Chromeplating Sjambok

I took this picture for my fall photos while out for a walk. I really liked this picture for many reasons. I liked how everything but a few leaves are blurred out. I also like the colors of fall and how all the leaves just piled up against the curb. I was pretty pleased with this picture and how it turned out.

Bright Afternoon

I took this photo one day after school in my backyard. I looked up and liked the contrast of the green tree against the bright blue sky so I attempted to get a photo looking up at the top of the tree. This was pretty much how the photo turned out, and all I adjusted was the brightness and contrast to make the colors stand out a little bolder. I am fairly happy with the results but I would have liked to spend more time trying different angles and perspectives to try to get a few more shots.

Baby Emmy

Description: This is a picture of Emerson, one of the teacher’s kids my mom babysits during the day. I actually had the camera out to mess with settings and I decided to shoot a couple and got this one of her looking right at me. My mom is holding her and I love how she looks almost like she’s trying to hide yet her eyes are wide open in curiosity. I used the Hue and Saturation tool to brighten her red shirt. I am really happy with how it turned out.

158th

I took this picture while walking home after school. The sun was reflecting off the street sign and that’s what caught my attention. I like how you can see the rays from the sun, and how the trees in the background are really dark.

Prognosticator

In this photo I was at a paintball tournament taking pictures of a bunch of my friends. And KT, the guy in this photo was trying to make it to a bunker up the field. So I was taking shots as he went and this one is right as he got behind the bunker. I had to pretty much lie on the ground to get this shot. What I also like about in this picture is the big pile of bunkers in the background that is blurred, while KT is in focus, and the grass is also blurred while the main subject is in focus.

I took this picture on a family road trip earlier this month. There were lots of cool old houses along side the road, so I decided to take a few pictures of them. This one turned out to be my favorite. I cropped it a little, and obviously changed it to black-and-white to give it a vintage effect. To make it more interesting, I intensified the contrast quite a bit. My favorite aspect of the photo is the fact that it looks like an old picture. I used a fast shutter speed to capture the photo quickly, since we were driving and I had to take the picture out my car window

This picture is one of my favorite photos because it captures my silly side a bit. I used this picture for our photo skills project as a center of interest shot. I like how the background is not in focus, and the subject is. It was kind of challenging to get a good shot because my lighting really sucked. This is the first time that I have put an effort into the set up for the final images; usually I just go outside and end up with some really great shots. This time I actually messed with every aspect of what I was shooting so that I ended up with interesting photos. I do like the final outcome, tell me what you think.

Goal

This picture was taken at a soccer game for the kids that I coach. This picture is actually of my little brother before the goal. What I tried to do was lead the subject on and have a great action shot. I used a little bit of depth fulfilled in the back and was able to get both of the kids in focus. It was very hard to have such a far zoom and still get them in focus. The lighting is great also because it was a nice sunny day! I am pretty happy with this picture but look forward to getting better at taking action shots.

Baby Nissa

This is my baby cousin Nissa. I adore this picture so much. I got her playing around outside and took the picture as she was pointing a dog across the street. What I feel that gave this picture character was using aperture. I got her in focus and the background blurred. This is definitely one of my FAVORITE picture!

Rita

This picture was taken in my backyard one afternoon. It was in the first few weeks of school and the day we got our cameras to take home. I was getting use to how work the camera and started taking random pictures of my dogs in the sun. I decided to fill the frame with my puppy Rita. I centered her head in the middle of the picture and made my depth of field very small. The grass and everything else in the picture I made blurry on purpose because I wanted the main center of interest to be Rita’s soft, fuzzy face. I am extremely pleased with the photo and my lighting.
