f/3.5, 1/2,000, 160 This photo was taken in New Zealand the day after Argentina won the World Cup. I went there to visit my friend who is Argentinian so her whole family was ecstatic. We sailed into a white sand beach and the water was more blue than the sky it was beautiful.

f/3.5, 1/125, 120 While I was taking photos of the sunset photo blog I thought I could play around with white balance to give this photo more of a grainy and dark look. This was also so I could see the details of the waves as the light wasn’t reflected as much. I used the Fluorescent setting and it turned out cool.

f/5.6, 1/1,600, 200 I was at Stanford College and I saw a couple of my friends at the little skate park they have set up at the basketball courts. I had brought my camera to take photos of the large tower for weight and mass but I decided to use sport mode to catch them in action instead. Out of all this was the most clear and the subject jumped the highest which I thought looked the best.

Today’s mood was very overwhelming I felt like I was staring at my screen all day long. In this photo, I wanted to use a lower shutter speed to capture my movement to represent how I felt like my head was in many different places today. The dark red light also shows anger and frustration in having to complete so many things before the new week starts. The photo process did take about 5 minutes because I had to reposition my camera several times to get both me and the screen into the photo.
