Crystal Mountain

I took this photo at Crystal Mountain. This was my first time up there and it was quite the adventure. In the end Tasha and I got some good quality pictures out of it!

Class Clown

By Ashana A.

I take a marine biology 2 class and we get to take care of fish around the lab. I do not take care of this little clown fish but he is very entertaining because he is very territorial and if you put you’re hand in you will get bitten. I know it’s a bit blurry but I still like it. I used a Nikon D-90, F/5.6, ISO-2000, exposure 1/30.

Melon Candy

Jennifer D

I took this picture of some candy with an ISO-3200. I wanted the candy to pop out more so I dropped the candy on a white plate and I turned on my flash, which made the candy brighter just like I wanted. I also used a Shutter Speed of 1/125 sec.

Faces of Steven

Photo by Sierra A-H

The most fun I’ve had taking picture was with my best friend Steven. He really got into it and unlike the other people I have had model for me, he never once asked me what how he should pose. He just went to town doing what was natural for him; being silly. The photos came out amazing : D

Party Balloon

This is a photo I took for our Pick a Color assignment; I had chosen blue as my color. I had a pretty tough time figuring out what to do for my photos, since I didn’t have many blue items in my house, so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a bunch of blue and gold streamers for the background and some greenish blue balloon shaped confetti and some silver glitter. I used some tape and a shot glass to keep the piece of confetti up and I also used my table lamp for some bright light to help the bokeh effect. The only thing I don’t like much about this is that I focused a little more on the shot glass than the actual confetti; I didn’t even realize it until a couple days after I took this picture. But all in all I’m pretty satisfied with this.

Mossy

Cisco G.

I took this picture in the forest down the road from my house. I like it because of the clarity of the shot and how close I got to the moss. I used a resolution of 300ppi and an aperture of f/5.5. My Wight balance was set o for cloudy weather and an ISO 3200. Also I had a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second. Hope you enjoy this piece of forest I have to show you.

Uniform Emotions

Xavier N

My fascination with finesse, consistency, and uniformity has not yet left my line of vision. I’ve worked diligently to invoke a sense of youthful aristocracy in my photos. I’ve been told my style of photograph has developed and I am very happy with this statement. The models I choose to work with are increasingly understanding of what I need from them to create an image. The collaborative efforts between us, and others who sometimes help, are paramount to the construction and execution of each shoot. I am so satisfied with these combined efforts. For this photo we worked in a small space to prevent light from escaping; we had many lamps close to the subject as well as behind to capture the cyan backdrop, and even after some crucial editing (predominately recolor,) I had no difficulty with the shadows within the image. I colored the darker areas of the photo, such as the subject’s hair, for vibrancy, doubled the image for uniformity. I no longer want starkness, color is too attractive.

Casper the Not So Friendly Cat

Photo By: Annie G

This is my black cat named Casper, she is scared and skittish and really doesn’t like anyone but me. I have always had a hard time getting good pictures of my cat. Because she is black it is easy to make her look washed out and shinny looking. I really liked the resolution of this picture because it really extenuates her yellow eyes. This is her most famous expression, and I thought I captured it really well.

Colorful Vans

This is a picture I took for our selective color assignment. I colored this picture by using an adjustment layer (black & white) and the easer tool. I really like the colors the shoe brings out. I’m very pleased with this picture.

Streets of Seattle

Photo By: Madison H.

This is a photo I took while I was in Seattle. I really liked how the sign looked and thought it would be a cool picture. I changed the photo to black and white, but left the sign in color to add an interesting effect. I also added a black border to the photo. Overall I am very pleased with the outcome of this photo!
