Jubilance

I’m a huge black and white fan, so I love this photo in those tones. I caught her in a moment of laughter, which put a natural smile on her face and gives the photo a more relaxing feel. In post-processing, all I did was add a little vignette and brightened up her a face a bit to make it stand out. Then I added the black and white and put a bit of a purple-ish tint in there to make it more unique. The one thing I would change is that I would have moved a little more to the left so that she’d be more on a third of the photo. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

This is a picture of my two cats that I absolutely adore! I took many pictures of them, but I finally got them in a good shot. Both of the cats are looking out my door because they heard a noise. I changed the color to black and white and kept the cats in color. I like how both cats are in focus.

Ladybug Love

I took this photo for a common object project and my prop was a lady bug that I have in my room. I chose her photo because her jacket matched well with the lady bug. After getting the photo I cropped off some of the sides, burned the background and dodged the subject (person and prop).

Breaking Through

I took this picture while I was in down town Tacoma looking for shapes to create a collage for a project. I was mainly on the search for street signs but then I came across the Glass Museum. The lighting made the blue stand out and after adjusting the levels and curves I found it looked unique. I like this picture because it makes you look twice. It might be a tad bit burned out, but I love it.

Dog Tired

This is my dog Gracie, she’s a bijon-frishe-shitzu mix. She’s about 2 years old, and she’s so much fun. I took this a while ago right before I went to bed. She followed me to my room, stopped in the middle of the hall way & just layed down, it was a camera moment! I really like the way the focus is & how the depth of field looks. I also used rule of thirds to make the subject look even better. She’s such a cutie.

Blinded By the Light

This photo happened kind of on accident. I was trying to take fence pictures for a project and I wasn’t really focused. But I saw this cool angle and took the picture. I enjoy how the light accents the fence. It’s almost as if the sun rays are the leading lines of the picture. I wish those glare spots weren’t there, but I still like it.

Memories

For this photo, I decided to take the picture up close to try to enhance the “Cadillac” symbol on the back of the car. I love the way it came out because it shows great depth of field and you can see the reflection of the trees in the car. It was taken during the fall so the color of the car is great for the theme of the month. What I love about this as well is if you look closely, the car has a different license plate it’s out of state and I grew up in that car when I was a little girl. So it really brings back memories and that’s why I chose my grandmother’s car.

The Matrix

As the day was coming to an end, the sun came out during a foggy cloudy day. I noticed the reflection off of my friend’s Toyota and the shadows cast upon his car. What I did was set my camera to a high shutter  speed. But I didn’t I realize that I had a high iso and it turned out really good. What I did to the picture was I added a vignette to add more affect into the picture. Also, I used a photo filter in order to get that warm feeling of the Matrix.

Red Hoodie

This picture was taken at a lake. We were doing a depth of field project. And this was one of my best shots. I turned the background gray because the colors in the background were really green so it looked like Christmas. In the back ground is a lake and I like the reflection in the back.
