Photo Activity a wheee

A whee time to play with your cameras again!

For this activity, I want you to take a photo from your doorway. The photo can be of anything you like - the ground, your feet, the incredible view from your porch, or the horrible mess you keep inside. You're allowed to use any doorway you frequent, and you can lean in or out as much as you like, as long as both feet stay firmly planted under the door frame.

Use every photograpic skill you've learned. Interesting composition is a must, as is proper adjustment of all the knobs and levers that make your camera go. Do what you can with the lighting at hand, though I don't expect anything fancy. The real point of this activity (and I hope I don't ruin it by telling you up front) is to train your eye to always be searching for good subject matter. There's nothing you tune out better than objects you pass every day. If you can make a good photo out of your immediate surroundings, you can make a good photo out of anything!

I haven't gotten my enteries as of yet, but they are coming.

Now get snappin'.

My old university dorm room.

Standing just inside the doorway and pointing the camera at the other window. The room was cropped out.

First picture: Taken from the doorway into my apartment. Couldn't think of anything else, so threw my backpack into the frame.
