Ducks!

I went to the park and I was walking around the lake and I saw these ducks so I thought I’d take a picture of them. I really like how it turned out though because it shows the reflection of the trees on the water.

This picture I am using this time for the blog posting assignment was actually not meant to be used as a blog posting picture. I originally took this picture for the photo journalism assignment and really liked this picture and wanted to use it for a blog posting picture also for one of my favorite photos I have taken. I was in the pottery room, taking pictures of pottery club people and the sculptures that they were working on. I thought this mask the guy was working on was really cool and I also liked the other mask the guy was working on so I wanted to use both of them in the picture. I really like how clearly in focus the front mask is, and how you can see the clay he is putting on the mask and the clay on the paint brush is wet. I think that was a really cool effect for the picture.

Heart within the pages

I got this idea from a picture I saw online one time. At first I tried taking the pictures in normal light, but when I did that I wasn’t able to capture the shadow of the ring on the pages. In order to get the heart shadow down the spine of the book I had to get the right lighting and the right camera angle. I went into a dark room and put the book to the side of a single lamp, and then I took the picture directly above the book. When I did this I was able to get the heart shadow in the book.

The Setting Sun

I took this picture in an empty lot in behind a gated community. I like the look of the trees and how the trees look black instead of there normal color. I like how the sun has almost gone away for the day. Overall, I think the picture turned out pretty.

This photo was chosen because of the clarity, editing, and the use of lines of the string following from the front of the picture all the way out into the back. There was not much Photoshop critiquing needed except for enhancing the brightness and contrast levels. My favorite thing about this photo are the light spots created from the out of focus light bulbs; that was my whole idea of the picture to turn out like.

Pretty colors!!!

Times of Change

Description: I was able to get this picture when I was completing my autumn theme photos. I was actually driving past the ponds where this tree was at and I noticed it. I feel that the colors work very well together and the tree itself was quite bright without adjusting the brightness or color of the picture. That said I did adjust the levels as well as contrast and burned the edges slightly. Over all I really enjoyed this picture, it is one of my favorites.

Lemon Drop

Description: This was my favorite picture from our fast shutter speed assignment, where our focus was to be splashes. I’m not so great, normally, but for this assignment I finally took some decent fast pictures. It was difficult due to lighting, and it took a lot of practice shots to get a decent shot, but after I brought out a couple of halogen shop lights and stopped worrying about the mess that was being made, then things got good. After taking the picture, I went into Photoshop and played with the levels, colors, exposure, saturation, and curves to get it to just where I liked it.

Baseball

I took this picture for the “Make a Splash” assignment. I like how big of a splash the baseball made, but you can still see the top of the baseball. The only thing I did to the picture was adjust the levels to highlight the splash a little more. The only thing I don’t like about the picture is that I used a white background, so it looks a little plain. Overall I think the picture turned out well.

I really like this picture. I was trying to get some pictures for my fall picture assignment and was just snapping shot of all the trees. I like the colors of the leaves and the way they look in the picture. This picture turned out way better than I thought it would.
