Day 36: Airport
We didn't have much to say about this frame, other than that it was a success.
When: 26 April, 5:29 p.m.
Where: Miami International Airport
Exposure: F3.3, 1/320, ISO80
Inner Thoughts: Yes, you've seen this composition before, graphic element, reflection, plus a person. But, this is what airports look like to me: people carrying bags hurriedly walking past windows.
Day 37: Problem Tree
The original frame I sent had a glaring problem: A tree sharply in focus in a distracting block of light between two boys sitting on a stoop. Cropping the frame down to just one of the boys eliminated the problem and revealed something interest about his expression and the distorted perspective of his hands.
When: 27 April, 5:24 p.m.
Where: 13th and Meridian, South Beach
Exposure: F3.3, 1/200, ISO80
Inner Thoughts: Can I at least get credit for trying? How is that I miss the giant block of light in the background every single time? #annoyed
Day 38: Dryers
After awhile, the machines start to look a little alive, like one dryer is trying to block the other.
When: 28 April, 6:47 p.m.
Where: laundry room, South Beach
Exposure: F3.3, 1/100, ISO800
Inner Thoughts: I fall back on the familiar when I'm still frustrated about the frame that I didn't get right the day before.
Day 39: Luke on camera
Again, relying on a crop to highlight what's interesting in the frame. I just didn't have the right angle or height to get the shot I intended to.
When: 29 April, 3:58 p.m.
Where: Liberty City youth center. Miami-Dade mayoral candidate Luther "Luke" Campbell poses for cell phone pictures with staff and teens.
Exposure: F3.4, 1/125, ISO1600
Inner Thoughts: I was thinking about a photo Evan Vucci recently moved on AP wires from a presidential news conference, in which he captured an image of Obama at the podium in the screen of someone holding up a cell phone. It was an interesting picture for a routine political event, and I wanted to capture something similar.
