For my project on Saturday, I wanted to focus on lines, particularly taking images of the corners of building, and trying to get the Downtown Olympia feel. I also wanted to try a slow shutter speed image to get motion blur from objects in the image. I picked this particular bluilding because of the the asymmetry (the contrast between light and dark sides of the building, but otherwise the almost the same). By bringing the corner of the building off center and tilting it, gave the building more emphisis in the picture. The motion blur comes from the pedestrian crossing the street, which adds a little more walk around feel of Downtown (wish there were larger amounts of pedestrians). I also like the white VW bus parked in front of the Urban Onion.


Rules Broken: Keep the camera level with the horizon. Always shoot with everything tack sharp.

I did a vintage processing on the image, just to see how it would change the mood.
