So I have a photo assignment due really soon and I've drawn a blank/been really busy and haven't got around to it and I'm scrambling last minute. I need ideas for photos that go with either of the three themes; use of alternative light, creative angles or motion.

Now my limitations are that I'm shooting black and white, and I have no flash.

Help me please!

Do some light painting.  It would use alternative light and motion, or do a night photo of a busy street or curvy road

thats what she said.

really though, try panning with cars for motion or use a flash and stop motion. Maybe water droplets.

film or digital?

creative angles is good if you can shoot of the opposite of what youd normally think, from ground level all things tend to look different or from up above the head. also try macro to mess with angles. another good thing to try is. painting with lights damn easy man its so simple and the things you can do are limit less such ass this picture i did in photo 1 (prints and negatives)

What are you spinning?

Looking up at something makes it look more "massive"

i got one of my senseless friends to spin this straightened clothes hanger that had steel woal attached to the end, we doused the woal in spray paint to accelerate it and he spun it around - 1.5 second exposure at like 11 pm

That's sick!

I might try one of those I have a bunch of sparklers left over from halloween

any ideas to do with skiing?
I was thinking maybe I'd do a follow cam and take a picture in the air following a guy but do you think it might be to hard?
