Eyes

The eyes of my dog Riviera are extremely dark which suck the light out of photo which I think has a really cool effect over the photo. She also has more a blur on the photo which I actually think makes it more like a painting sort of photo which is pretty cool.

Center Frame Portrait

I this setup was really cool because I utilized this crack in my table that helped me prop up the card and add some effect. I also lowered the f-stop and got in close to the card to add the blur in the background to bring out the Center Frame effect even more.

New Begginings

I selected this image for the new beginnings because I think it really captures the erupting pods that are giving life to these beautiful vibrant flowers all around. I also love the coloring that is potrayed here because the pop of the natural red which compliments the green makes me feel happy.

Water

This was a important photo that displays the flower covered in little water droplets from the sky. I really like how the leaves give it a darker background compared to the lighter flower in the foreground. I was not sure how I could have made the photo more sharp, but I think if the white…

The first photo setting was the auto white balance, that felt cold, and a lot darer tone, while…

Leading Lines

I like this photo because the color really attracts the eyes to the two flowers, but also the parallel lines between the fence, and the leaves and stems, also is all kind of leading to these bright flowers which are the center of attention. While some eyes would be drawn to the middle fence post,…

Sunsets

This photo was actually special because I believe it was more at sunrise, when I was out fishing with my friends on the lake, which was a very special moment for me. I like how the sun contrasts the water and there is that line that goes down the middle of the water of light,…

Weight or Mass

This photo I believed was a nice contrast of the light feeling of the distinct clouds int he background with the bright light from the sun, with the very dark background along with the trees that form this feeling of lightness and darkness and heaviness. I used the highest amount of settings on the camera…
