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.

Lanefski_Mask

I took this with my Nikon D3200. I took this in a well naturally lit room. I really like the colors on the mask. I like the small details in the paper and things used to make the mask. One thing I do not like is the distracting background. 

Cha_Houses of Parliament

This is the picture when I traveled in London. This is the picture of Houses of Parliament with Big Ben. I think this is the one of pictures that I think it is pretty well-focused. Even though I took this picture from far, I barely see blur but it is crisp. If I have to mention failure of the pictures, I see the little part of one's shoulder on the edge of left bottom of the picture. Beside this fact, I love this photo.

Flavia_Shine Bright Like a Diamond

This is a photo of an earring. I took this photo on a desk at school. I really like how the diamond is very detailed. Its detailed because I used super marcophotography. The back piece of the earring is blurred out in the background, which I think it gives the photo perspective.

Duchaney_Sunrise

I took this photo a long time ago for the Let Me Tell You About _ project with my Canon Powershot SX110IS. I did this project on my commute to school every day, and I knew how beautiful this field looked in the morning, so I made sure to be at this spot early on a Saturday. I love the symmetry of this photo, both vertically and horizontally. I also love the fact that, even though the trees and land are in front of the sun, they are not simply black shadows nd sillhoettes, and you can also see some detail in them.

Palencia_Birthday

Today I went to my cousins birthday. She turned six years old today. I took this photograph indoors, and used the macro setting on my camera.  I like both of these photographs because of the depth of field, I like that in both the paper is focused but then it unfocused. I think my favorite is the bottom one because the confetti paper is coming from the side. I also like it because it looks balanced to me, the upper right  triangle  is paper and lower left triangle has more empty space.

Dilbarian_ sand and stones

   I took this picture outside my favorite restaurant in New Hampshire.  Right outside the restaurant is a a waterfront and a marsh.  I took this picture around mid day but it was really cloudy and windy.  I like the angle of the photo and the way the wind is creating tiny ripples in the water.  I also like the way the 2 bigger rocks draw your eyes to the back and center of the photo.  Even though there isn't a lot of color in the photo i like the dull blue reflection of  the sky in the water.

Reichart_Fountain

I took this picture last weekend when I went to the Boston Flower show. My camera was on the landscape setting and with no flash. This was one of my favorite designs because I liked the fountain, and how everything in the "garden" was symmetrical. I only wish that the overhead lights weren't as bright because I think parts are over exposed.   

Namubiru_Fan

This is a fan that I photographed with direct fluorescent lighting. It's sort of dusty because it hasn't been used since last summer, but I like the focus points on it. I love the highlights on the metal rims of the fan, and I also like the angle at which I took this photo from. I also like the rims at the front that are blurred out because of the dimension they give this photograph.

Tomlinson_Fire

I took this photo indoors during one of the blizzards. I just used the light that was produced from the fire

Fair_Uniform

I like this photo because you can see the deatils in the fabric. I like the way is is not completly stratched flat, it has a bend in it.

Brossi_Pond

I took this picture on Saturday morning. I was on a walk and noticed how beautiful the sky lit up behind the trees and how the sun made the water bright and shiny. I like how the shaddows reflect off the snow and how smooth the water looks behind the jagged trees. I used no flash
