Assignment 2 Improved Again

There wasn't enough variation in my previous version, as the background of some photos were similar (e.g. making the bed in the bedroom and throwing the jacket on the bed). Hence I re-took some photos to show different backgrounds.

Here're the photos I decided to use from the previous version.



I decided on the coffee photo as it shows the context better (i.e. it's clearer the photo was taken in the kitchen. Next are the photos I re-took.


Instead of throwing the jacket on the bed, I thought I can pick up my shoes from the shoe rack and throw them on the floor (before I wear them and leave the house). The throwing action can then provide an opportunity for freeze action. The background will be more different from the other photos too.

I had to try a few camera settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) before I could get the exposure I want. This was because the lighting conditions were rather dark. I also couldn't take the photo from the side (instead of top down) as there will be backlight from the balcony or from the front of my house. This was the best shot I got, but like some of the previous photos, the shoes are slightly blur. Nevertheless, I hope they convey a sense of motion and make the photo (as well as the mundane activity of wearing shoes) more interesting.

This photo does not have to come at the end of the series and make the series sequential. Since my theme is everyday life, which is not limited to mornings, this photo can come after or before the next: I can check Facebook before I go out, or after I come home. I can even make myself coffee after I come home. The making bed photo can come after the coffee or Facebook photo too, as some people may make their beds after they had breakfast, just before they change and leave the house.


I re-took this photo because the context wasn't obvious in the previous one. I actually took that in the living room too. This photo, however, shows more of the sofa and even some parts of the balcony, which makes it look more different than the others.
