One Ring, One Clean Counter

By: RJ W.


I took this photo for my “Circles” assignment. I was truly surprised that I got this on the first try, since all the other ones I took were blurry and took at least 2 or 3 tries. The reflection was planned, and it happens to be my favorite part. I took this with the dim light in the corner of my bathroom. And I admit, I did shine the counter first.

Bleeding Hearts

Photo By: Madison H.


This is a picture I took for our “Spring” theme assignment in Photo 1. I really liked how this photo turned out. I used the macro setting to get a clear focus on the flowers, and to make the background out of focus. The lighting outside wasn’t great so I had to change the levels using Photoshop.

This photo was pretty hard to get. I had to sit on the ground and hold my camera really low. Positioning the camera in just the right spot so I could get her face as it came out of the water was the toughest part. I had to open up the aperture as much as possible and use a fast shutter speed. It took me about 20 minutes to get this one shot.

Sweet Tooth

This was a picture I took for our “Circles” theme assignment. I used red, yellow, and orange skittles and arranged them on my desk. I also used my desk lamp for more light. My camera was set to macro, making sure to focus in on the single red skittle more than the rest. I edited the colors and brightness in photoshop. There was also a big white glare blocking off part of the “S” on the red skittle so I used the stamp tool to fix it.

Fuzzy Lights

I took this photo because I loved the bright colors of the paper lanterns. I had to keep adjusting the White Balance so that the colors of the lanterns would really pop. Having everything out of focus gives it more of a festive feel to it.

This isn’t my favorite picture but I like the close up of Apollo. He’s a hard animal to take a picture of since he kept trying to eat the camera and the fact that the landscape wasn’t exactly… Pretty. I probably stood there for about two hours trying to get a decent picture of him because he wouldn’t get out of my face.

Bringing Back Old Memories

Photo By: Kailyn O


So I decided to take this picture after I bought some play-doh from target. While making different shapes and all that fun stuff. I remember how I would make some 5 star meals out of play-doh. I really like how I used rule of thirds. The only thing I really don’t like about this picture is how much carpet I actually got in the picture. But besides that I really enjoy this picture.

This photograph was taken when I got my camera checked out. It was taken outside, in decent lighting. I like how this particular shot looks lightly professional. I also love how the lighting enhances the subject’s features. I had the subject sit beside a telephone pole. It was during the middle of the day, so the lighting was a bit harsh. But it turned out well.

Odd One Out

Photo by: Tasha K.


Description: I took this picture for my spring theme assignment. I was just out in my front yard and my neighbor had bunch of flowers, it was perfect. I think this one is one of my best and I liked it the most. I thought it was funny how in the garden this flower was the only white one and the rest were yellow and orange. I didn’t have to do anything to the picture really, no lighting that was fixed or Photoshop, it’s natural.
