Roll 4

Technically after midnight, but I am still on college time, so it doesn't count.

ARTS 2110 - Roll 4 - Either Fuji Acros 100 or Ilford HP5+ 400... I'll check

Long exposure set on the table. Others in class found it flat and lacking contrast (i.e. the lighting is boring) which is true, but that was my intention... I was drawing form some work we went over in class. It's all right but admittedly not that interesting. I should've made it flatter, maybe, if that was the goal. That clock is huge! (Observatory Hill Dining Hall)
1/15 f/2.8 My hand slipped

Dirt. Pam (my photo teacher this semester) said that she had a friend who took exclusively photos of dirt, because dust spots don't show up against it. This was in my final portfolio. TLR enabled me to shoot straight down without getting my feet in frame.
1/125 f/4

Looking up a tree. Close to the dirt.
1/60 f/8 Focused on base of big branch

Weird canyon between Clemons and Alderman.
1/60 f/8

This wall is a favorite and recurring subject in my photography. Near Brown Residential College.
1/125 f/4

Mystery stairs. I later went down... locked doors and graffiti cursing the people who locked the doors. Near Math Department.
1sec f/16 Tripod+Cable release

This was incredibly dusty. I printed it for a critique, but didn't use it in my final portfolio. Ultimately just okay.
1/60 f/2.8

A theme emerges: pastoral scenes with industrial objects in them. Also near Math.
1/8 f/22 Tripod+Cable release

Crop in on an exposure of a squirrel. Stopping motion, or something? Right after I took this, I saw a butterfly that actually held still, and I was about to take its picture until I realized it was being swarmed by ants and couldn't escape. I blew on it to dislodge it and saved its life instead.
1/250 f/2.8

I took this one upside down, which is possible to do with a waist level finder (and pointless with a prism finder) which gets you a higher angle at the expense of making it really difficult to control where the camera is pointing and hold it still.
1/125 f/4

I asked if I could use this as "stopping motion" even though it was a lie. Pam asked what I meant, and I said that it was parked, though you couldn't tell in this shot. Pam replied, "Well no, not since you told me!"
1/125 f/4

This is a blatant effort to finish the roll, a macro of my carpet. The C330F can focus really close. A future shot will echo this one, but in general it is pretty boring.
1/4 f/2.8 Tripod
