Composition

  • Frame within Frame

    The frame that is being framed by the photo is the altar of my cousin’s wedding. The white cloth and flowers frame the mountains and scenery inside of it. I attempted to frame the subject so that the cloth and flowers are on the edges but still visible, and not blocking anything in the…

  • Food

    My view of food has evolved significantly over the years. It’s even drastically changed since I joined MVHS and Freestyle Academy in my Junior year. Depicted in this photo is a Cosmic Crisp apple, my favorite variety, along with Honey Crisp apples. At first, I struggled to make this photo interesting, but then I…

  • Depth of Field

    This photo demonstrates depth of field because the car in front is in focus while the foreground is not. You can see that my dad’s hands, the steering wheel, the seat, and the seatbelt are all blurry and out of focus, while the road and the car ahead are in focus. The car is…

  • Viewpoint

    It feels strange seeing your home from way up high. All the buildings that seemed so big, look really tiny from far away. Your life and everything you know is reduced to an inch and a half of photograph. There are some things you never get to see when you live in a valley.…

  • Color Theory

    This is an image of three photos I took that I photoshopped together. I edited the color of each of the photos and created a layer mask to stack them on top of each other and create a surreal affect.

  • Low Angles

    This is a low angle photograph of maple leaves. I saw the way that the light bled through the leaves, and knew I had to take a photo! I used a lower f-stop to blur out the background, emphasizing the three big leaves at the front and center of the image.

  • Rule of Thirds Emotion

    To me, this photo creates a feeling of serenity, of a magical, fantastical, natural world of ivy crawling up the trees whose branches twist and entangle into the sky. I like the appearance of the tree on the rule of thirds line, which is misshapen in several places, giving it an old, wise look.…

  • Fill the Frame

    The prompt for this photoblog was to “fill the frame.” I was inspired to fill the frame with tree branches, while also isolating a single object, in this case the telephone pole, using the rule of thirds. I like that the frame of the leaves creates an interesting shape and the lines of the…

  • Exit

    The bushes above line a path that leads your eyes out of the photo. This path is an exit, for your eyes to leave the picture. Now, as we head into our last weeks of school, this path represents our exit out of this school year, and into summer. This year at Freestyle has…

  • Tell a Lie

    This photo is a lie. It looks like it was taken on a warm, sunny day, but it was actually cold and windy. Just outside of the frame, the sky is full of grey clouds. Behind me, the sky is completely grey, and no blue is visible. I framed the photo so you can…
