For our color theory prompts, I took a picture of a red flower with its green leaves in the background. This make the red flower pop out more because red contrasts with green. Similarly, I got up really close to the flower to make sure that it took up the majority of the frame space, really showing that the flower […]

For “Gratitude” I decide to take a picture of these mushrooms that started growing in the cool shade of December. They are attached to a large tree and have a friendly bit of moss as their neighbor. Little things like these can sometimes bring me more joy than something with a large or with a big presence.

The prompt for this photo was, “fill the frame” meaning that we had to fill the photo with the same subject, patter, or color. For this photo I decided to take a picture of a succulent near the entrance to my house. This fills the frame with the same color, pattern, and subject all at once. I used a really […]

For this photo we had to fill the majority of the photo with empty space, in order to highlight the subject. Of course I took this oppurtunity to take a picture of my birds.

The prompt for this photo was to isolate a subject by putting them in the center of a frame. This shot is of my sister standing at the edge of a view from a hike. She looks out into the distance feeling accomplished of what she has complete so far.

The prompt for this photo was balance in holiday traditions. Interpreted this as showing one of the holiday traditions that my family has. We always drive up this road to reach the Christmas Tree lot where we can cut down the tree ourselves. We would play a game where before the trip stats we would guess the number of Christmas […]

The prompt of this photo was “use leading lines to show the concept of infinity”. I knew that I could easily use a gate or floorboards to make leading lines, but I really wanted to do something else. I eventually gave up and took a photo in my elementary school garden, but as I was leaving I realized that the […]
