I took this picture after it randomly started pouring rain, and there was this orange thingy, which I can’t remember what they’re called. I was attempting to get the closer orange light thing in focus while leaving the rest in the background blurry. I think it was slightly unique that I was standing in a big mud puddle? People don’t normally do that. I had the camera on manual focus because that is much cooler and easier to focus what you want to see than auto focus. I was pleased pleasantly with my photo because this picture shows exactly what I saw when looking through the lens, although I lightened the exposure a bit through photoshop, so it looked nicer than it already did.

Central Lima at night

This picture I took this summer on my trip to visit my family in Lima, Peru. I love the scenery especially at night there, so I didn’t need to adjust much in Photoshop. I think the lights in the church in the picture really make it stand out, the inner glow it has on the pictures really surprised me in the end, made the architecture stand out from the rest of the buildings.

I took this picture of a dandelion when I was at my dads. I tried to blow on it so I could capture the seeds scattering but they didn’t really move. I like how the background is out of focus.

Summer Flower

I took this picture this summer in my front yard. I like it a lot the texture of the flower shows a lot and makes me think of summer. I love the way it has other flowers blurred out in the background giving the front flower a better and bolder look.

Harley

This is one of my dogs Harley. I choose this picture because I like how dark the grass looks and it makes him look so much brighter. All I did was adjust the color just a little bit to make it stand out just a little more. I was surprised to see that he would sit still long enough to even take the picture.
