Here are some photos which I didnt use for my final presentation but I think they matches alright with the project.

5th shot_

After Im done with the first two objects, Xbox controller and the shot glasses, I chose toothbrush as my third object. In this 5th shot, I only take photos of the toothbrush, from different angles, with different types of lights, different backgrounds. In the end I came up with 2 ideas, using the back of the toothbrush as the bullet train and the head of the toothbrush as a jumping board.

3rd Shot_

This time, I did alot of shots mainly on the shot glasses. I tried to make them look like a landscape of cities or buildings but eventually I decided to make them look like towers. I can do that by stacking them up and show the light from underneath. I have been trying and playing around with these colourful shot glasses but I really like the “World Trade Centre” photo. After that, I tried to take photos of the xbox controller but it is really hard as it is too solid and does not have much form or shape on it. So, I have the idea of the planet at the back and using the red light. Hopefully it will work quite well.

2nd Shot_

I took photos of  my sunglasses and xbox controller in this 2nd shot. I am still uncertain of what objects to take photo of. I have been thinking how to to compose the objects into different forms.

Here are some initials shoots that I have taken. There are some photos I took of the shot glasses with overexposed background. The thing is everything is out of focus and there is nothing in focus so I need to take some more photos.

Another sets of photos I took are inspired by Mark Mawson,which he did a series called “Painting in water” (http://koikoikoi.com/2010/09/painting-in-water-by-mark-mawson/).   These photographs are done by dropping paint in a glass of water and take high speed photograph of it.

Precedent and inspiration:

Sian Bonnell is a UK based artist whose work has been exhibited and published. 

Here are two photos from the album GLOW (http://www.sianbonnell.com/work/photographs/gallery?func=detail&id=564)

For this project 3, I want to do something similar to this. I will take photos of shot glasses and try to picture them as buildings or towers. I will try to shoot in dark places and also an overexposed situation to compare which ones are better.

Another object for this project that I have chosen is the XBOX360 controller. I will try to take photos of it to make it looks like a spaceship/unknown flying object. Maybe with a red filter or bright light behind it to show a planet.

I havent chosen the 3rd object yet tho.

These are some of the photos taken by our group. I took the basketball one with a light behind it so it shows a really really bright light coming from behind.  I like both the green ones, they looked like an UFO/ spaceship in some ways.
