Fair_Car

I took this photo in the bio lab during class time. I used a Sony bloggie camera on the portrait setting. I like the way the bright yellow color looks against the black table. I like the plain white background. I like they way the light coming in from the windows emphasizes the shiny plastic.

Bubello_Grass

I took this photo of a Science Fair Project without flash and using the macro setting. I really liked the depth of field in this photo. Only a few of the strands of grass are in crisp focus and the rest are out of focus. The grass also becomes increasingly out of focus throughout this photograph. I also liked how some of the bright green and yellow pigments in the grass really pop in this photo.

DIlbarian_ birch tree

       I took these photos right before sunset in the beginning of winter.  I really like these photo because of the colors contrasting in the birch tree.  I also like the depth of field and ow you can see the pieces of bark falling off of the tree.  I also like how there is almost a warm pink color at the top of the branches because the sun was just setting.  If I could change the photos, I would change the angles to make the photos a little more interesting.

Palencia_Boloco

I took this photograph during February vacation. I took this for the on going assignment. When I went to Boloco, the light from the  window created a cool shadow. I like how one can the the slice of lemon in the shadow. I was sitting closer to the shadow but I then  moved and turned the camera at an angle so that there wouldn't be a distracting background.

Somto_bright light pillow.

I was playing with my camera and i took a picture of my bright light pillow...it was mid evening getting close to night. I took the picture on the bed in my room without a flash and i taught it looked great because of the glowing light in the pillow. I love the way the background is dark and the light you can see is coming from the pillow.

Garner_Chairs

 I took this picture in the auditorium. I used the flash because the lights were off. I did not like it in color so I changed it to black and white. I like how the color goes from light to dark, from the low right corner to high left corner. 

Garner_Kitty Cat

I took this picture last week when I want to MSPCA in Boston. I met this cat, Snowball, while I was there. She had laid down on her side and was staring at me. I noticed that her pupil kept changing shape and I wanted to take a picture of it. 

I angled me camera as if I was taking a portrait. I framed around her eyes and nose, while using available over head light. I love this picture but I do not like the background. I tried cropping the picture but It did not give the same effect as it does now. 

Somto_Sara & Karen

I took this picture in school. Everyone was just fooling around and we took pictures while Karen and Sara were dancing. This is a silhouette picture. I like this picture because of the way they are both looking at the same side.The only distractions is the trees in the windows and the walls in the picture but overall i like this picture.

Reichart_Washington d.c.

 I took this picture from the Abraham Lincoln statue memorial. I went to Washington D.C. in November and I like how the sky looks so blue and how the clouds look almost painted in the background.  When I took this my camera was on the landscape setting and i was mostly concerned with getting the whole monument in without it being to blurry but the construction in the foreground shows how big it is even from far away.

Flavia_Water Droplet

I took this photo of a branch that had a frozen water droplet on it. I really like this photo because of how detailed the branch is and especially the water droplet. On the water droplet there are reflections which I also like. I like how the water droplet is not really centered and I think it makes you focus on the water droplet more.

MacDougall_Silhouette

I took this photo for the Styles project for Silhouettes. I don't really like this photo, though, because I find that a lot of things are distracting in it. I think that the angle could have been a lot more straight. Also, I think that I should have moved a bit closer to the window. But I do like the brightness from the window and how it creates the silhouette.

Bache_Icicles

I took these photos in the evening when I was taking out my trash. I had taken photos of icicles earlier when it was light out, but the light shining through the icicles and the added detail of the glass and steel covering the light created more aesthetically pleasing photos.   I like the second photo more because of the detail in the ice and the frozen appearance of the frosted glass behind it. I like how the outline of the icicles are distinct because it separates such similar colors through its surounding shadows and texture.

Cha_Card

This is the picture of cards that I took from my desk. I like this picture because I like the way the card spread neatly and I like the focusing at the middle and the focusing blurs out from the middle. The critical point in this picture is, obviously, there are so many distraction behind the object. I should take out of the books behind the card. Beside the fact, I like this picture.

McGrath_YellowLeaves

I took this photo for the Let Me Tell You About Project. I like how the sun shines through the yellow leaves. I think that the yellow leaves and setting sun look nice against the cool blue sky backdrop. I used the night time setting on my camera.

Lanefski_BranchInSnow

I took this photograph with the macro setting on my Nikon D3200. I used natural light. I really like this photograph because of how focused and detailed it is. I think the colors go really well together, the green and brown pops against the white. I like the different shades of white in the snow from shadows. I don't like how the branch is not completely centered but I think it makes the photograph a little more interesting.

Fair_HeartCandle

This is a photo of the bottom of a heart shaped candle. It is sitting on my dining room table which is glass. I took this photo lying down underneath the table. The lights in the room were shut off because it made the candle glow more. I think this photo is interesting because it is not the typical view of a candle.

Duchaney_Flashlight

I took this photo of a flashlight with my Canon Powershot SX110IS on indoor macro setting. I wish there was less dust. I took other photos of the same subject at different angles, all of them much brighter, but I chose this one because the dust was least prominent. Also, because it was darker, it was more mysterious in contrast to the single bright bulb, and the reflections were more fluid-looking. I like how deceptive the photo is, because, in person, the flashlight is very bright, but in the picture, only one bulb appears to be lit. Nor can you tell right away that this is a flashlight.

Dilbarian_ Sun and snow

I took these 2 pictures outside in my driveway.  I took them in direct sunlight without flash and while the sun was setting.  I like the way they are both facing towards the sun. I also like the snow in the background.  I also like how in the second one, there are the small flares.  Lastly, I like how there light is reflected off of the cement.  

Tomlinson_Iscicles

I took this photo the day after the blizzard "nemo" hit. I took it just using the available light

Bubello_Vase

I took this photo in my home without flash and using the macro setting. I really liked the clarity of the bubbles on the glass of the vase. I also liked how only one of the stems is bright green, unlike the others. I decided to enhance this photo because I thought it was much too dark. Although that caused part of the vase to be overexposed, I really liked this photo overall.

Brossi_Dog

I took this picture Saturday morning.  My sister and my dog were playing in the snow and he jumped on her and she fell over.  I like how you can see all the footprints from where they were playing and how her legs are still up from when she fell. I think this photo really captures the action of what happened. I used no flash and natural light

Garner_Nemo Shadows

The top picture is the original. I took it yesterday with my Canon Rebel on the auto setting. I liked the ways the sun created shadows on the snow. I did not think they were dark enough so I edited the photo. I made it black and white and lowered the brightness setting and raised the contrast. I love how the shadows look kind of eerie. The freshly fallen snow was a good way to use the natural light and illuminate the picture.

Condon_IsabellePortrait

This is my friend Isabelle. I took this photo today after the snow stopped coming down. We decided to just go outside and take a few photos. I really love this photo of her because the bright pink sweater really pops with the snowy background and how her hair looks so pretty, like it is flowing. One thing I wish I did before I put this photo up, was crop it a bit on the left side. Other than that, I really love this photo.
