Freaky Tree

Snowy Day
During this time I was on my way to Leavenworth for some fun with the family. I took this picture for my winter theme. I took a lot of pictures this day but only got a few pictures that really did come out well. I used an ISO of 1600 and the quickest shutter I could use while in the car. This picture I thought turned out pretty well with really good contrast in color and with the stillness of the picture. Of course barns are sometimes out dated in pictures but the color really does show well.
Rattlesnake Ridge
After a morning hike up at Rattlesnake Ridge, I decided to take a picture of my physical achievement. I tried to frame the cliff with the surrounding trees. I transferred the picture to black and white in photoshop and adjusted a few brightness and contrast levels. I tried my best to define the shadows because in black and white photography; lines, texture, lighting and shadows are mandatory to pay attention to.
Got Money?
Description: This was one of my final prints for our Selective color assignment. I used the layer adjustment tool and then worked with the saturation and color to come to my final product. I liked this assignment it has been one of my favorites this year.
Sun
I took this picture one morning before school for my winter theme project. I noticed it was frosty out side so I got my camera and went out on my deck. I liked how the sun was shining but it was still cold enough to see my breath and I took this picture not really realizing how well it turned out.
Hunting
I took this photo when I went on a hunting trip with my dad, brother and some of my dad’s work friends. In all we got three deer that day. They were all pretty good sized.
Stop? Go?
I took this photo for our night assignment and I think it turned out really good. What I did was I set my shutter speed to 1/10 of a second; this allowed me to have enough light and capture both figures at once. I had my sister press the cross button when I told her; I had to take the picture right when she pressed the button so I could capture the hand and the person. I took me a few shots but I was happy with the final product
Turtle!
I took this picture when I was playing with my turtle from marine biology and there was a path of water he was most interested in so I found it very interesting were the turtle is in focus while the curvy trail is in the background out of focus.
Frosted
Description: About a month and a few weeks ago we went into a deep freeze around here, which is a bit unusual. Sadly it brought no snow, snow days are the best, but it did bring thick ice all around. There is this small wetland protection area in my neighborhood so I figured why not go and try and get some good pictures of the iced over plants and pond. This one is one of my favorites because of the way the ice had broken and how the triangular chunk is sitting rather precariously. I did do a bit of editing in Photoshop, seeing as how the picture was really grey. For me, this picture accurately describes those few frozen days.
Tables by the light
Description: I took this photo for our night theme. I think it turned out really well. When I was taking pictures it was really hard to get them in focus. I like that this one is in focus and the way the light shine on the tables.
