Endless Beauty


Photo by: Brittany Knieriem
I took this picture in my friends yard out of state over the summer. I took this photo because it attracted my eye the moment I walked in their garden. When I came home, I decided to make it look a little more attractive to the eye so I photo shopped the background so it was black & white. Only the flowers had its original color. I think this photo turned out a lot better then I expected.

Winter Fun

I took this picture for my winter theme assignment. I went up to my friends cabin and took a bunch of pictures. Out of all the pictures I took there, this was my favorite.

Lexi


Photo By: Ashley Vincent
This is a portrait I took of my friend Lexi in the early fall. It was really difficult to get her to give me her genuine smile and this shot is actually a candid. I think it turned out pretty well especially since I am just beginning to get an idea of how to take good portraits. This captures her bubbly and carefree personality and I love how natural she looked in the photo. I wish I would have gotten more of her hair in the shot. Please let me know what you think and any suggestions for portrait photography are welcome.

Christmas Lights


Photo By: Callie Hyman
For the month of January, our Photo II class was assigned a project to take pictures in which we felt reflected winter. The first thing I thought about was Christmas. I found some Christmas lights still up (as it was way past the Christmas season) downtown at the Meeker Mansion. I thought a close up of the lights would be cool looking, and this is what I got. I like the overall outcome, and I especially like how the red building in the back makes the branches of the tree and the lights stand out.

Wrestlers

I was taking photos during the ERHS vs. Beamer match. I got many great photos but this photo really got what I was looking for. Getting the two athletes locked up for positioning and trying to get an advantage on one another was what I think made the photo. It also has a brightness over top of them from the light above, which makes it seem like divine people are watching an epic match of fighters. But anyway, I thought this photo was one of the best I took out of all of the others. Hope you like it.

Let It Snow


Photo By: TJ Hart
I did this in the studio while I was taking some photos of smoke. I wasn’t really sure what I was doing, but I like the way in which I got the lights on this one. I had the key light on the front of it with no fill light and two back lights. I also messed with some settings on my camera to produce more vibrant colors. In editing I brought contrast up and that was all I had to do to this photo.

Noodles

I took this picture of spaghetti noodles for the ‘close ups’ assignment. It is kind of dark but I think it gives it a nice effect.
