Homework

The only time in a day full of appointments I could make a visit to the farm was late morning. I wanted to take a picture of the bee boxes to see if they might be a fitting subject for the assignment, Seasonal Shift, for my online class, Stillness of Summer with Paul Sanders. The idea being that we students would return to the same spot each week over the next 2 months and photograph it as a record of season passing through us. By September we will have a set of similar pictures, but we will also have a record of how the light, the weather, and even our own feelings and mood have changed. I think this scene might work.

Weather: Hazy, Hot and Humid (almost unbearable). Sunny.

Time of day: 10:30 am

Notes: I used my digital camera and 85mm lens. It might be fun to try a longer focal length and shallower depth of field. It was so bright today, I had to guess at all the settings and hope for the best.
