Asthetics

I found this website with a bunch of great photos. If you get some time you should check them out.

Framing Slideshow

Rule of Thirds

These are the photos that I took for my rule of thirds photos. The first one I took of just the trees with some of the mountains in the background. I took both of these photos just moments after each other. The second one I tried to capture a little more of the sunset as well as the trees and the mountains. I definitely think that the second came out better. To me it's much more interesting to look at visually. 

Color

These are my color photos. Hope you guys enjoy! 
I really like this one, I think it's the angle and the way the camera picked up the dust on the shelf. 

Lighting

I really enjoyed this assignment because it's very interesting to see three of the same things, look so different, and yet so the same. I took pictures of a tree at my relatives house.This top one was my favorite. I like how the snow isn't white, but rather peachy. This is from the sunset that was behind me. This next one is a bit darker, taken only 15 minutes later. The sky is different in the background, as well as the color of the tree itself.  And then this one was the last one, taken about 15 minutes after the previous. I was surprised how light it came out, since it was considerably dark outside at this point. I would have liked to take a picture from the other side of the tree looking out towards a mountain range into the sunset, but unfortunately I didn't appropriate clothing to walk around in two feet of snow. Hope you guys enjoy these, and I'm sorry for posting so last minute!

Assignment #2 - Collage

This week I focused on the outdoors. We got a bit of snow this past weekend, so I thought I'd try to find the beauty in it.

Assignement Number One - Favorites

These two were the ones that I really liked the best:

I really liked this one because of the way the light reflects off his face. and the brightness of the carpet next to the shadow border along the bottom.

 

This shot was harder for me to choose. It's shot at a very similar angle, just a little lower. I like the focus on his face, but his body is less focused.

Assignment Number One

First I will post most of the photos that I took this week. My dog was my inspiration, since he's just so cute. ;] I started by just taking pictures, messing around with my camera, and ended up with these.. :]
