Inner Beauty

Photo by Megan Mairs, 5th Period
I chose this picture because I love taking pictures of flowers and this one is my absolute favorite! I love how the center of the flower is still in focus and you can see every detail of it, along with it looking good. I love the coloring of the picture and the way it turned out. I took many shots trying to accomplish this look and I finally captured the look I was going for.

The Thing

I was taking photos for my lines, textures, patterns and this was one of my favorites that i took. The speedometer is in focus and the windshield wiper clicker thing is out of focus making it a good depth of field shot.

Reflection Lake

This photo was taken at a lake called Reflection Lake. On a very clear morning when the water and sky stays still, the lake can reflect the mountain perfectly

Up Close and Personal

This is a picture of a flower that is in my backyard. I got really close to the flower using foot zoom. I didnt really have to do much with the camera except focusing. I like the photo because it makes the flower look bigger than it really was, also because the texture in the center of the flower and the lines from the petals really support eachother and at the same time contrast.

Sunset

I was taking pictures for my lines, textures, and patterns assignment and I decided to look harder than just the obvious lines, textures, and patterns. So I looked hard and when I saw the swings I saw all three. So I took many pictures and this one ended up being my favorite.

Droplets of Life

Photo by Morgan Kim, 6th Period
When I went on a field trip to Mt. Rainier for my Geology class in September, I immediately looked for nice water droplets on leaves because it was still morning by the time we arrived. Typically, people in general just seem to like photos of water; it creates a relaxing atmosphere. This was the first time I had actually used the Nikon D70s, and I had no clue whatsoever as to how to use it (auto-focus, aperture, etc.) so this picture isn't exactly how I had wanted it to turn out. However, I find it visually appealing.
