Lone Staircase!


Photo by: Elizabeth M.


I took this photograph for my night assignment. I like this picture because of the reflection from the puddle. It was difficult at first to figure out the best lighting and angle for this shot so I could see the reflection but in the end I think it turned out great.

Dark Alley, Way

This photo that I had chosen was for our night theme, I had chosen this photo because I really liked about it was that it leads the subject; the leaves I personally think compliments this photo. I didn’t really do much to it other then crop it a little bit, and sharpened it a little bit.

Hot Austin Nights


Photo by: Mason G.


Description: This is the night life of downtown Austin, Texas. This was from my night time project. My family and I went to many different spots all over the city to try and get some good spots to shoot from. I really enjoyed this assignment it was fun and I was able to work with shutter speed and aperture to correctly complete the assignment.

Christmas lights


Photo by: Jamie B


I took this photo for my night shooting assignment. I liked how the bright the lights are and I think it looks good with the darker background, to where you can only see what the lights are illuminating. The picture is kind of blurry but I didn’t have a tripod with me at the time so it was harder to capture, I needed a slower shutter speed. The only thing I did was crop the picture because my neighbor’s window was in the picture and it was too distracting.

Vacancy in Paradise


Photo By: Austin L.


This picture was taken during a rehearsal for the play Vacancy in Paradise. The banker was yelling at a sailor’s girlfriend for having hit his daughter. There isn’t much to say about the composition except for the amusing look on her face and the more surprised look for one of the men in the background.

Before the leaves fell


Photo by: Shelby D


Description: I took this picture in my back yard. It’s of my favorite trees. My mom wanted a new background for her computer that was in her words “fallish” so this is what I got. I also used it for my Autumn Theme assignment. The only thing I did was crop the picture. I really like it.

Slug


Photo by: Shannon M.


One day, while I was walking down my street I stumbled upon a slug. I thought that it would be a challenging and interesting subject to take pictures of. The hardest part and my most proud part, is how much “in focus’ this picture is. I love how you can tell the texture and sliminess of the slug. An adjustment of levels, curves, brightness/ contrast was used to enhance and define the clarity of the photo.

Palms on Water


Photo by: Dorian M.


Description: We had a night theme photography assignment, which was really challenging. Especially since I was on vacation when it was due, so I just took all my photos down there. I didn’t have a tripod, regrettably, which made night photography more difficult than it needed to be. However, I took this shot looking off our balcony towards the marina and was able to use the ledge to balance the camera. This is one of the better shots that actually turned out. I used a thirty second shutter speed and had the white balance set to incandescent.

Among the Trees

Description: I took this picture at a park. I forgot what it was called though. There were a lot of people there so it was hard to take pictures without a person running into your picture. I adjusted the lighting using curves and it looked nice.
