For this assignment I chose to do light painting.  I learned that it takes a long time to set up and you have to be careful with a tripod and it takes a lot of planning to get a good picture.  My mom lost the tripod and I ended up having to strap the camera to the tripod with extra straps for a different camera.

Animal Assignment

For this assignment I decided to shoot pictures of my cats.  I choose this because my cats had gotten some fresh catnip and were acting crazy.  I learned that you have to be really fast to catch the photo that you want because they are going to move as soon as they catch the camera looking at them.
