For my image this week, I chose to take an image of this fountain with an interesting shutter speed. I thought it would be an interesting photo to diverge from the rule of thirds as it allows for the visibility of the water surrounding it and the ripples moving outwards. In the future, I may […]

Blog Post #13: New Beginnings
For this week’s blog post, we were instructed to tell the story of a new beginning through photos. I thought that it would be interesting to show the blooming of flowers during the spring months or the late winter months. These flowers were at all different stages of their life, buds, fully grown flowers, and […]
Blog Post #12: Trash
For this image, our goal was to take a photo inspired by trash. I was unsure what to do here and realized how many “trashy” images I had on my SD card. I decided that it would be interesting to make a piece from two of these combined. On top of this, I thought it […]
Blog Post #11: Balance
For this image in composition, we were told to find a way to show balance in our images. Either to have there be a uniform balance throughout the image or through having it unbalanced causing focus to move to one specific subject. For my image I decided to take into play color balance. Often reds […]
Blog Post #10: Hometown
For my Storytelling this month, I chose to take pieces of the neighborhood I have grown up in and combine them all into a singular photo because I couldn’t think of a single landmark to represent it in its entirety. I really like how it turned out. I used Photoshop to screen, overlay and mask […]
Blog Post #9: White Balance
For this image I found that the light from the sun at this time of day had become very strong through this tree. It created a cool glare in the image. I personally really liked this look and found that it may be interesting to rather than using daylight white balance, that I could rather […]
Blog Post #8: Leading Lines
For this image we were learning to use leading lines to show or establish a subject. In this image I wanted to focus on the bridge, but its color is quite washed out and dull compared to the bright whites of the trees next to it. The stream that starts at the forefront of the […]
Blog Post #7: Love Story
This image is supposed to represent love as a form of storytelling. I took this sort of literally in the sense that the book is a form of storytelling. But, I used the roses and the romance novel to show the general teen experience with love. The image is made up of two different images, […]
Blog Post #6: Weight or Mass
books balancing when they shouldn’t balance! For this image, I decided to balance some of my textbooks, using the color techniques for weight to order them and then placed items below them in order to balance them. Using some of the skills I learned in photoshop I attempted to remove such items and make it […]
Blog Post#5: Symmetry Landscape
For this image I decided to go for an urban landscape rather than a nature based landscape. The neighborhood adjacent to mine has always been an eerie place to walk because of how all of the homes seem to all be the same. This inspired me to photograph and frame the image to show this […]
