A blossoming rose…

Photo by: Maria Carrasco
I took this picture for my close up assignment… What I really like about this picture is that you can tell the flower is in full focus and is shining bright making it stand out. The clearness of the red rose is details, leading the subject the middle of the flower, while the last few pedals being blurred out.

Innocence

My boyfriend and I went to Bradley Lake Park one day, and he we saw a tree that people had carved on. I thought it would be cute to take a picture of the heart<3>

I really like this photo I took at Bradley Lake Park of some berries. I think they were berries at least. It was a nice day, and I took this photo right before it started to rain. The wind was blowing so that’s why it is a bit blurry but no excuses. Uh, this was right at the start of fall I think, so I am not sure if the berries were originally a differently color, but that doesn’t matter much. I am pretty proud of the picture but my next picture will be better!

Autumn Leaf

I took this for our autumn theme assignment. I took a lot of pictures of leaves for this assignment, but this one is my favorite. It’s backlit, which really brings out the colors. I cropped this a little, but otherwise have not changed it at all.

Autumn Afternoon

On a Sunday afternoon in October, my family and I went to a park in Tacoma to take pictures for my fall theme assignment. This was one of my favorite shots. I haven’t adjusted it at all and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I wish that there wasn’t that blue paper in it but other than that I’m especially proud of the framing and overall composition of this photo. I had a really fun day with my family and I’m really happy with this shot!

Fall Steps

I took this picture for my Fall assignment. I was at a park that had a slide, so I decided to place some leaves on some steps and see how it turned it. It turned out pretty cool and I liked the way the rusted steps accentuate the colors in the leaves. All I did to the picture was adjust the contrast and crop a little off the right. If I was to change anything, I’d try to get rid of the shadow.

Alone In a Crowded Room

I like this picture because it reminds me of those days when you just want to sit by yourself and listen to music or when you feel that no one understands you.

Good Day Sunshine

I took this picture while on a choir retreat in Idaho. We were given some free time, so my friend Ashley went with me to take pictures. I had taken several pictures of the trees and the lake, and I started to get bored with all the same pictures. So I asked Ashley if she’d start throwing leaves around. I got a really nice silhouette of her, but it wasn’t dark enough for my liking, so I just played around with the contrast on photoshop.
