Description: I took this picture on my balcony one cold day. There were a bunch of frozen spider webs and they looked super cool. I only wished that I had a tripod at the time because most of my pictures were blurry.

Poor Spider
Description: I took this picture on my balcony one cold day. There were a bunch of frozen spider webs and they looked super cool. I only wished that I had a tripod at the time because most of my pictures were blurry.
Laces
Description: Our latest assignment for photo class was themed around shoes. For the longest time I lacked inspiration or ideas for this assignment, thus I put it off for the longest time. However actually I truly started to do the assignment, I started to enjoy it. To try and be “out-of-the-box” and original the thought occurred that I shouldn’t just sit and snap away at the shoes sitting in static and dull positions. To remedy this problem of plainness I decided to float my shoes in water, the effect I think turned out pretty cool. I like how the laces look almost as if they were suspended in space, which was truly the goal. Add to that my lighting and good bit of Photoshop processing, this picture was made. Overall this is one of my favorite pictures and even though I loathed the assignment, it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable.

Shoes
I took this picture for our shoes assignment in class and I think that it turned out really well. I set up the picture in such a way that not only did the shoes fill the frame but they were also very visually appealing. I also like the way I was able to capture a good depth of field; with the nearest shoes in focus and the shoes in the background out of focus, but still recognizable.
(instructor note: real original title, huh?)

Shoes
For this blog posting, I used a photo that I took for the assignment shoes. I really like this picture and wanted to use it for my blog posting assignment also. I used my sister as my foot model and wanted to make the picture original and stand out somehow so I incorporated what I thought the shoes looked like they would go with. For this shot, I used converse and I thought that converse look like you would go play sports in the street so I used a basketball and a football. I like how this picture turned out besides the color of it.
Shoo Mountain
I took this picture for a shoe assignment. I threw a bunch of my shoes in a pile and started taking pictures. I thought this one turned out cool and I thought the black and white was a good effect.
Freaky Tree
Description: I was at a park somewhere I can’t remember and I was walking around with my nephew there. I also took my camera just in case I found something interesting. I took a lot of pictures there and this was one of my best =).
Snowy Day
During this time I was on my way to Leavenworth for some fun with the family. I took this picture for my winter theme. I took a lot of pictures this day but only got a few pictures that really did come out well. I used an ISO of 1600 and the quickest shutter I could use while in the car. This picture I thought turned out pretty well with really good contrast in color and with the stillness of the picture. Of course barns are sometimes out dated in pictures but the color really does show well.
Rattlesnake Ridge
After a morning hike up at Rattlesnake Ridge, I decided to take a picture of my physical achievement. I tried to frame the cliff with the surrounding trees. I transferred the picture to black and white in photoshop and adjusted a few brightness and contrast levels. I tried my best to define the shadows because in black and white photography; lines, texture, lighting and shadows are mandatory to pay attention to.
Got Money?
Description: This was one of my final prints for our Selective color assignment. I used the layer adjustment tool and then worked with the saturation and color to come to my final product. I liked this assignment it has been one of my favorites this year.
Sun
I took this picture one morning before school for my winter theme project. I noticed it was frosty out side so I got my camera and went out on my deck. I liked how the sun was shining but it was still cold enough to see my breath and I took this picture not really realizing how well it turned out.
