Sunrise

Photo By: Brianna L.
I took this picture before school one morning because I thought the sun looked really pretty. There was a red-ish pink glow around it. It was foggy in the valley and it gave off a hazy look. I liked the trees up close in the picture because they frame the sun. I also think that the sky looks really pretty. I liked the stripes of pink going through the dark grey sky.

Freshly Baked

Description: This picture was taken for our cookbook recipe assignment. We had to cook something and create a recipe page for whatever we made and provide pictures that we took. This has been favorite assignment thus far and I believe my best photos were some of my baking supplies and cupcake shots. Using different depths of fields comes pretty easy and I used that along with rule of thirds to get the one cupcake that had a bite into it as the main focus among all the other ones. Overall I’m pretty sure I accomplished my goal fairly well with this picture.

I took this when I had gone outside into my mom’s garden. It was for the close up assignment. I had a little problem with the shutter speed at first but I finally got one that was not blurred and I love it =]

Dragonflies are Nifty

Description: I took this picture in front of my house. I was waiting outside and I this dragonfly was sitting on a bush. It didn’t fly away or anything when I got close to it and I took a lot of pictures of it. I used Photoshop to make the colors more vivid and bright.

YELLOW, ORANGE, RED

Description: I was at my Grandma’s house for her birthday and I was taking pictures of everything that was going on for her. There was a break in the fun so I went off to her garden and took a few pictures for her to choose from for the background of her computer. But I really liked the way that this one turned out so I decided to use it for an assignment. All I did was crop and add a auto contrast. I really like it.

Wind Chimes

I took this photo for a depth of field review assignment. I took it in my backyard garden. We have a wind chime hanging from an overhang. The wind was blowing so it took a few tries to make the dangling heart in focus. I like how the background is extremely blurry and it looks like the heart is swinging.

Sad Puppy Eyes

I really like this photo. I was working on my photo skills review and I was trying different angles. I love the way I captured my six month old puppy jack. I was able to capture his soft warm brown eyes. I got down on his level on the floor right in front of him and took the picture and it turned out really great.

Green Blades

Description: I took this photo in my backyard, as part of my elements of composition assignment. I focused on getting all the lines of the grass together getting most of the drops of water left from the morning dew in the picture as well. I used curves, levels and contrast tools to bring out the green color, and the glisten from the water. My favorite part about this photo is the interweaving of all the blades of grass.

Pink!

Photo by: Anabel V
Description: I was walking up to my front door after school and I noticed these flowers and I thought the colors looked really nice together. I really liked how the pink stood out in all the green. I wanted to show a little depth of field so I tried to get the focus more towards the middle and have the foreground and background out of focus

Wheat

Photo by: Shannon M.
This is a photo of a wheat grass growing at the beach of my cabin. I tried to get one strand of wheat in focus as the others were out of focus. The warm colors in this photo are my favorite. Originally the color tones were dull, so I enhanced the brightness levels and contrast. My favorite thing about this picture is the sun rays going across the photo. I didn’t do it intentionally, but I love how it turned out.
