Today was interesting. This afternoon I wanted to go and shoot some traffic while experimenting with the blur that you see in magazines. Well I waited until after school was out to go and sit by the school because I could see from both directions and there wasn’t any vehicles parked on the sides of the road. Well, someone complained that I was photographing children even though there was no children anywhere to be seen. After I had a talk with the officer that decided to come over and investigate me I continued to shoot. Then a little later a high schooler comes in a car and tries to confront me about what I was doing. He then proceeded to tell me that his photo “better not be on the internet” and then I asked him if he was trying to threaten me, he said no and then drove away after a second saying about “it better not be on the internet.” So my experiment turned out to be a little more interesting than I wanted it to originally.
I think that the photos that I got turned out ok, I can tell that I need to get more practice at doing this in the future. I would like to get a person to drive around a parking lot and let me experiment with flash and a few other things. I will have to see about that in the future.
