A Deer in Headlights

Photo by: Nicole S.


This was an outcome for my Night assignment. In our yard my dad has these deer and I thought it would be great to experiment with it. I took another one with the shutter speed longer and it made it much too bright. I thought this one was perfect because the bushes are also in focus as well as the non-moving lights on the deer. I had the shutter speed about eight or so seconds. It really turned out how I planned for it to and I really love this picture.

Rainy Day

Photo by: Nicole S.
This picture was a result of my Faceless Portraits assignment. It has been raining continuously so I had the great idea of having my friend, Annie Guthrie, stand in the rain with an umbrella. It worked our very well and I got quite a few good pictures like this but I liked this the most because it looks like she’s waiting to be picked up. And I like how the ground was still wet from the rain so it worked out even better.

I love this picture. I think the color is good it’s a tad bit to light, but I’m still very proud of it. I took this picture out driving around with my friend in Tacoma. I was looking down at my feet and thought to myself this would make a really cool picture. Overall I am very pleased with the results.

Little Eskimo with Cloud Above

I took this picture for my Splash assignment, and I have to say I had a really hard time. It was tough to get good lighting with such a fast shutter speed. This was one of my better ones, one of the only ones of that was in focus. I thought the colors of the liquid looked good with the black background.

Red Raven

Photo By: Madison H.
This picture was taken for my fall assignment. The colors of the pumpkins, wagon, and flowers really represent what fall is, to me. I took this picture in Seattle at a flower shop. The wagon was outside and it was a gloomy day, so the lighting was perfect for this shot. The only thing I did in Photoshop was adjust the levels, enhancing the colors of the picture. Overall, I am very pleased with how this photo turned out.

Milk Martini

Splash photos are officially my favorite assignment so far. For this photo, I wanted a unique blend of colors, so I used milk against a very colorful towel (the background). I also wanted a larger splash, so I dropped a golf ball into the martini glass, with one hand on the golf ball, one hand on the camera button. I got a few like this one that turned out great...until I proceeded to break the martini glass later…no more golf balls in glass…

Color of Life

Photo by: Tasha K.
This picture was taken for my autumn assignment, I kind of wish that the leaves weren’t so droopy looking. But it was raining the night before and it was sunny that day. I love the colors the tree had and I wanted to take a picture before all the leaves fell off.   

Forever Loved

I always drive by this road memorial and Friday I finally decided to take a picture of it. I used the cloudy white balance because it was cloudy and raining so it was hard to keep the camera dry. I used Photoshop to enhance the colors. Oh and just a reminder, drive safe.

Kick it to the Curb

Photo by: Austin W.
This is a photo taken originally for autumn themed assignment. I went out and walked around for about an hour and came up with some pretty cool pictures. I think the curb side view is unique in a number of ways. You see leaves in the gutter everyday, but rarely do you see from down low. I brought up the situation a bit to make the colors a little more vivid. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Portraits

I saw a bunch of little pumpkins that had face paintings on them while I was down at the pumpkin patch on a family excursion. I was taking autumn pictures for an assignment and I thought the pumpkins captured the essence of this season. I got to the pumpkins level, got up close and personnel with them and took some great shots. I liked this one the most.
