Woof! Woof!

This photo was taken at a dog park in Puyallup, Washington. I was taking pictures of my dog; it was harder than it looked because he wasn’t cooperating because he wanted to play with the other dogs. I had taken a close up picture of him while it was bright and sunny outside. The picture was really vivid and bright but I decided to change it to black and white to set a sadder toned photo to go with my dog’s expression.

Neverending Creek

I took this picture at my aunt’s house.  I really like how this picture has so many rocks and grasses sticking out of the water and you can see the grass under the water.  If you look closely you can see bridges in the back, over the water that we still use today.  It is also pretty cool that you can see the water running.  In the top corner there was a blue tarp and I used the clone tool to get rid of it. I also adjusted the contrast to make the colors more vivid.  Overall, I am pretty proud of this picture, one thing that does bother me though is the glare on the water, besides that I like it.

Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit

I took this picture at the Passion Pit concert at the Moore Theatre in Seattle on November 30^th of 2010. I haven’t edited this picture in any way because I don’t really think it needed it. The blue lighting in the background is from the lights they had on stage. I used my friends Fujifilm Fine Pix S1500 and got a ton of awesome pictures.

Why Not?

I took this picture my freshman year when I was taking a photography class based solely on the dark room. I did not use a camera to take this picture; I used the enlarger and played around with a fresh piece of photo paper.  The assignment was to Think of your favorite quote and match a picture up with it. I burned in the different cutouts and then burned in the quote.  I recently scanned my picture and cropped  the edges and slightly changed the tone. I would like it better if the quote was more centered, but over all I like the feel of the picture.

Big Ben

I took this picture when I was on my way to the London eye. I figured I would just take some pictures or whatever. And when I went through them I really like how Big Ben popped. Then I went to Photoshop and brightened the colors just a little more to get Big Ben to stand out more.  I liked the sky in the background I was really lucky to get it at the right time. The down side of Photoshop is it didn’t keep the darker blue of the sky. The dark blue sky would have made a good contrast with the bright Big Ben.
