Center Frame Portrait
This week’s photo challenge was to use center framed composition in a photo. I took this picture of a cute goat I saw while visiting some stables. When taking the photo I wasn’t thinking about the composition, but when looking back through the pictures I took I realized that this photo follows center frame composition, and it’s a portrait of the goat.
New Beginnings
This week’s photo challenge was to tell a story about a new beginning. My parents just bought a house in Granite Bay to move into when I graduate. This house is a new beginning for my family because it’s a new place to start fresh. The photo is of the sunset at the house reflected in the pool and overlooking some of the new land.
Trash
This weeks photo challenge was trash. I took a photo of my playground in my backyard. I used to play here all the time when I was younger now it is rotting away and turning into trash. It makes me sad but its how life is, I’ve grown out of playing on this playground.
Balance
This weeks photo challenge was balance in Accidental Renaissance. I honestly didn’t know what this meant so I looked up some examples. I attempted to follow the challenge but I don’t know if I succeeded. I had Sarah in my garden surround by my chickens. She is the focal point and the chickens are surrounding her making her stand out from them.
Hometown
This weeks photo challenge was to take a picture telling a story about your home town. This is a photo of a view point my friends and I like going to. My friends and I like to hang out here and relax. This place and Downtown Los Altos are our favorite places to hang out. I took this photo because it kind of looks over the town of Los Altos. I grew up in Los Altos.
White Balance
This weeks challenge was to use white balance for a photo that’s not necessarily color accurate. I chose to take a photo of the fire pit at my grandparents house. My original plan was to correct the white balance and make it very cool toned but, when I was messing around with white balance I found that I can make it very warm. I thought it looked better that the cool toned fire.
Leading Lines
This weeks Challenge was to use leading lines to show the concept of infinity. I tried to use a tall redwood tree as a leading line that seems to go on forever. However some of the branches did get in the way of that.
Love Story
This weeks challenge was to tell a love story in one image. I pet sit the one dog (the little one) who loves to lick my dogs face. Their love story is that they are best friends and the one shows love through licking her face. I love this photo because you can see the little dogs tongue just barley sticking out.
Weight or Mass
This weeks photo challenge was to take a photo of something that showed weight. I took a photo of a cloud because the bottom of the cloud is dark and looks heavy, while the top of the cloud is light and looks light. The trees on the bottom of the photo are dark which makes the cloud look lighter than the trees.
Symmetry Landscape
This weeks photo challenge was to take a landscape photo that is symmetrical. I chose to take a photo of my front yard because it is pretty symmetrical. The lights, rocks, and plants are all symmetrical. There are some things, like the bird statue that is not symmetrical but the majority of things are.
