let it snowww

1/50 F 5.0
exposure:0.0
ISO 2500
I like the highlights in the icicles and the reflections off the windows. The yellow glow adds warmth to the picture. But I don't like the graniness

Chairs

Last weekend I went to Maine. There was a lot of snow. I took some pictures in there. I like this pictures, I think the chairs are very interesting.

winter night

1/80 F3.5
exposure: 0.0
ISO 2500
I chose this picture because I like the compostion and how the flow of the picture goes from dark (the top right hand corner) to light (the lower left hand corner). I think the grainyness gives the picture texture opposed to a crisp shot.

in Grand Cayman Islands

This picture was taken in the Grand Caymans. It actually was somewhat of an accident. I was taking a picture of the sunset and he walked in. I loved the way his hat looked and the way you could see his facial features so I took it anyway. I took it at 1/2000 of a second which made him come out as a complete sillhouette.

Monday, December 22

I took this during one of the calm points of the snow storm. It was taken through a window with no flash. I like the angle and how it focused on the house and everything els on the right is blurned out, and only has a little light.

On Thursday

On Thursday there was many snow! The school started one hour late. I had a lot oh time, so I waked around the hallway. I saw the very strange a trail of cars. It was very funny. I took this no flash.

Saturday, December 20

I took this picture a few weeks ago and just never really got around to posting it. It's a rock thats been by my house since we moved here and is way too big to move. The main reason i like this picture is because it almost lacks in colors except a little bit in the foreground and in the back.

christopher

i chose to post this picture because i liked the color of the sky - and i like the two damage dots on the right side. 
i like how Chris is yellow ish because of the contrast between him and the blue.
it's a polaroid- so the settings were all automatic. Flash. ( :/ )
i really enjoy polaroids.

Sunset

This picture was taken late in the afternoon, as the sun was setting. I did not use flash and the camera was on automatic settings. I think the glare towards the center of the picture is a bit distracting, but other than that I like this picture

* snowflakeeeee *

1/640 F3.5
-1.0 exposure
ISO80
I like this picture because of the lighting and shadows. The designs on the blinds are a little distracting but other than that I like the shadow of the dark vertical lines from the overlapping shades.

hotdogdog

I enjoy this picture because I love the way my dog actually has emotion in the picture. My brother was holding her and she started barking at horses. My dog isnt very smart, so she thought she could take them on. This picture makes me laugh, so i posted it. But i took it in b/w and at 1/50 shutter speed with no flash around two o clock.

In the gas station

I took this picture in the gas station. I was the first time to go to the gas station. This was the self service, I was very suprised. In Korea, there are employees, so we don't do by oneself. I like the hose in this picture and I like the red and blue colors.

Sun Burst

I chose this picture because I love the rays that burst from the sun. It was taken on my fish eye lens at a lake in Hudson. The settings were about F16 and 1000 Shutter.

Sunday, December 14

I took this at thanksgiving. No flash, around 2 or 3pm. I like the reflection in the glass. and how you can see the bottom of a glass, in the reflection

Steeple

This picture was taken late in the afternoon just before the sun was setting. There was no flash used. I like how the light was hitting only part of the steeple.

Saturday, December 13

radiant glow

1/160 F stop 3.5
-1.0 exposure
ISO 80
This picture was taken around 1:15 PM on a clear afternoon. I love the highlights caught in our eyes and hair and how the lighting gives us a glow..it's not too bright and not too subtle. I also like how I took it at a slant and how the treebranches and bark make a good bacground. I did not have my tripod with me, so taking this picture with one could have prevented camera shake and helped this turn out more crisp.

Christmasy #2

I just thought it would be kindof interesting, since Meghan commented on my first picture saying that it would be cool to focus in on the snow. I agree and I think that the snow is such an interesting part of the picture. This is a picture that I tried to focus in on the snow. I didnt know if I really liked the picture, so I'm glad meghan said something. This has just about the same settings as the previous picture. If you look close enough right at the focused point you can actually see an individual snowflake and its shape. :)

Christmasy!

This picture was taken when it snowed this weekend :) I took it before all the snow fell off the leaves around 11 o clock. I used super macro and center weighting to focus on the red berry. I used an apeture of 2.7 and a shutter speed of 1/250. I thought it was in the spirit of christmas coming up :)

Sunday, December 7

I'm not sure the setting on my camera, i just know I didnt us use the flash. I like this picture b/c the rays coming from the moon, and the silhouette in the lower right corner, of the tree

through window

This picture was taken at a restaurant around 9 at night. I took it through a window and it was raining outside. I was trying to get a picture of the navy ship yard that was on the other side of the water. When I took it, the reflection from inside the restaurant also showed up. I don't remember what the settings of the camera were, but I did not use flash.

at the top of the stairs

I took no flash. Because on the right side of the table there is sun light. I think this picture is interesting. Because I took this at the top of the stairs, so angle is interesting.

Through the Looking Glass

I took this picture at my friends house around 3:00 in mid october. I don't really remember any of the settings on the camera. i like this picture because it has warm colors in the background, but a bit cooler tones in the front.

berries fall from the sky

I took this picture around 12:30 on a cloudy day. The ISO was 400, the exposure was at -1.0, and 1/4 F-stop 3.5. I like how some of the twigs are in sharp focus and the prickles on the berry are too. I also like the simplicity of colors in this picture with just the blues whites and greys. I don't really like the twig in the middle that is completely out of focus..I think it is really distracting.

Jealous Claws

This was taken in an Asian restaurant in Ashland called Fusion. My hand is contorted funny in front of a wall that is back lit green (sometimes it's blue). I love how you can see the details in the wall and even my ring. The settings were roughly F. 8and 1/250 shutter.

