Life's Good

Photo By: Gabby Moulden
I took this picture on my front porch. I guess you can say my mind was wondering as usual so I dropped a rock in a glass of water and the reaction became my inspiration. So I did it again this time with the correct shutter speed and perfect angle of light and correct aperture. If only life really looked this pleasant all the time.

The Ending of the New Beginning

Photographed by Brittany Knieriem
I took this photo when I was at Long Beach visiting my grandpa for the weekend. I like this picture because I love sunsets and sunrises. I think they’re really pretty and the colors are amazing. I didn’t do much to my camera when taking this photo besides making sure it was in focus. I decided to take a picture of the sunset because its a really romantic scene and it sets off a good mood to whoever is looking at the picture.

Spring Dog

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

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

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

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

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.
