Who is she under the shaded hat? What lies behind those eyes? This image is a stranger because you can’t see majority of her face, just her dress and the hat in the colorful lighting in a dark room. In this image, the aperture is F5.6, the shutter speed is 1/160, and ISO 640.

Serenity

To me, serenity means a place where I feel calm. The most peaceful place I visit every night is my bed. On my bed frame is a collection of things I love from places I’ve been, including a genie lamp I got in Egypt, a wooden mannequin and letter board from Amsterdam, a poster from San Fransisco, a book of my favorite polaroids, and other collectables I’ve gotten over the years. Laying in my bed with all these objects holding good memories gives me a feeling of serenity and security. For this image, the shutter speed is 1/32, F4, and ISO is 800.

Aging

Living things don’t stay young forever.

You can see that this flower has grown and blossomed, but with its lack of water, the petals have started decaying. At one point, the petals were very healthy and beautiful. I pulled the flower out of its bunch and placed in among these fairy lights so there was soft lighting and you’re able to see the details of the petals. In this image, shutter speed is 1/32, F4.5, and ISO is 800.

#NoFilter

getting dinner with my parents in monterey.

My parents and I took a day off to go to Monterey this week. I took this photo of them with our amazing food at the Old Fishermans Wharf. The food they got matches their personalities. I really like the lighting and exposure on this photo, so I didn’t think it needed any editing. Aperture is F4.5, shutter speed 1/32, and ISO is 200.

Negative Space

hey, look it’s a turtle!

For this weeks photoblog, to show negative space, there are pairs of people towards the bottom of the photo, there is a turtle at the top of the photo, and some fishies in the center of the photo that kind of blend in with the background. Overall, it’s a plain photo of the deep sea with some silouettes. It was really hard to get this photo to turnout, It was incredibly dark in the room, so the camera was struggling to be able to capture this. This pictures aperture is F4, the shutter speed is 1/40, and ISO3200.

Shadow

fish swimming around in circles

To show shadows, I took a picture of these fish where the light was placed above them, so you could see their shadow below them. The fish are all toward the top of the photo in a different color blue then the background, and the shadow are a dark grey color below the fish. What I find very interesting about this photo is that the shadows of the fish tells a different story than the swimming fish. For this image, my aperture was f4.5, shutter speed was 1/32, and ISO1600.

Anonymous

two people looking off into the distance trying to find fishies.
who are they?

To me, anonymous means hidden/unknown. I decided to take a picture of this couples’ back profile looking into the aquarium, so you’re unable to see their faces, you don’t know who they are. I used the rule of thirds to frame them. They’re looking through the large window panes into the water filled with kelp and many different types of fishies. It gives off the anonymous feel because you don’t know how they’re feeling, and you have no idea what these people look like. In this image, the aperture is F4.5, the shutter speed is 1/50, and ISO200.

Center Frame Portrait

For the center frame portrait, I took a close up of a jellyfish. This jellyfish really amazed me because of the shape and on the right side, where the head is, you can see some really interesting designs. They move slow, so I was able to capture this photo. You can see another spotted comb jelly behind my main subject, but its blurry and far off. In this photo, the aperture is F4, I set the shutter speed to 1/32, and ISO800.

New Beginnings

my sister and I reading our books in Egypt.
across the world

This photo was taken on New Years day, my sister and I are reading our books on our cruise across the Nile River. In Egypt, I didn’t have phone service, so all I was able to do was read. Thats when my views on reading completely changed. Since my trip to Egypt, I enjoy reading and it’s taught me a lot because the authors are so much wiser than anyone I talk to on my phone. In this photo, the aperture is F2.8, shutter speed 1/60, and ISO 200.
