Assignment #1

unedited







edited





































horrifically ugly













My dad has a stuffed platypus covered in kangaroo skin from Australia, so to get a more interesting shot than just a platypus, I smeared some peanut butter on the floor to get my dog to come sniff around it.You can't really tell what the platypus is in the shot I chose, but its framing/focus/exposure was the best, and it's almost more interesting because you're not really sure what the fuzzy lump getting sniffed is. 

I shot all of these on P and wish I'd been on M, because my pictures had some problems, but the subject material was mostly things I happened across and can't repeat now. I learned that underexposing my pictures by a third or two-thirds of a stop can make it a pain to edit them the way you suggested in class. I also learned that I adore Lightroom and a good step-by-step process for editing. 

A haiku?
