The Adventures of Mr. Metoyou

This is Mr. Metoyou, as I now call him. :)




Here's the rundown on Mr. Metoyou :D
So I finally had a chance to take an actual photography course with an amazing photographer (Jacqueline Kent)! Anyhoo, so as I was leaving, I decided to bring along this little guy in case we did any test photos or anything like that. The above photo was taken at the class when we were testing aperture. This was also great for me because I learned how exactly to use the three exposure controls together to work best even under low light situations. :) 
After the course was over, I didn't think much of the little bear. Until one day when I was out on a photo walk with the same group from the photography course, and I realized I still had him in my camera bag. Right away, I started using him as my little subject for the photo walk. This helped me to try and expand with my creativity while taking photos :)
Here is my favourite photo from the A'ali Potter photo walk I referred to above:











































Soon after this, I traveled to Garmisch, Germany for an FEA (Future Educators Association) conference. (F.Y.I. Garmisch is like a fairytale! I'm not even joking, most stunning place I have every seen.).
I took the opportunity to use this guy when we were stuck at the airport for what seemed like eternity. I had some help from Mrs. Kent's daughter, who also happens to model :P.
Here are some of my favourite photos from the outside the airport (though the first one's from inside the airport haha):
I like how it kinda looks like we're in motion and he's in perfect
focus, even though we were just sitting still. :)


I like the foreground and background elements here,
especially how the branch is kinda scratching through
"you".
I like the story this could potentially tell, it looks like the person
is walking because of the movement in the background and
Mr. Metoyou is just chillin' there :P
"Kisses From Me to You" So cute! :x
I really like the texture in this one. It's almost
like he got abandoned there a while ago! :(
So then we finally got to the resort we were staying at (yes, resort ;D ) and during one of our very few free times, we went on a walk down to the town. Here are a few pictures from that. :)


I love the warm tones of this photo which is in contrast
with the snow. It kinda looks like the snow is melting a bit,
like the relationship is coming out of a cold patch. IDK!
I'm just analyzing know haha :)
I love the detail and the texture here,
he looks so cold and lonely!
That's all of the adventures this guy has been on so far! I only just recently started using him :). I can't wait to see what else I can come up with for him the next time I get out!
