Feeling Frustrated

I started my classes at Ryerson again last week. Commercial Photography should be really fun and exciting and creative..and yet I just feel frustrated from the results of the first class. Do a simple still life photo. Should be easy right? I think maybe I was over thinking it. Or maybe I didn't have the right props. Or maybe the fact that it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to get the cap off the strobe light(thanks to the guy next to me who looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked how to do it)

This was my first night working with true studio strobes. From set up to tear down it was all on me. I decided to keep it simple with some apples and little mini squash but I didn't like the outcomes and after 2 hours of shooting I wasn't impressed with myself. Here is the shot I like best.




Wednesday is the second half of the shooting time allotted for this assignment and I think I'll just have to go in relaxed and with lots of ideas. Will post my final shots and maybe the critique that I get as well. All constructive criticism is allowed!!
