Objects: Adventure
For my object pictures, I took photographs of lego minifigures. I took my pictures as if they were portraits of the individual characters. The four figures I had were an admiral, an Indiana Jones like explorer, an astronaut, and a rebel from the original Starwars trilogy. I enjoyed taking portraits of the minifigures, because it brought back memories of spending hours on end playing with lego. I didn’t have a very hard time taking my photos, but I still ran into some problems. One problem I had was that lego minifigures are shiny, this caused the flash from my camera to reflect right back into the lense. I solved this problem by angling the camera and the minifigure so that the lense reflected away from the camera. Another more minor problem I ran into was getting my camera to focus on the figures because, they are so small. I simply adjusted my distance from the subject to solve this problem. I think a major triumph I made was making the images seem personal, like a portrait.
