What I Could Take Photos Of For My Project

On the way home from college I go past Croydon quite often and there is a lot of interesting architecture there which I could take photos of. Also, the market end of Croydon could be deemed to be very photographic as well. I could take a photo of the sunset that goes over the bridge at the station near my house. I could also try to take a long exposure near the station where I live.

I've taken photos at my gym before, however it is possible that I could go there again and try and replicate one of my favourite photos on Flickr taken of a female boxer. I am also eager to experiment with smoke and abuse some of my friends that smoke and potentially get some complex swirls and patterns made by the smoke.

I'd like to take an interesting photo of food at one point as well and experiment with composition similar to something I did at GCSE. I could also could try and take a photo of my cat as even though she is hard to take photos of (she always seems to fidget the second I come near her) she is quite photogenic. I believe also I could do further experimentation with composition and lay out some things that I use daily or that I hold important to me. I could be ironic and take photos of some modern day technology with a film camera.

One thing I could also go on to do is experiment with a self portrait if the camera I'm given has a self timer option on it. Seeing as I only have one week to complete this project, I can potentially think of going to London after college one day and taking some interesting photos there.  I could take a photo of a bus, which I did with my Zenit-E that unfortunately did not develop successfully. I took a photo of an empty top deck of a bus, and I thought it looked relatively interesting to the eye. I could think of re-doing this with a camera that actually works.

Even though it seems quite mundane, I can take photos of my every day routine. For example, taking photos of my bed, my tooth brush with tooth paste on it, me on the bus, arriving to college, during college, on my way home, doing work, having a cigarette, eating food, going on the computer and going to sleep. This seems quite plain for the subject of 'every day' as it is really quite straight forward - but if my creative juices cease to get in gear then I could perhaps consider trying to go down the more obvious route.
