Homework

[hellziggy]

My next photo assignment consists of two photos. One of something good. One of something bad. The photo itself should convey the feeling rather than your experience. For example, I would look at a photo of Lump and it would automatically make me feel good while to someone who doesn't know her, it would just be any other cat.
I'm just drawing blanks on what to shoot for this one. Any ideas?

...food?

at least it's for a picture of something good, and not a picture of Good.

gunthar suggests you might get a picture of your cat doing something destructive, but with the name Lump, he's reconsidering the idea...

Personally, I don't think he knows cats very well if he thinks we can ever catch them actually doing anything. : )

I'm not sure this would work--and you'd need a tripod, but:

Good:
Photo of someone standing on a quiet residential street, obviously out enjoying a walk on a fine spring day. They have paused a moment to close their eyes, raise their arms and take a huge breath of fresh air.

Bad:
The camera stays in the same spot on it's tripod. The person likewise doesn't move their feet. Slowly drive a car so that the bumper just touches the person--close enough to lean forward over the hood. Set the apature to about half and the shutter speed to about a second or two. Trip the sutter and have the driver back up out of frame as the pedestrian stands up straight and resumes their previous posistion. With a little luck, it'll look as if you've caught a car accident at the moment of impact.

Oooh. Cool idea. I might have to try it if my dead squirrel doesn't come out good enough.
