Color Me Bad

by Rachel

This week our assignment was a color theme. "A great way to increase your appreciation of colour and also improve your eye for a picture is by shooting sets of images that make use of a single colour." (Lee Frost, 50 Photo Projects - Ideas to Kickstart Your Photography). We were to pick a color and capture it where ever we found it. This is my collection of pictures for the color theme assignment (I had more time so I did 3 different color themes):

This is my first attempt for our first assignment. Not great but was fun and learned a lot.

My second attempt at a flipbook.

Digital Flipbooks

by Rachel Mayne

This week our task was to create a digital flipbook by taking a progression pictures and stringing them together in a video. The pictures aren't great photographic work in and of themselves but the videos turned out pretty cool, in my opinion. I took all the pictures with my Canon EOS Rebel T3 and strung them together in Windows Movie Maker.

A Watched Pot- I thought it would be cool to actually watch a pot of water come to a boil. I put a pot of water on a hot plate turned it on high. I started out taking a picture every 30 seconds but after little activity I decided to take a picture every 2 minutes. It turns out that the old adage is true - a watched pot never boils. I sat there for about 45 minutes trying to capture a pot of boiling water and I never did get it to a rolling boil... probably due to using a hot plate instead of a stove top. Still the flipbook turned out kinda cool:

An Apple a Day- This project started with the idea of using an apple. With my resources low staying in a hotel, I decided to try the apple. It tuned out better than I expected:

Sunset- Next I decided to try capturing an entire sunset. I set out with my camera and tripod 2 hours before sunset. I took a picture every 3-5 minutes. The sun was scheduled to set at 9:22 and around 10, although the sun had set, there was still some light in the sky. However it was starting to get chilly and I hadn't eaten dinner yet so I decided to call it a night. The video takes a while to catch its stride since the sun is still relatively high in the sky. But once it does it looks awesome! The clouds make the video what it is:

How Many Licks Does it Take?- I decided to try to answer the old question 'how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?' and capture it with my camera. This turned out to be my favorite flipbook. Instead of lick-by-lick I decided to keep the sucker in my mouth for about 30 seconds before I took each picture. Based on that techinique my answer to the age-old question is 19:
