Student in quiet contemplation of his material (more like frustrated absorption, but it doesn’t sound as good)

I am attempting to do some experimenting in this project, since anyone can decide to do the easy shots and post them. I have been working with various arrangements of the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO [sensitivity]) to attempt to get the best possible astrophotograph. It is worth visiting the Flickr page for the image (click the image) to see the notes left on the image by astrometry.net‘s robot.

Steel mesh covering wires and tubes. What is it?

I feel like I’m doing too much on black lately. Too many dark images. This is a fairly simple shot, just a simple pose on a black backdrop. This image would cover the category of personal goals for myself. I want to take this image from the depressing flabby white flesh that it is and turn it into something rock hard and maybe tan (likely to happen, since if I’m toned, I’ll wear appropriate shirts).

Two security officers on the UNC Charlotte campus take the state and national flags from their mast and fold them. Today was a quite dim and dreary day, cloudy with a mist of rain in the air.

I wasn’t directly in a photographic mood today. The clouds and overall feeling of the day left me in kind of a 17% gray kind of mood. The only thing that inspired me at all today was the sky, and that was a long shot. I’m hoping tomorrow is better.

These chrysanthemums are such a wonderful shade of pink, unfortunately, I had great difficulty getting them to come out just right in a photo. I have fought with myself over which image should be day 9 in my Project 365, so I finally decided to remain “artistically” indecisive and combine the two.

Not quite the normal level of interest for a daily photo, but I realized that I have never really taken a photo of my model locomotive before.

Working with some new backgrounds, trying some remote lighting and some other fun stuff. I really had nothing originally for day 7, so I decided to try something to salvage the day, otherwise, it was a picture of a box (its in the photostream if you are bored). I took this photo based on something my Drawing II instructor said. She eluded to using something unique, but yet universal as a basis for a work when inspiration is limited. From that, I present, my pen cup.
