects that fit in with the characteristics I needed, while allowing me to be creative, such as with my ant view shot, which came out great on the second try.
            My favorite images the definitely the most creative ones I took. The bird’s eye view is very cool to me because it actually looks like it was taken at the top of a building, and shows much of the surrounding area, including Columbus’s towering business buildings. My second favorite is the ant view, just because of how well it turned out, it actually looks as if the camera is about to be smashed. My symmetrical picture of the old union also is a favorite because I didn’t even intend for it to be my symmetrical picture, I was just taking random photos of the buildings and it ended up being almost exactly straight down the middle. A result I ended up liking.
