March

There are just so many things that I have been doing for the last two months. First of all I did some studio works. Taking photos of an object made of glass and something shiny. This was a bit hard to make, The glass with the butterfly's I had to almost build a box around it with black walls. I had it on top of a see through pane and below I had one studio flash to shoot through. It was a bit tricky but in the end it worked. The I took a photo of the shiny object. I wish I could have done it bater but this is what I got.

After the shiny project we were told that we had to make up a project by our self but that was not entirely true because the teacher already decided the theme for us and it had to be connected to the 18th century. I decided to take photos of food here in Iceland because in February most Icelanders eat traditional food. Most people that saw the photos thought they were disgusting but only because the food looks bad, but this is just how the food looks. I had it on a white plexiglass and shot through it with a studio light I had as well a light with honey comb from the side. I enjoyed shooting project and I realized its not that bad takeing photos of food because the food just stays still and I can move it around as much as I can. It was also not so hard to work with this food because it can and is often served cold and sour. We had an exhibition in the oldest house in Reykjavik me and the rest of the class where we showed our photos from this project. The first one is sheep's head and many Icelanders like it. The second one is dry fish its one of the best traditional food you can get and most people serve it with butter. The third one is kind of like haggis but I think it came here when the vikings got slaves from Scotland and brought to Iceland, its one of my favorite food. The fourth one is sour sheep legs, I don't know why people eat that but its my grandfathers favorite food, he would eat it every day if he could

One night me and some friends went out to take photos of the auroras because we saw on the internet that there would be a lot of auroras that night. When we finally saw the auroras it was so amazing and I could not stop staring at them. I tried to take some photos but I am not happy enough with them but we drove further from the city and we found a lighthouse that we tough might look good in a photo with auroras but the auroras were not as beautiful as before but this is my outcome. I clearly have to practice more taking photos of auroras and I have to get a bater lens as well.

This is it for now but I might post something more soon. I have to be more active here and post some more of my works.
