Photo Assignment #5 AND.. The Market, Photo Outing and Puppy..

Okay.. Lots going into this post but I'll try and keep it short and sweet.

Photo Assignment #5 was to get a few great shots showing different aperture settings like an isolation shot, exploration and a depthless situation. I didn't find anything to photograph that was "depthless" so I sent in a photograph that I took for the Desktop background Assignment of a wood pile which I posted earlier here.

The isolation shot a submitted was one that I snagged while at the Market two weekends ago with my parents. I've always known this about myself but sometimes even I surprise myself with how excited I get sometimes over the weirdest things. Well I got very excited about seeing how Brussel sprouts grow for the first time. So I took a photo of it and since part of the photo is in sharp focus and the rest is blurred it is considered an isolation shot. Here it is..

The rest of the photos I submitted were taking on Jenna and I's little photo outing we went on that Monday night. We went first to this old building in Moncton that is well... not a building anymore and is covered in graffiti and No Trespassing signs. I still haven't figured out what the building used to be but I'm on a mission. Anyhow.. this is my exploration shot!

Another part of the assignment was to use Shutter Priority mode and get photographs while catching different amounts of motion. So taking one where the subject is completely frozen, one with a little bit of motion blur, and one with a lot. Well I didn't use this next photo but I want to give Jenna a shout out for her great cartwheel techniques : D

What I did use was a series of three photographs like the following which caught different amounts of blur by adjusting the shutter speed. Jenna was kicking her feet like a mad lady.

We were going all out.. laying on the ground and climbing on things. Whatever we had to do to get some good shots. This is Jenna taking some photos of my boots/socks. Love it.

Here's that photo! ALL credit goes to Jenna but I had to show it because she rocks... and so do my socks.

Now my parents just got a little puppy. She's the sibling to my sister and her husbands dog Sophie. They are Puggles, which is a Beagle-Pug mix. And I now find myself heading to my parents place at lunch to visit my dad and well... play with the puppy! After the market adventure that Saturday I tried to snap some pictures of Jazz (That's their puppy by the way) outside playing in the leaves and it proved much more difficult than I expected. She's a wild one.

I recognize that photo is completely blurred but doesn't she kind of look like Dumbo?!

She's teenie and adorable. That's my Mom! Later that afternoon we enjoyed a movie together. Love her to DEATH.
