I used the rule of thirds in this picture with the snow and the trees. The snowy part isn’t going through the center, it’s off to the side. I was trying to get a good perspective or angle on where I was and how big the trees and cliffs were.
I was trying to get a good angle of the words on the school and also get the flags in the frame as well. The sky has a nice color and I think all the colors mix well.
This is kind of a portrait. It is different then most, but I think It works. He’s in a school, and he’s thinking.
In this one I was trying to put the objects in a way where they lead your eye on towards the left of the picture. I wish the back ground was a little more simple, but it worked ok.
I was really trying to get the right light and shadows for this picture. I also tried to get a good angle. I wish the background could have been better, but I don’t think it draws the eye too badly.
I was trying to set up the objects in a certain way that they would fit well and compliment eachother. Again, the background isn’t as nice as I wanted it. There is also some nice texture in the picture.
This is a sort of weird confusing picture but if you look close enough, the chair and the bag under it is mirrored so that there is two of them. The color is ok but I wish I had brighter and more colors.
This picture shows depth of field and also some good texture. The color is kind of weird, but it adds a different perspective to the picture. The light coming through the rings at the top of the pole looks pretty neat too.
I like the detail on the chain in this picture. The color is sort of dull, but it works with the atmosphere in the picture. I also used the rule of thirds to offset the linking of the two chains. The texture is a little more dull on the chains that I wanted though.
The clouds and the sun in this picture sort of makes it look scary in a way. It has a neat perspective and there are a lot of things to look at. I think the black and white works because the picture would look dull if it was in normal color.
In this picture, I was trying to get a good picture of shadows without giving away which one of the shadows actually has the camera. I guess from a perspective this picture could look spooky in a way. The shadows on the ground and all you see is footsteps.
This picture is pretty cool. The perspective could be from a child in a playground who is only focusing on one thing, getting from one object to another on the playground. They don’t hear their parents calling them or all the people watching and the sounds of the streets nearby. Everything like that blurs out.
I tried to blur the person in this picture out and have the background in focus. I also tried to get a better angle than just straight on which gets boing after a while. I also tried to get some good color with the lockers in the background.
This picture has some pretty neat lines and texture. I was trying to capture the cracks in the ground and enhance the darkness inside of them. The light in the corner doesn’t really help the picture too much though.
This picture is neat because the two people are lifting their feet at the same time and it adds an interesting perspective. I think the bike and the metal pole adds some interest to the picture and keeps it from being dull.
I got good depth of field on this one. The empty chess table and dark color makes the picture look kind of lonely and dark. The deferent’s of clouds in the sky changes the color and looks quite interesting. Looking at it now, if I was down and to the left a little bit, it might have been better.
I like this one quite a bit. The bright colors really stand out against the blackness or the background. The texture looks really neat and you can see a lot of detail.
Here I was trying to capture two friends having fun. It is actually quite funny. One guy is working and trying to get stuff done, and the other guy is trying to have a good time while doing so. The black and white effect works well in this picture. I don’t think it could work if it was in color.
I think this is my favorite picture. After adjusting the white balance, shutter speed, and depth of field for a while, I was able to get this picture. There is quite a lot too look at. I really like the look of the lights and the cars speeding up the road. I wanted to get the blurring effect like I did in the other picture, and I think I got a good balance of cars coming towards and away from me.
I was playing with the depth of field here and I think I did a pretty good job of blurring the background and only having the birds and the lightpost in focus. I actually brought the contrast down and tried to make it a little bit lighter so you could see the birds more clearly. This isn’t my best picture of animals. I was working more on the concepts.
This picture is quite interesting. One of the chocolates on the top looks like it’s popping out of the package when it’s just a print. It almost looks 3D. The right angle and the right light probably had something to do with that.
I like how the bracelet stands out against the dark skin on his hand. The blue in the bottom right of the picture also stands out quite a bit. I have to admit, I am not very good at taking these kind of pictures.
I like how this picture leads your eye to the top right with the curve in the road. There is a good balance of light from the cars going both directions and I still really like how the street lights look. The green signs are relatively focused while the cars are pretty blurred. It looks neat having something in focus and something blurred so close together in a picture.
