Slug

Photo by: Shannon M.


One day, while I was walking down my street I stumbled upon a slug. I thought that it would be a challenging and interesting subject to take pictures of. The hardest part and my most proud part, is how much “in focus’ this picture is. I love how you can tell the texture and sliminess of the slug. An adjustment of levels, curves, brightness/ contrast was used to enhance and define the clarity of the photo.

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!!!

I took this photo for the night assignment. I think it turned out cool. =] So ya! =] leave me comments on what you think.

Palms on Water

Description: We had a night theme photography assignment, which was really challenging. Especially since I was on vacation when it was due, so I just took all my photos down there. I didn’t have a tripod, regrettably, which made night photography more difficult than it needed to be. However, I took this shot looking off our balcony towards the marina and was able to use the ledge to balance the camera. This is one of the better shots that actually turned out. I used a thirty second shutter speed and had the white balance set to incandescent.

Among the Trees

Description: I took this picture at a park. I forgot what it was called though. There were a lot of people there so it was hard to take pictures without a person running into your picture. I adjusted the lighting using curves and it looked nice.

I took this picture for our water splashes assignment. This was a really hard assignment. I had to put my camera on a Tri-pod and use a ton of light because my shutter speed was so fast. It was really hard to get everything in focus. I think this picture turned out really great.

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.
