Topic 1:

I love this photo because it makes Frisbee look so intense. It is a good action shot and the focus is good as well, which from my experience can be very difficult when it comes to people moving around, even if they move slowly.

Here are some questions I have:
How does one go about photographing a marathon? Do you stake out an area and wait?
How conscious does someone need to be on the sideline during a competitive event?
What sport/event is most challenging to photograph?


Topic 2:
For my neighborhood assignment I did the Lindenwood apartment complex next door to the school. It wasn't my first choice, but my other topic didn't pan out.

My biggest challenge was finding people who were willing to talk to me and get a picture. College students are shy, who knew.

I think the environmental portrait turned out great. He has a great expressions, the lighting seemed good, and it is more interesting than the others. I managed to catch him right before his shift ended.

If I had to do this assignment over i would get more pictures with people in them and people doing things. I would also try to find a more interesting area like downtown Albany or Corvallis.
