This semester I've been moonlighting at Hardin Simmons taking an Art Photography class (since ACU doesn't exactly have a wide variety of photography classes, although they do offer a PHOTOjournalism degree...but I'm not bitter). We've had four assignments so far, this is the fourth one. Our mission was to capture motion in three related images. Yep. That's it. So since the only readilly available models I have these days are me and my husband (sniff sniff, no more pictures of Kalyn and Tony!), poor Eric got dragged to Hardin Simmons for yet another photo shoot.
Two interesting things to know about these images:
1. They were shot using the interval timer on my Nikon D2x. The camera actually records up to 9 consecutive shots all by its little self--after you set up the shot, of course--at any interval you wish. I then picked the ones I liked and erased them into one image using Photoshop and a whole bunch of layers.
2. The other requirement for these images was the size...9x7. Which is, of course, a crazy uncommon size and I had to photoshop the borders in order to make the image 8x10 so that it would go through the Wal-mart 1 hour without a stupid crop (where they gave me a horrible printing job...that border is the exact same color in photoshop! I printed six images from Wal-mart and got six DIFFERENT colored borders!). So THAT's how you fox Walmart...if you can stomach their color correction process. Humph!
