Spring Dog



Photo By Gabe Weber
This picture is of a neighbor dog that was out one day. I used the plants on the sides as sort of a frame. Although there is a chain link fence I thought it would still come out nice. I took this on a decent day so the lighting I don’t think is an issue. I chose this one because it was a nice day and I liked the pose of the dog in the picture.

Wild Cat


Photo by: Callie Hyman
I wanted to create a image of the roller coaster, the Wild Cat sign with the sun rays shining behind it an with the clouds in the back ground because I thought it looked neat. I walked around for a while till I could find the right setting for a unique picture. I really think I was able to capture it in this image. I took lots of pictures of the same thing a moved the camera around to find the right position that would best fit for the image. I think that this photo is unique because it makes the sign of the roller coaster stand out with the sun rays in the back ground. I would wait a little longer for the sun to go down a little to see if I could capture a better shot if I were to do this differently.

Night Lights


Photo by Julia Serva-Del Monte
I took this photo at the Puyallup Fair around 9pm. While I was taking pictures of this ride moving, it stopped to unload a few passengers while I was looking through my lens. I mounted the camera on the metal fence separating me from the ride and zoomed in on the light bulbs that were on the ride’s long metal arms. The whole time I was there, I was trying to take different shots of rides that weren’t your typical cliché fair photo. I’m pretty happy with how clear this turned out, since my lighting was very low and I wasn’t equipped with a tripod. The only thing I manipulated was the levels, and I changed the edges of the metal over the red bulbs to a tint of purple.

Mutton Buster

Photo by Rob Drake
I took this photo at the sheep riding event during the fair, all the kids are under 6 years old and weigh less than 60 lbs. I like this photo because I was lucky enough to take it right as he fell off. The only adjust made to the photo was the color levels of the photo because I took it with the wrong whit balance setting

Morris on the Prowl




Photo by Michelle Lombard
I took this photo sometime ago during this past summer. This cat just came out of the blue so I started to snap away. It was difficult to take pictures of him, because he just wouldn’t hold still. What I was trying to do in this photo was having the cat at the rule of thirds with space in front of him. I was happy with this because I didn’t think I would get a good shot out of him anyways. What I would do differently would be to take the photograph from a different angle.

Kermit the Frog




Photo by: Andrea Moody
I was walking in my backyard and saw this little frog sitting on my sister’s flowers. I found him in that exact position and he looked pretty content with staying there. So I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I cropped the photo so the focus was more on the frog instead of the surrounding background and I adjusted the levels and contrast just a tad. I’m really happy with the way this picture turned out.

Blurry Red Swing (the best title Landon could come up with)



Photo by Landon Cross
I took this picture at the fair at night; it was the last ride on the swings. It was really hard to get this picture because I didn’t have a tripod so I had to hold the camera really still. I thought it was a good picture because of how I caught that one person.

High Tide


Photo by T.J. Hart

I was in Tacoma with my brother Joel and his dog at the waterfront and saw this mini beach I guess you could call it and decided to take a picture of the little slice of sand. I thought it was a little too light so I leveled it manually in photo shop, there is a trash can that was a bright blue that I edited so that it wasn’t so distracting, can you find it? And I metered the light from the sky which was cloudy that day.

Space Needle


Photo by Samantha Fikilini, 5th Period

I took this photo when I was in Seattle. I really didn’t do much to the picture. I just turned up the contrast a bit. This is the last picture I took that day. The sky was very cool that day.
