This week was another struggle, lets just say that. Busy seems to be my middle name these days. With four softball games this week and practice every day its hard to find time that I can go out and take pictures. I can't exactly go out in the dark and that seems to be about the time I get home everyday. With the time change I hope that this will allow me more daylight hours to take photos.
I decide that I couldn't just not upload any progress photos for this week so I dug through my camera to find some old photos I had taken over the summer. You can find them in my gallery under Week 2 or over on my Instagram. I have quickly taken a liking to editing my pictures. I love to see the transformation of the beginnning to the end. There is something so satifiying to see a picture go from alright to actually high quality looking. The app that I am using to using to edit all my pictures is called Instasize. Another aspect of this project that I am struggling with is the use of a camera. When I am at my moms house I have one camera that is a later model at my disposal. The only problem with this camera is that it does not take as clear of photos as I would like since it is a later model. On the flip side of things I am able to use a nicer camera that my stepmom owns only at my dads house. Because of this I am trying to decide if I should just use my phone while I am at my moms house or stick with the old camera and just use the nicer camera at my dads house. Overall I'm am still very motivated to keep going strong though this project and seeing my process. I promise to ramp up my content soon!

This week did not go as planned lets just say that. I was excited to get out there and start taking pictures, and I thought it would be easy. But as usual life got in the way of that.
I thought that I would be able to get outside everyday after practice and take pictures of my surrounds or whatever caught my eye in the moment. But I got busy like usually and did not follow through with my goal. I got tired after practice and just wanted to go home, and not to mention that it was so cold. Too cold for me to want to be outside more than I had to. I still had zero photos to show for Week 1 of my Genius Hour. Its not like I was not looking for oppurtunitys to take candid photos. My eye for pretty picture locations was not working like it usually does. Of course my luck would run like that. Finally, after a week of non stop practices, school work, and projects. It was finally Satuday and I had nothing but time on my hands to go out and get some awesome photos (or so I thought). I convinced my sister into going into Mocksville with me and we set off. I was feeling so motivated, so confident. That all changed when I got out of the car. It felt like it had dropped 10 degrees and the wind was blowing oh so hard. Of course my sister took this as a opportunity to complain. But I pushed though all the negatives. Searching for picture locations that would look rustic and artsy. After some time walking I decided that I did not come at a good time of day. The lighting was all wrong. But I knew that today was my only chance to get photos. So I took some and prayed that editing would be enough to save them. To my surprising the editing part of the process was not as difficult as I had imagined. The only thing I had to figure out was how to get the photos from the camera, to the computer, to my phone then back to the computer. Overall I learned a ton this week. I learned that the time of day you take your pictures is very important. I also learned that you need to plan you photo locations. And most impotantly I learned how to transfer photos from camera to computer to my phone then back to the computer. |
