Dazzling Lights


This picture was taken in Disneyland a few weeks ago. I had to take a picture of the classic tea cups and this photo is taken when it was dark. I like the contrast and how the colors smear; it kind of looks like light painting but not quite. I didn’t edit it at all because I like how it is. Overall I’m happy with it.

This is Real Drifting


 
This photo was taken at the race track in Kent, Wa. To explain this photo more thoroughly, Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. This photo I shot is a picture of a Nissan Skyline GT-R; this car was sliding sideways through the track going up to 70-80 MPH the whole time! This photo really brings me in, because this car is a illegal car anywhere on the streets in the U.S (known as the SUPER CAR), and most of all it wasn’t just going straight, the car was going completely sideways. I must admit, doing what I love, taking pictures of what I love was that best part of this photo actually.  The photo’s aperture was F13, shutter speed was 1/80, ISO was 800, and the white balance was on SHADE. I also bumped up the contrast on the edges of the car to make it sharp, and also bumped up the sharpness of the car.

Long Way to Go


I took this photo around the beginning of October with my friend Priscilla. I took a lot of photos of her on the train tracks and this came out as my favorite. I made it black and white and added a fate tint. I like how I used rule of thirds and not put her directly in the middle of the photo. Overall I am really happy with this photo.
