Garner_Old Fashion

I love this picture as well as this camera. I think the angle I took this at is the normal angle some one would take it. I was able to sharpen the picture. I like the way the coiled body of the camera fades into the distance of the black container. I like the shadows as well as the sleek lines. 

Garner_Camera Fun

The top picture is the original. I took is with my Canon Rebel on the "no flash" setting. I put the lens on manual focus. I took my film camera and placed it on my mom's craft table, which provided the bright white base. I took white canvas boards and placed then behind to cover up the brown wall behind. The one thing I noticed after I took the picture was that the canvas boards created seems in the background.  

Once I began editing, I first changed the photograph to black and white. Next I changed the brightness, contrast, shadows and the highlights. After that I changed the color temperature, the tint, and the saturation. I was able to blur the lines out and make the lens more of a focal point. I love the way the light hit the lens to give high lights to the outer rims of it. I surprised myself on this one.   

Brossi_Pens

I took this picture of my homework. I liked how the colors went together and the layout of the pens and the notebooks.  I think the different horizontal and vertical lines throughout this picture really make the photo more interesting. It is also taken at an angle where you wouldn't normally look at a notebook.  This was taken with overhead light and no flash.

Reichart_window shade

 

I took this picture over break when there was some snow outside which is why outside there is a lot of white light coming through. I took this picture with the macro setting so that I could be really close to the object and have most of the picture in focus. For example, I like how you can see the blades on the shade and little details in the cord.  

Palencia_ Socks

I took this picture in my room during Christmas vacation. I was babysitting a 6 year old girl who takes ballet classes. She let me take a few pictures of her, I also used the available light that came from the window. I like this picture because you can see the dress she is wearing and the polka dot socks. I also like the way her feet look, they seem to be in good formation, I originally took this picture in black and white.

Lanefski_Shell

I took this photograph on the no-flash setting with a Nikon D3200. I like this photograph because you can see the details on the shell and on the old leather on the couch. I like the shadow also. I cropped the picture because there was a distracting corner of dark brown in the upper left corner.

Bache_Snow

I took this photo outside Marian High. It is a photo of the marian outdoor trash cans. There was a pile of snow stacking up on the sides of the trash barrel. I took it facing directly down and had my camera set on the macro setting to get crisp focus of the closer up view of the subject.

Dilbarian_ dead flowers

This is a photo that I took in my room of a rose that had died.  I like this picture because of the angle.  Since the flower is dead, and drooping, I had to take the picture underneath it and looking up.  I love how clear and focused the photo is.  I also like how you can see the veins and and the brown and dead edges of the flower.  The one thing I don't like about the picture is the background.  i wish i could have gotten more leaves to fill the overexposed, negative space in the bottom left and aroud the top.   

Garner_Optical Illusion

I took this picture with my canon rebel. It was set on automatic with no flash. I like this photo because it seems like an optical illusion. It technically is a picture of the ceiling in the fourth floor stair case but it looks like your looking down at the ground. 

Flavia_Waterfall Too

This is a photo of the same waterfall just at a slightly different angle. I like this photo because of the reflections of the sun and how you can see more of the ice in the waterfall. Also the moving water is not blurry. The only thing that is really distracting is the branch right in front of the photo. I could not really do anything about the branch because the bridge was straight so I could not move away from the branch, which disappointed me.

Flavia_Waterfall

I took this photo today of the Charles River waterfall in Newton-Wellesley. I really like the angle to took the photo because usually you are looking at the waterfall from faraway and straight. I was on a bridge over the waterfall which made the angle different. In the photo I like how there is a sharp reflection of the sun. I also like how the water splashing is not as blurry as moving things are usually while taking photos. 

Duchaney_Quarters

I took this with my Canon PowerShot SX110IS on macro setting. I chose to put the Connecticut quarter on top because I really liked the intricate detail of the tree's branches. I wish the whole top of the qurter was in the clear focus rather than just the bottom half. I also think the shine was a little bright towards the top left.

Tomlinson_House

I took this photo for my second term project. it was taken with the landscape setting and with the available light.

MacDougall_Plant

I took this photo a few weeks ago for the Styles Project. This is a plant in my kitchen window. I used the available light from the window and I believe this was taken in mid-to-late afternoon. I really like the bottom photo because I like all of the values. I think that the colors in the top photo are too dull so I think that the values from the black and white photo show the shadows much better. I also like the light on the right side and how the rays from the glare are visible. It makes it a lot more intriguing to look at. Especially since the leaves are slightly transparent and you can see the other leaves and petals behind it.

McGrath_Cross

I took this picture of the corner stone of Marian's convent a few weeks ago. It wasn't too sunny out, but I think that the picture looks better in lighting than it would have on a sunny day. I like that there are branches running over the bricks because it makes the picture more interesting. At first I only took a picture of the brick that read "1956", but I realized capturing the bricks at an angle would make it a much better picture.

Condon_Candle

I took this picture last night at a restaurant in Boston. It was a very dark room with just one candle on each table. I like this picture because the only light is the candle. Also, there are nice details in the candle wax & there is a nice reflection from the candle on the back of the jar. I took this with no flash.

Fair_Portrait

This is a portrait of Emily that I used for the Portraits 123 assignment. I really like this photo because of her expression. At the time this photo was taken it was windy and it caused her hair to move. I like the movement it created and I think it made the photo more interesting. I think that making this portrait black and white made it look more mysterious. Unfortunately, I do not have the original color photo saved.

Bubello_TennisBall

I took this photo in my backyard without flash and using the macro setting. I really liked this photo because of the detail of the tennis ball. I also liked the depth of field in this photo. The ball is very clear in focus and the snow is slightly out of focus. I also enjoyed the contrast between the yellow of the ball and the white of the snow that really allows for the tennis ball to jump out.
