  • Frame within the frame

    50mm 1/500 f4.5 ISO400 I framed this LA scene using this very bright window in a coffee shop that was giving a little bit of light to everything inside. This highlighted the busy LA street outside, and the calm earthy feeling coffee shop interior.

    50mm 1/500 f1.8 ISO400 In this photo I captured the greenery in the pond as well as the reflection of the ceiling. I like that it lets you see the architecture of the building and also the plants displayed in the building.

  • Negative Space

    67mm 1/80 f8.0 ISO125 Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz, CA. Captured from a bluff overlooking the beach at golden hour. I took this photo for the negative space prompt because the large amount of negative space makes the fisherman stand out.

  • Center Frame Portrait

    5.8mm 1/500 f2.8 ISO100 My friend in Santa Cruz, CA. I took this photo for center frame portrait because she is in the center surrounded by the ocean. I like how you can’t see her face and she is relatively far away and you don’t really get any emotions.

  • Holiday Traditions Balance

    50mm 1/500 f11.0 ISO200 This is one of our ornaments on our tree that I thought was surrounded by the tree branches nicely. The ornament has a lot going on around it, but you are still drawn to it.

    50mm 1/100 f11 ISO400 The leading lines from the path that disappears at the end and you don’t see where it goes, gives a sense of infinity.
