Alex's Wonders

                       Welcome back! I'm glad you can make it in for another one of my blogs. Today I have a little special one cooked up today and it starts with our third week of creativity exercises. And today's exercise might elevate your artistic skills just a tad or may not.. But regardless were gonna have fun with it.][     This week I thought about some of the more fun creativity exercises and decided to search the web to see what I could get in store for myself. And I landed on a fun creativity exercise that I wanted to work on for myself and hopefully for you guys as well! Well to begin with exercise itself, it require at least two people to do the exercise, a couple sheets of paper, and some pencils to draw with.     You begin with one person on one side with a blindfold and their piece of paper and the other person has the same. You have 15 seconds to take a good look at each ...

            Hello all, and welcome back! To the first blog of the new week this week has a lot in store for me today. To kind of sum up what has happened so far I have gone through the basics of photography and the starting do's and dont's when it comes to photography. While smoothly coasting along the photography world I started to learn all about Lightroom Classic and its array of amazing features and gifts that it would give me. While at first I was a bit confused about the whole application and what to do I put in the hours to give it a chance and learn what to do in the application and what it can do for my photographs from then to now. While it did take a while to get the hang of Lightroom I started to gain knowledge about the rules of composition in photography and how it can level up my image-taking tenfold for the inevitable future. And so we time skip to now.           While these past two weeks ha...

      Welcome Back! I'm ever so grateful to see you again, and boy do I have a blog for you today. Today's blog is about my color story project what I like to call it. Today's project was to do a series of shoots all conducted around the basis of (Color). What today's project required me to do today was to try and come up with a piece directed around color that can also depict a story or message behind the piece.               This project was one of the harder ones to shoot. With this week being interesting and eventful I was sucked dry out of my creative juices. BUT! I  did not let that stop me and started to get on this project right away!             To begin this little journey to find the best format to go around for this certain project I wanted to choose what type of message or story I  generally wanted to go for. And with a lot of thoughts in my mind, I  ...

                  Welcome again to my blog! Today's blog is something special and very different from the rest. Today's blog is a story-told project, and what I mean by that is that the piece that I have worked on today has gone through a ton of revision and different ideas to get to its final result. You will see in a moment that we have put a day's work into a beautiful piece.         This project was centered on creating and perfecting an image that, upon a gaze, may tell a story. What story it may tell is up to the onlooker.           This image was taken out of the 50 we took that night and was some of the best work from that night. I am most proud of this image and the work I put into making the image look how it does now. And beginning on that base is how the image first started. With the raw import being a lot lighter than I would want it to be I wanted to bring the...

                       Welcome once again! Today's blog is one for the books for sure. It has been an interesting week for sure, with all that happened this week there has been some moments where I got to explore the world of composition and the great features that light room has to hold. And I would love to show you all that I had worked on so far and with enough introductions, my first project I decided to go for was Format.                       My experience with format was a small step into this project, but I would soon realize there was a lot to hold with this assignment. At first I worked around the factors of figuring out angles for this certain image. I would start to look at different objects I had at my disposal, while reminding myself about the teachings of the first week. in Which I took this image.        This imag...

                       Hello everyone! And welcome again to my blog. Today's blog post will be on my journey with creativity exercises and showing you how you can do them and what they teach. My research today was a interesting one to say the least. My research today was about the "Incomplete Figure Test"  Created by Ellis Paul Torrance in the sixties as way to create a more creatively inclined IQ test. This test was given to many volunteers and were ask to finish different figure sketches like the many below. And they were tasked to create different complete images out of them.                                                                              ...

                Welcome again everyone! To my little blog about all my adventures in photography. Today marks the day that Week 2 starts, and I am ever so excited to start this week off. And with what? Ill get right into it! This week I will be learning about the specialties about composition and diving more in depth with Adobe Lightroom Classic and all its amazing features.     This week has a lot to hold for me excluding the fact there's a hurricane on the way. But that is besides the point and I will not let that hold me down, but for the most part I am very excited to get started with this week and dive into the world of composition and angles. I've always wondered how it is done and now I'm finally gonna learn how it is done, so I can not wait! And after I am done writing this blog I will love to show my collection of photographs of the week when it is done. This blog is very short, but I will have lots to show throug...
