MacDougall_Flowers

I took these photos a couple of weeks ago in my living room. The light I used was the available light from the window and from an overhead light. But I do not like how the overhead light creates a lot of shadows. But I do like the colors in these photos. I like how in the top photo, the petal that was closer to the lens is out of focus while the one that was father away is more clear. Also in the bottom photo, I like how the petals that were farther from the lens are more in focus than the buds in the upper right hand corner of the photo.

Flavia_First Sign Of Spring

I took this photo at my house where there were these flowers starting to pop out of the ground. I took it when the sun was shining really bright directly at the plant. I like how it is really detailed in the front where the mulch and plant is and then blurry in the back. 

Bache_Skittle

 

I took these photos for my Extraordinarily Ordinary project. This green skittle was taken on  a stool that I flipped upsidedown. I flipped it because there was more that I could do with the subject. I liked the second image better because of the colors, positioning and lighting. I also like this one better because I know I put more effort in it. It took some time to get the skittle to stay and capture the image in good light at a good angle. I like that both images have wide ranges of depth of field, and both have good lighting. I took them right in frount of a window.

Brossi_flowers

I took this picture outside of my house on sunday morning. it was sunny out and the shaddows off the flowers were reflecting onto the house which made the flowers stand out more. I like the contrast and lighting in this photo. i took this with no flash 

Dilbarian_ fisherman

I took this picture when I was in New Hampshire.  I thought it would be cool to capture the fisherman and their boats.  I think the poles in the back are distracting but they are part of the landscape.  I also wish i could have gotten closer the the boats but they were far out into the water and i could only zoom in so far.  Over all i like the picture.

Namubiru_Oreo

I took this photo with direct sunlight in early afternoon. I used this for my extraordinarily ordinary assignment because you don't usually see mint oreos in the midst of flowers. I like the shallow depth of field at the top of the oreo, and I like the sunshine shining through from above. The background on the bottom left is a bit distracting though.

Reichart_Jar-Cup

I took this picture at night when it was dark outside and only used one set of lights, but they were not directly above the object. I used the close-up setting and and wanted there to be sharpness around the jar, but to also show how it looked through it.

Tomlinson_pineapple

I took this picture for the extraordinarily ordinary. I like how the pineapple is in in crisp focus and there is a clear distinction between the pineapple and the woods

mcgrath_grill

I took this photo of my grill for the third term project. It was a sunny day out. I used no flash and my camera's micro setting. I like how the bright the colors are and how in focus the ash is.

Lanefski_BrokenBoardwalk

I took this in Connecticut this past weekend. I went to a beach in Norwalk and I found a boardwalk that was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. I really like the juxtaposition of the beautiful peaceful water and islands and the broken pier. I like the blues in this photograph. I wish I could've gotten the boardwalk into clearer focus.

Bubello_StainGlass

I took this photo at Fatima Shrine using my phone and only the light available. I really liked how the light was coming through the stained glass and reflecting onto the walls. I also liked the different variety of colors that really catches the eye of the viewer. I liked how the angle draws your eyes upwards. I thought it made the photo very unique.

Duchaney_Map

I took this with my Canon Powershot SX110IS on macro indoor setting. The map was folded once, and I held it up to my window, so some of the graphics on the other side showed through slightly more faded in reverse. I like how this creates layers. I also like how "FRANKLIN," the brightest part of the photo, is clearly the main focal point, as everything gets blurrier as it fades out from it. I do wish tht the "FRANKLIN" was clearer, like the 458, but this could also be due to the fact that the actual type on the map was printed clearer using the black ink than the red, not due to the focus of my camera.

Somto__My shadow.

I took this picture in my backyard at home. I also used this picture as one of my ordinary and extraodinary photo. I like this picture  because you can see my shadow in the background and the sun is also bright in the picture. I took this photo in both black and white so that everyone could compare it.

Condon_Flowers

I took this picture for the project last term and I used it as extraordinary because it is a different type of pink flower in a vase full of yellow flowers. I like this picture because the pink flower is in really good focus. One thing I would change would be to either crop the bottom or put it in better focus.

Fair_Spoons

I like the angle of this photo and how the spoons cast shadows on the wall. I also like how the spoons are arranged like flowers in the ground. This is a cropped photo because the original photo had a corner of a window in it. If I could change one thing about this photo I would make the spoons be in more clear focus.

Garner_Icy Drinks

I took this picture for the "extraordinary objects" project. It is of corks that I put in the snow, while there was still snow. I took it at about 4 pm with helped the lighting. I like the way the snow is transparent enough to be able to see the name on the cork through the ice. I think this is one of the better pictures I have taken so far this year, because I put thought into the set up and put it together instead of it being spontaneous. 

Palencia_Butterfly

I took this photograph a week ago for the extraordinary ordinary project. I took this photograph at a small park near loring arena. I how the clouds make a interesting background. I also like the color of the butterfly and how the ambient light shines through the butterfly.

Bache_Candy Cane

 

I took this photo on a cloudy day in my sunroom, midafternoon. I really liked the high contrast between the peppermint red and the white of the candycane. I also think the crisp focus of the wrapper draws the viewer in and creates a good interesting image.

Duchaney_Candle Holders

I took this with my Canon Powershot SX110IS on macro indoor setting of some candle holders on a window sill in my aunt's house. I really like how it is not readily apparent what the subject is or even its size. I also like how it is divided into distince thirds or dark, light, dark. I also like the crisp focus. However, I wish the bright side was not so overexposed.

Reichart_bird

I liked this picture because the colors were bright and out of all the pictures I took of this bird, this was the clearest one. Although there is a fence in between, I didn't think it was too distracting in the picture. 

MacDougall_Reflection

I took this photo the other day after school. This is a reflection from a sun roof window in the school parking lot. I like how the photo looks sort of grey because the window was tinted pretty dark. I also like how dark the trees are and how they are almost like silhouettes. I also like the contrast between where the sky is, between the clouds, and where the sun is and how its overexposed.

Palencia_Orange

I took this photograph on Tuesday before vacation. The only light I used was the available light coming from the windows in the living room. I like this photograph because of all the details . It's an interesting image to look at because the orange doesn't look "perfect".  I also like how focused the orange in the front is compared to the one in the back. I like that he background doesn't take away from the orange.

Garner_Light Box

           

I took this picture this weekend after I built a light box for the photography project. This was one of my test photos but I ended up liking the way it came out. I had the light angled behind the object so that the light was lighting up the background more. I edited it and turned it into black and white. I like it so much more in black and white because the shadows are more noticeable. It is also more flattering to the eye. The little wrinkles on the ground of the picture are less noticeable in the black and white photo.
