MACRO


This picture i thought was really cool. It took me a long time to find the right angle with the right amount of lighting. But i thought in the end it was a cool picture.


This one i reallllly wanted to turn out cool, but ended up blurry and i dont know how! it still nugs me. But i like the gray background with the orange candle.


I liked this picture be because it was one of the first ones i took, and i liked how it focuses more on the leaf than the background.

Terrence Donovan was known for his classy black and white pictures. That is one of the things i love about him so much. He can take a girl and make her look classy, yet not trashy.

Crop photo.


I chose to crop this photo because i felt like the background had too much blue, and i just love to Picnik :) What I did was just crop out most of the background and focused on his beautiful face. I also tried to accent the black in the picture and made everything else darker.

Photowalk.

This is a picture of my friend hannah. We were goofing off one day during stufy hall, and took some cool pictures. I like the shading in this picture.

What i really like about this picture is all of the different elements to it. The playground, the trees, the backgroud, and the stunning sunrise. I also liked it because it had that glare from the sun, which made me think of like " God ".







This picture early in the morning when i went running. I really liked how blue and clear the sky was that day. So i tried to capture that by adding a flair to it with the soccer goal thing.
