Blur

I liked this project. I had some technical difficulties, so I had to scramble to take a whole roll of pictures in time, (which I managed to do in about an hour, thank you very much), but my mom was a willing subject.
Here's my mom lifting up a delicata squash. We grew these in our garden this year; but they weren't a big hit, so we still have some. This is an example of panning, because the squash is relatively still but the background is blurry.

This is my mom tapping her foot. Self-explanatory, I think.

I love this picture. It's my mom (of course) putting away a can of chili, but what I love it how you can read the words on the can. I find it humorous, especially because no one in our house likes chili.

My mom was making dinner when I took all these pictures, so it makes sense that this one is of her peeling carrots. I tried to pan it, but it didn't turn out perfectly.

Here's one of my attempts at panning. It's just my mom walking. She's in so many of my pictures, I should give her an award.

Can you guess who's hand this is? This is an example of normal blurring because the plate in the background is completely still, but her hand and the sponge are blurry.

This is my kitchen sink. It sort of fits as a blur photo, but Hohman said it would have worked better if the water was more spread out, like in a waterfall or a pond.

Multiple Exposure

Sorry Mr. Hohman, but I really did not like this project. We were supposed to set our camera's ISO to 800, and then we could essentially take 48 pictures instead of our normal 24 by rewinding the film at the end of the first 24, and then taking another set of pictures over them. I set my camera's ISO to 800, but for some reason the second pictures didn't come out on all of them. They came out faintly on some of the images, but not all. Grrr...

Alright, this is my mom. What was supposed to happen was that the left side of her face would be smiling, and the right side be frowning, (like that drama face). As you can see, that didn't work out so well.

In this one, there was supposed to be an up-close and blurry shot of the slinky, while the one in the back remained smaller and in focus. It sort of worked out, but not really.

These are my shoes, and the second picture was supposed to be my socks in the same place as the empty shoes. My socks were striped, and you can almost see them here.
