"Indoor Challenge I"

According to my local weather forecasters, we are in for quite a Nor'easter starting Tuesday and ending sometime on Wednesday. So I figured you might want to spend some quality time indoors with your camera.

Are you ready? So, walk around your humble abode and select a room to photograph TWENTY-FIVE images. Here’s the challenge, you must stand in the same spot for ALL twenty-five. You can use flash, vary the focal length, change lenses as long as you are in the same spot in that one room.

Now, let’s download them and see what we have. I’m guessing you are seeing that room in a totally different light (no pun intended). Perhaps, your change in focal lengths has opened up areas and objects that were there but you didn’t notice as much. Which focal length gave you the best image? Check the meta data for these images. Which appear to be out of focus – check the shutter speed (fraction of 1/xxx)? Can you crop any of these tighter to give almost a macro look to them?

Send me a couple of your best (use the same sizing as we do for Image Study). Give me a brief description of why you chose these along with that all-important meta data.

When the storm is winding down and before you head back outside, refer back to Posting Six - "Snow and Your Camera."
