Butterfly

I took this photo when I went to the butterfly garden at the science museum on Friday. I like how this butterfly isn't centered and how you can't see both wings equally. I also like the crisp focus and color. However, next time, had the butterfly stayed still, I would have liked qa different angle because I find the pink flowers in the back a bit distracting.

Bird House

This picture was taken with a film camera, a few minutes into a snow storm. I like the rustic coloring of the picture that the film caused. I like the depth of feel with the plants in front of the bird house.

I probably would have used this picture for texture if i hadn't taken it yesterday :P I was fooling around with my camera because there's so much sun in my room and there was great light, and I zoomed in to get the texture of my curtains.

foggy road

this photograph was taken on a very foggy day. it was midafternoon so there was still alot of light. i really like how the trees lower in size on the right making the picture going down.

misc.

for the first photo, i aimed for it to be a "dreamy" photo of my cat. i took it with this specific background because i wanted a simple background with minimal detail, but i didnt want it to be just one plain color. the second photo was taken around the same time as the first photo. i put my other cat in the window and adjusted my camera settings and the lighting in the room so i could achieve this silhouette. for the third photo, i used natural light and i used manual focus so i could completly blur the background and get only one area of the branch in focus.

Tombstones

discarded portrait

When I printed it, her face was way to dark for me to use as a portrait, but I still like the background behind her and how the light hits her face.

MIsc. (fish)

I liked the bright bluw backround against the green neons, and the maroon. I like that they're off center, and the light behind me created both hoizontal and vertical lines to the left.

apartments

I took this picture on a cloudy afternoon. I liked the different colors of the buildings and the reflection of light in some of the windows.

Polar Bear

I chose this photo because I love the coca-cola bottle with the santa on it, and the polar bear(commonly seen drinking the bottle of coke) with a christmas bow. I like how the light is bright on one side and dark on the other. I would have liked if the bottle of soda was more visible, as was the bow, and if the couch wasn't. This is one of my holiday photos.

Misc.

I chose this picture for my post this week because i really like how the dark stone contrasts agains the icy snow. I took it around 230 on a cloundy day.

outside portrait

this is a photgraph of sarah mid afternoon. the wind was blowing and got in her face. i like the realness of her hair being messed up and not perfect. also i think the lighting on her forhead is nice.

misc.

The top one i took at night with only the chandelier light on to try and make it stand out more, and the second is just a portrait i tried to take of hillary but i moved when it went off so i ended up getting more of the staircase than of her, but i kind of like the solitude of it

Misc

I took a really nice photo from the top of the mountain I went skiing at, and the rest are from boston.

holiday

I took this picture in a rainy day. I love how the light reflects on the floor.

misc. + holiday

the first photo is a miscellaneous photo. i wanted to show the texture in the snow and in the boots. the second photo is for the holiday project. i wanted it to be a very minimalistic and simple silhouette of a small branch on my christmas tree, so i shot it from under the tree so the ceiling could be a blank background.

Green Angel

Twins!

I took these pictures after school one day using natural light. I like that they look so similar but their differences stand out.

Smile

I took this picture in the afternoon, so the light is really bright in the background. I chose to have the picture in black and white rather than sepia because the shadows contrast really well with the bright background.

These pictures were taken for my holiday project. I edited the first picture because i wanted the star to stand out the most.

another portrait

This picture was inspired by a picture my mom took of her roommate in college for a photography class :D I brightened it just a little to make her pants and hair blend with the background less, but I still wish that her hair stood out more from the background.
