Santos_Grass

This is a picture I took on a sunny afternoon. I genuinely like this picture because of all the dimensions and basically the perspective. The fact that it was shot from the ground makes it original and interesting. I like that there are some type of layers there's the dirt, the grass and the "rest". I also like that 1/3 of the picture on the top is out of focus but it is a very different color and has some sort of "out of focus details". The image is very colorful, and it has a good amount of texture. I really think this is one of my favorites pictures i've taken this year.

 I took this photo on a sunny day while i was shooting for the action assignment.  the subjects of the photo are in direct sunlight while i was in the shade.  I like the colors and the contrast in this photo.  I also like the focus and the clarity.  Lastly, i like how it captures the players focusing on the game.  The only thing i would change about this photo is the harsh shadows due to direct sunlight.

I took this picture of two palm trees at night when i was in florida this past april vacation. I love this photo in so many ways. I love the shade of blue of the sky in the photo and how it makes the palm trees pop. I also really like how the moon is present and how the two trees are coming out of the corner of the photo. I love the different shades of green in the palms and especially the vividness in the photo. It is rare because it was at night but i luckily had a great camera and borrowed from my dad.

The first photo is the original photo and the second photo is the edited photo. I decided to go with black and white because when you get to the middle of the photo it cuts off the path to get outside of the garage and it also questions on how that car all the way in the back left corner got to that spot. The clarity difference from the first to the edited is also very significant.

I took this photo the other day before I was about to go out. I like this photo because the lighting is not to harsh, it has a soft/faded look to it.

I took the first photo using my camera, without flash, and using the macro setting. I really like this photo because I like the flare of light coming from the top left side of it. I also really like how clear clear the photo is and how the pink really pops out. The depth of field is also very nice; some of the flowers are in focus and the rest of the photo is generally out of focus. The light pink color really adds to the photo and makes it very beautiful. I also enjoyed how the light hits the flowers and the leaves. In the second photo, I also took it under the same circumstances listed above. I like that a few buds in that photo are in focus and the rest of the photo is generally out of focus. The blues and whites in the background really make the photo very unique. I like the light pink colors in this photo as well.

I took this picture near wayside inn. The light that day was not too harsh. I like the red of the red of the mill contracts with the rest of the picture and the flow of the white water. Another thing that I like about the picture is the position of everything.

 I chose this photo for this weeks post because I thought this photo was a nice still photo. In the original photo on top I like the vibrant color of violet-purple color on the flower compared to the top of the flower has a little bit of light pink to it. I like the angle of this photo because the flower is almost completely centered and the flower is almost completely straightly aligned. I also like that the flower is the only object in focus and the rest of the background isn't. I like the lighting in this photo because it isn't too harsh on the quality of the photo. It also isn't extremely bright that it could be less interesting to look at. I like the effect with the mulch is out of focus because it creates a kind of wavy pattern in this photo. I also like the green grass around the flower because it adds nice contrast to this photo. In the second photo I edited the color of the photo. I boosted the color of the grass, mulch and the saturation of the flower to make this photo have a different point of view and perspective. I also like the different color of the mulch in the edited photo because it looks more interesting and colorful to the viewer. In the bottom photo I desaturated the color of the photo to make this photo have a balance of whites, grays, and blacks to this photo. I also like the glowing shade of white in the bottom photo because it makes this photo stand out more to the viewer. I also like the way the flower looks like in black and white because it adds a good contrast to the rest of the photo. I took this photo about a week and a half ago outside of school, without flash, using auto focus adjustments, macro, and auto iso settings. In the edited photos I used Picasa to change the saturation, boost the color, created an old-fashioned film effect on Picasa, and in the bottom photo I used the holga-ish effect on Picasa to make this photo balance the whites and black color for this photo.

Teddy_2014 pin

I took this photo on the last day of the senior's classes two weeks ago. I found someone's 2014 pin on a tassel in the hallway and decided to take a photo of it. I like the different variety of colors in the photo. The golds, the yellows, blues, and the brown on the table makes the photo have an interesting feel to it. I like it how the background is blurred near the back, whereas the 2014 and part of the tassel is in focus. It makes it really interesting, especially with the gold shimmering into the camera makes it look unique. The only thing I wish I could have changed would have been to have the 2 on the 2014 be in more focus as well as the other numbers, other than that I think it was a great photo that I took.
