Shooting Wide

With this assignment I wanted to go over and shoot the progress of the new student housing. I saw a few people already take pictures of the construction but I wanted to show my perception on how I would shoot it. I love shooting with my wide angle lens. I have a fixed 14mm Rokinon and it shoots very sharp, I mainly use it for star pictures and night photography. One thing about this lens is the focus is manual and the aperture in on the lens itself, so you have to play with the lens before you go out shooting anything. 

With most of my shots I wanted to get up close and personal. On some of pictures I was inches away from my subject even though it looks further away (One thing I love about Wide Angle Lenses). What I also love is you get the whole subject and you don't have to get far away, example would be the entire building.

I wanted to get a shot of the whole building. I would have like to be on the other side of the street but with the construction on the sidewalk, it would have left me no room to stand. 

With this shot I wanted to show a different design point of view. From the 1st shot you wouldn't have know that the back of the building looked like this. I thought this was important to show. 

This shot was one I liked just because of the composition. I liked the different colors that came all together, once I figured out where I wanted to take my shot.

This was just fun. With my wide lens I was very very close to the chain and lock, this just give another view to the construction going on. 

I took this shot to show the lighting behind the building. The sun was directly behind and gave a really pretty light in between the structure lighting it perfectly. The one thing I would change about this shot was I wish I could have been closer and slightly higher.

This one again was just to show a different perspective.

I wanted to include this shot to show the DSU signs, just to show that is was happening at this particular campus. 

This was just for laughs, I probably would have named this lunch break.

I thought this shot was important to show the old vs the new student housing. I wanted to shoot close and have only part of each building showing.