Shards of Life

This was taken around 3pm on my fish-eye lens. The settings were around F.10 and 1/400 shutter. I like the reflection on the shards of glass of Siobhan.

berries and tree

I took this picture around 1:30 in Maine. I took it at 1/80 shutter speed and used f 5.6. I focused in on the berries and the spiral vine thing on the tree becasue i thought they were nifty. that is all :)

mr horse

I took this in Maine over thanksgiving. The sun was setting behind the horses leg and the shutter speed was at 1/160 so that the horse had more detail. I like the way you can feel kindof up close and personal with the horse. :)

Monday, December 1

I took this at a show in Boston. It was taken with no flash. I chose it b/c i like the way the metal looks purple from light above it. It is blurry, but I like it b/c you get to see more of the colors, and it makes it interesting to look at.

In the mall

I went to the natic mall. (I'm not sure the spelling.) Everything was decorated by Christmas. There were many Christmas trees. I took one. I like light and color in the ceiling. I took a normal way and no flash.
   I took this picture on my digital camera, and it wasn't very sunny out.
The ISO was set to 200, f15, 3.5
:)

graffiti

This is a picture of graffiti on a brick wall taken through a fence. It was a dark and cloudy day, so I used flash. I really like how the wall is in focus and the fence is not.

time!

I had some fun editing this picture. I took this picture in an antique store. The lighting comes from the cabinet it was inside. I took the picture in sepia and made the picture look grainy to make it look old fashioned. =)

attempt to silhouette

I thought this was perfect lighting in order to get a silhouette since I had trouble taking silhouettes before. Although the whole bacground isnt fully lit to emphasize the outline, i still like how there is some detail in the silhouette. This picture was taken right before sunset around 4:15 PM

Solo Dart-man

I was accompanying  my sister to her band practice last week and i was there to take pictures. Her friend, Darter, had a few solos, and with my camera set on night vision, which has a slow shutter speed [i'm not sure of the exact iso, though] and i had my camera set to black and white. the flash was off and we were in a dimly lit area.

Church

Last week, I went to the church. After the service, I went out. The sky was so dark. I think I took this picture at 5 o'clock.

Fly Away

I chose this picture because I love how delicate it looks having the butterfly perched on my finger. This was taken at the Monarch Place in Southdeerfield. I think the ISO setting was 800 and i'm not sure about the rest.

Precious Gift

I chose this picture because I really like the lighting. I feel the sparkles in the ball makes it even more alluring. This picture was taken at 11pm in the Shaw's parking lot. The light is coming from the street lights and the shadows are from the rain pouring down on the car we were in. I don't remember the exact settings, I was just goofing around with the camera.

The face of the hill

I was trying to take pictures of the top of a train that we have in my backyard, and in order to do that i had to climb on top of this hill to get it. After i got a few shots of the train, I semi-fell off of the hill of mulch i was standing on, and then decided to take pictures of my footprints. Since it ended up looking a little like a face, i decided to post it, thinking it was more interesting than a train. My camera was on the landscape setting without a flash, but I'm not sure of the ISO. The sky was just turning cloudy and it was around 2:00 in the afternoon.

Fire

This a a close up of the flame in our pellet stove. There was no flash used. I like it because the fire is all going up to the left and the angle in interesting.

Light

I took this when I was at my friends house. It was in her room. It was taken around 2pm. It was the only light on in the room, and the shades were closed. I like how it is focused on one bead, and the rest are blured in the backround. I there was no falsh
I took this picture on my film camera also. It was taken at a freight yard. i liked the way the graffiti looked.
I took this picture on my mamiya/sekor film camera. It was a cloudy, rainy day, and i set my asa to 400, when my film speed was at 200- so it's saturated.

eerie sunset

I like this picture because of the silhouette of the trees and how they appear to be touching the sky. I did not use flash but i think that the overexposed look makes it more interesting. This was taken from Bowditch field lookin across union ave at around 4:15 PM. The sun could be mistakened for the moon if the sky was darker. If I knew how to minimze the amount of light that hit the camera so that it would not be overexposed, it would have been less harsh.

Stars & Moons

I took this picture in a shop during late afternoon on a rainy day. It was taken on automatic settings with the flash on. I like the angle it was taken from and how it bleeds out of the picture and the shadows that are cast off from it onto the ceiling.

Protest

This photo was taken at a protest in downtown Portsmouth during early afternoon. It was raining and very cloudy out. Vibration reduction was used for this picture. I can't remember whether or not I used the flash or what the camera settings were.

big church

This picture was taken inside of a church in Canada. There was very low light in the church and it was a gloomy day outside. There was no flash used and the shutter speed was at 1/30 to capture the darkness of the church and to prevent some graininess.

Mary!

I think this picture is kind of interesting. It was of little miniature statues of mary in a gift shop. I like the way the mary on the left is tipped over. It was taken indoors using super macro at a shutter speed of 1/30.

Lamp

I took this picture in my friend's house. In stairs there was the lamp. I liked the shadow of the lamp, so I took it. I didn't use flesh. There was just that light.

Ghost

This picture was taken a few days after Halloween on a cloudy day during late afternoon. It was taken with no flash and with a vibration reduction lense. I like how the colors in the picture are very subtle and are not too vibrant in this picture.

starry night

This is a picture of my wallet. I did not use flash. The over exposed area in the top left is from the light directly ahead in the classroom. I used a hot pink peice of paper to reflect some colorful light onto the wallet. My camera was not on a macro setting so it is not in crisp focus but overall I like how it came out.
