Dynamic

Yep, today I had a brief stint with HDR. I mean, how could anyone pass that opportunity up? Especially when standing in an auto shop full of amazing tire parts.

I didn't get to go to class today, which really made me sad, but it was still a decent day anyway. In fact, it was my mother's birthday! [Happy birthday, Mom. If ever you should see this blog again, be reminded that I love you.] But anyhow... on to the next photo.

The least tasty doughnut on the planet, HDR style.

And last but not least, the prettiest thing you'll ever see at an auto shop:

Background: black shadow on a black tile. I didn't black it out myself. No patience.

Diagonalomo

Today was my first class in Athens, OH. It was a long drive there and back (over 3 hours altogether), but the city was AMAZING and my B/W Photography class was great. I'm very excited about this particular class. As of tomorrow, I will (hopefully-- VERY hopefully since I'll need it the next day) own a Nikon 35 mm film camera. EEEE!

Okay, enough with the fangirl squealing. On to the photos!

The daily challenge was to make a photograph today with a diagonal line leading the viewer's eye through the composition. Since I was in such a beautiful city, I took photos there. And, being in a strange mood, I decided to try out a sort of vintage lomo look. This is what I got.

Technically, the challenge photo.

and my personal favorite of the day

I rather like the lomo look, but it's definitely not for everything. What do you think?
