natural light

I chose this picture because there was a significant amount of available sunlight. Although the harsh shadow covers the top of his head, it adds depth to the picture. I like the highlights in his eyes and on his skin however the light reflecting off his white shirt makes it over exposed.  

Burst of Light

I decided to post this picture because i adore the colors streaming from the sun. This was taken through a bush, as you can see, some of the leaves are highlighted by the sun's rays and you can see the blue sky through the "cracks". I'm not sure what all the settings were but I believe the ISO was set to 200.

Racing Against Time

I chose to blog this photo because I absolutely love the warm colors and silhouette. If you look closely, you'll notice a speed boat on the water creating a V-line towards the sun as well as the reflections of trees and buildings along the water's edge. This photo was taken with the shutter speed at 1/1000 and the aperture set to 16.

 This photograph was taken on the nighttime setting of my camera, and the enviroment has extremely low garage lighting. I like all the commotion in the photograph, but I would definately change the angle I used in this, something about it bothers me, what do you think?

Last one of New York

This picture was taken in New York City when I was there a few weekends ago. New York City that night was amazing becasue the streets were wet. I was able to capture the bright lights of Radio City Music hall in this picture. It was taken at 1/6 exposure. I love the two people standing on the side becasue I love the contrast of the bright colors and their dark silhouettes.

My room

This is my room. My host mom give me two roses , so I put on the table. The light is very soft.

the National Ceme-tery

Saturday I went to the Boston!! It was great! I saw the National Ceme-tery and took some pictures. I think the light is good. So I post it.

from darkness to light

I chose this picture because this is not what the sky actually looked like at the time at which i took the picture. I played around with the white balance and ISO settings. In a series of shots that I took of the same area, this one was the only one with a harsh darkness on the left and the bright white gap. This picture is somewhat subtle due to its coloration of: black, grey, blue and white, however it is a captivating photo because its varying hues and the contrast.

NYC

This picture was taken in New York City of times square. I used f/2.7 and 1/30 shutter speed. I really like the depth in the picture becasue it starts at the orange sign and goes far down into times square. It almost looks like no people are in times square, which i thought was kind of interesting. =)

Film

I enjoy this picture because it's interesting and kind of perplexing. My film camera is so old crappy so whenever I get my film developed, the people who worked on it always complain about the film getting stuck in canister. In ninety percent of my rolls, there's at least one photo where the next photograph overlaps into the next one, such as this. I really like how this looks, and i think the way the left image is incredibly over exposed plays off well with the right image that's kind of ruined from my camera. 

Heaven & Earth

I chose to post this photo to the blog because I absolutely love the different spots of light that the sun gives off. This was taken in a parking lot but I like how the numerous cars give the bottom of the picture a busy atmosphere and depth. I'm not sure what F stop or shutter speed I used to get this shot because I accidentally deleted it off my camera before I could find out... >.<

Mr. Cottontail

I chose to post this picture because it is hard to get close enough to a rabbit to get a crisp and clear shot. It looks almost as if it were posing for me. This picture was taken in my backyard. I love how the bunny is directly in that strip on sunlight and behind it there is shade. The details in the fur on its face can be seen from its profile since one side is illuminated by the sun. I like the neutral coloration and lighting.

Creeper

This picture was taking during my internship at Danforth Museum of Art in the kitchen. The window in the door if the kitchen had a cool frosted look and so I had my friend Charlie stand behind it, and in turn got this creepy/cool photo. 

I don't remember what the settings were on my camera, but there was a warm ambient glow in the room, and I didn't use flash.

New York City Katie Flagg

This picture was taken in New York City this weekend at about 9 o clock. It was taken at 1/6 aperture and f 2.7. No flash was used. I really like this picture because the fog makes it look like the building is dissapearing into the sky. The light on the side was intentional to give the picture depth.

Ambient light

Ambient light is 'available' light that the photographer does not add to a shot. It is all around you - LOOK for it!, USE it, and experiement with CAPTURING life as often as you are able. Remember: "You can't get the shot if you don't have the camera!"

Favorite photo

This is my favorite picture of the year.

I love it because it is a very bright picture, and it only has two main colors in it which makes it less distracting.  I also like it because I love Music.

kathleen monahan; favourite photo

this is my favourite photo because i love the look of the reflection of the trees in the water, especially because its raining. the ripples in the pond add more to the photo as well. the lime green colour of the grass gives off the feel of summer, and it makes the photo more interesting because the green of the grass is a different shade then the green in the tree reflection. i flipped the photo upsidedown as well because i like how it makes you think about it, and how the water looks like the ground and the grass looks like the sky. i also love the way the ducks are all huddled together, and how focused they are in the photo.

Meg Staff's Best Picture

This has been one of my faveorite photos ever since i took it. I love sunsets and reflections in water so the combination of both in this picture is very appealing to me.

My Best Image

I LOVE this picture because it reminds me of a rose out of a fairy tale. The clear drops of morning dew and the frost on it's petals add so much to this picture; otherwise the only thing in the picture would be a dull,red rose with thorns. The wetness captured on the flower softens it's appearance and makes it look more precious. I just love how it stand alone...focused as vibrant and vivid in red .

Katie Flagg Favorite Picture

I chose this picture as my favorite photo because not only is it a picture of one my favorite things, but also I love the kind of day it was taken on, and the way the picture is so crisp and there is no blur in any of the runners feet or bodies. Each of them are on what looks like the same foot, and it makes for a really interesting photo.

Siobhan Mangan- Favorite picture

I chose this photograph as my favorite because I like the lighting, and the feeling of summer it gives off. The top picture of is of my favorite tree, and the bottom one is of my favorite person. I greatly enjoy the person in the photograph.  And combining photo's is fun. 

Favorite picture

this is my favorite picture because of the lighting of the picture also because of the the atmospher the picture gives off.
