Stay Tuned...
We're on winter break at the moment, we'll be back to posting pictures in January.

You Are My Sunshine

I took this picture while riding around with my best friend Christina and my boyfriend Justin. I was sitting in the backseat & snapped this right as the sun was shining directly in front of us. I edited the picture by adjusting the brightness. I also adjusted the hue & saturation since the colors turned out a little dull.

I was in Tacoma with my brother Joel when we came across this really cool looking church so I did some close ups and did minor editing to make it B&W and I did a little spot burning to bring out the grain.

This was for our still life/portraits assignment. This photo was taken of one of my best friends in our photography studio we have set up at our school. This was the first time I’ve ever taken portraits indoors with lights set up all around my subject. This shot was one of my favorites of Rhiannon because of the lighting and the clear focus on her facial features. Plus, she has a shy personality, so I was very happy with how cooperative she was to be my model.

Five-O

This is a picture I took of a friend’s dog. He was continuously following me around trying to get me to pet him so I took pictures instead. He seemed to like the camera. I think the picture turned out pretty good.

Want a Ride?

I took this picture last year in December when I went vacationing in Vietnam. The picture didn’t turn out the way I wanted to because I was using a regular camera. I like this picture because it shows us that people in Vietnam use boats more then cars to transport them from one place to another. I didn’t like the background of it though, I wanted it to be brighter but I couldn’t do that with my camera. I picked this picture because I had some very wonderful experiences on the boat and awesome memories. I didn’t do much I just adjusted the levels.

I took this picture on a trip down to beaver pond with a marine resources class. The tree really caught my eye because it was branchless and standing alone in the pond. The only editing I did was a little bit of curves adjustment.

I took this picture a couple weeks ago while the sun was starting to rise. I used a tripod and a prolonged shutter speed to fully capture the color of the sky. I didn’t use any sort of editing for this picture. The colors of the sky are natural. I really like the different colors of the sky because it isn’t your average sunrise. I also really like how good the trees silhouetted against the sky.

Oh The Drama

I took this photo at dress rehearsal for our school’s fall play. It was difficult to get images to turn out because the entire play was done with spotlights which gave me a lot of shadows on people’s faces. I ended up using a manual setting and a shutter speed of about 1/50 which resulted in a lot of hand blur and other small motion. I really love this image because these are the two main characters and both of them have great expression on their faces. Also the lighting worked well, and I didn’t have the shadow problem I mentioned earlier. All I did was a simple white balance adjustment in Photoshop. The only thing I would change is maybe to get a little bit more of her arm in the frame because it cuts off awkwardly.

The Reef

I took this photo because I love the colors of the ocean in this picture. The water looks especially good when it hits the rock and turns into a white tint. I took this picture when I was at the beach. It was difficult taking this photo because I had to get the exact timing right in order for the waves to look good and for the water to not get sucked back into the open water.
