How to Get an Extraordinary Shot from an Ordinary Spot
The purpose of this project was to find an ordinary place or item, then shoot it in an extraordinary way (or OSES). For my OSES project, I decided to try three different angles/photos. I have an assorted Tea Cup collection I inherited that contains a wonderful group of mismatch cups and saucers. I chose one of the Tea Cup sets to create an OSES picture of. I also had the same idea with my bamboo plant and created a unique OSES picture out of that. My final picture was taken outside. The Daffodils were in bloom outside one of my school buildings and I had the idea to take a picture underneath them. This created a unique OSES shot from, perhaps, an ant’s perspective. Below I have included my set up shots, the original ordinary spot photo, and the final OSES result.
