Half term

Half term...

Over the half term week I have been doing the project Sense for the fujifilm compition I spoke about in my earlier post.
I decided that I was going to use a fujifilm compact camera that I went out and bought. I decided to use this because of the quality of prints I would get when I take the pictures.
I thought about how I would be able to take the pictures, I had an idea of somehow tying it on to his collar and letting him run around with it , but then I wouldnt be able to take any pictures at all so I decided that I would just get down to his eye level.
I started off by looking at things near my grandparents front door , such as the letter box and the stairs , however I decided that these pictures may not be the best once they were printed so I didn't spent that much time in this area.
Whilst looking very strange to the rest of my family I decided to look what it would be like to be his size and not able to move anything at all. And life got very complicated. You never realise what a dog has to go through  because we don't think about things that are in the way such as tables and chair legs.
I carried on looking through the house and what he must look at. I wanted to get what seems important to him in his life , like eating and trying to rip the postmans hands off.
Once I had my take all my images I went and got them developed and a disk made.
Below are my printed images.
This is an image of my letter box with the paper in , I was at the level of the letter box to represent my dogs point of view.
Above is my favourite image out of this shoot. It is my favourite image because of the lack of focus. I like how people do not know at first what it is.I also like the repitition of the dog food in his bowl.
Overall, I have enjoy this project , I have found looking at my dogs point of view interesting and it is something I would like to continue doing.
However , I would , if I could retake the images so that they are all out of focus and it flows better.
