Apple Splash

Photo By: Madison H.
This picture was taken for my Make a Splash assignment. To get this picture, I put an apple in my kitchen sink and let water from the faucet run on top of the apple. The lighting was terrible, so I had to change the levels on photo shop, which gave the apple a more vibrant color of red. Overall, I am very pleased with how my splash picture turned out.

Fall meets winter

Photo by: Leasa T.
This was a day or two after the random snow we had awhile ago. I noticed it started to melt, and I wanted to capture it before it was all gone. I really liked how the sun was peeking through the trees and onto the snow, it created a nice warming affect. It took awhile for me to get everything in focus, but I like how it turned out.

Light Music

Photo By: Kayla K
I took this photo for my winter picture. I wanted the Christmas lights to be in the photo so it added the winter perspective. I love playing the piano, and I decorated my piano like this for Christmas. I wanted the picture to be a little on the dark side so the light would stand out more. The light on the piano keys are the lights from the Christmas tree.

Dead winter

I took this photo at about 9:30pm in the cold snow. This photo turned out better then I thought.
I used the slowest shutter speed possible, with the flash on; I used the timer so I wouldn’t move the camera. I like this shot because this has great light affect on the tree and ground. Also the background isn’t all black.

Night Lights

Photo By: Kailyn O
I took this picture for our night assignment. I used a medium shutter speed. I zoomed in close to try and get the Bokeh affect. I really like this picture. I do think I could have tried to get the picture more in focus because it is a little blurry, but besides that I am very pleased with this photo.

Sam didn't have a title

Description: This photo was from one of our assignments, faceless portraits. I got a quick photo of my sister while she was busy with homework. I changed it to black and white and edited the contrast and brightness.

Field of dreams

I was out and about one night taking my pictures for my night photography assignment when I came across this baseball field I took some pictures at. I liked how the long exposure took the little light there was and lit the whole place up and the sky turned orange that night.

Lit Up!

By: Austin Wolfe
This photo was taken originally for a night themed assignment. I just walked around the neighbor hood for about an hour and came up with some really neat pictures. For this one, I set up my tripod and framed the house how I wanted. Then I waited for a car to drive by to trigger the shutter, this gave the photo that streak you see at the bottom. I am very satisfied w3ith this picture, thanks!

Underwater vortex

Photo By: Jeric C
This is one of the photos I took for my splash assignment. I used a tripod and my camera was on flash with a 1\200 shutter speed. I also used a big glass bowl with a beach towel for the background and a water bottle with a nozzle to make the splashes. It was pretty tough timing the splashes right and getting the splashes in the right spot to be in focus. This was one of the few successful pictures I took. What I like about this picture are the greens and blues that were reflected in the splash, the whirlpool like shape and the bubbles around the bottom. What I don’t really like how the top rim of the splash is blurry and the back is more in focus. I think that if that part of the splash were more in focus then this picture would look better.

Mixed Signals

I took this photo for my “Night” assignment. It took some careful timing, because I had to click the shutter about two seconds before it switched between “walk” and “don’t walk”. I am very happy with the way it turned out, and it was one of my favorite shots of the night.
