Up, Up, & Away

Photo by: Amber V


This picture I look for our “Circles” theme assignment in my Photo 2 class. I found some balloons on the side of the road and took them to photograph them. I had just been at sonic and had my cup left over. It was tricky for me to catch the balloons and the cup in focus while pointing it up into the sky. I got lucky with this picture I feel because everything is in focus and it is not too bright or too dark. The one thing I do not like about this picture is it almost looks photo shopped and unreal. All in all I am proud of this photo and happy with the idea and results.

This is a very creative photo. Attaching balloons to something and watching it fly away is something I've always wanted to do. It is also very colorful but some of the color is too drowned out by the sky.

This is a really cool photo! The focus, the light, the colors, everything is really great. It does look a little photo shopped but that is a good thing! This photo is very creative and very nicely done. It is not too bright or too dark, like you said, which makes it even better. Very nice job!

Oh man, I love love love this concept. It’s very creative! It does look a little unreal, but that’s nothing bad.
You used leading lines very well, the eye really follows the balloons down to the cup!
The focus is GREAT, too! I’m impressed you were able to get it to focus right while moving!
This photo gives a very nice whimsical, light-hearted mood.

This photo is great the color of the balloons and the sky really work well together to make the photo look great. The lighting of the photo makes it seem like a real happy kind of picture but overall great photo. Oh yeah this kind of reminds me of the movie up ha

I like this picture because it’s really creative. You could have used something else rather than the sonic cup though. The sky looks really good too I like the lighting but the sky looks more in focus than the subject. Overall it’s still a good picture, you did a good job =)

Well I like the coloring in this photo, but the sky looks really photo shopped and I’m not sure if that’s what they were going for or not? But I think this is a good photo over all.

I like this photo because it is very unique. I have not ever seen anything like this before. The colors go really well together and the blue sky really helps this photo.

I like the different colors that you used in this picture and how you got it to where the cup is actually flying away. I love it.
