Portrait reflection #14

I was happy with my portrait that I took, I took it of my dog Morris and I like how the sun was shinning on him and he was sqwinting as he looks up at me. ;)

10 portraits #13

One of my all-time favorites because of the intensity in her eyes, and the great colors.

I like how clearly, this photograph was drawn of someone taking a picture.

More of the same, pretty girl...unique portrait.

I like the intensity of this photo
.
unique, never seen a portrait like this


discustingly cool

very unique, i love how the rain is cover the face, but you cant see the eyes


definitly shows her personality, i like it

another action shot portrait, i really like


simply pretty

going against your light meter #12

You can go against your light meter a couple different ways, depending on how you want your photo to turn out. You can over-expose or you can under-expose---all depending on the way the light shines on the subject or whatever your taking your photograph of. When you under-expose it compliments the darks and makes them come out a little more, and when you over-expose your whites come out. This is so that when you have a lot of light, your light meter tends to give you a middle ground, but you can go against it and come up with even better photos.

A great portrait? #11

When asked the question "what makes a great portrait?" i'd have to say, creativity. I think creativity is a very important aspect of photography. Because if your pictures are the same as everyone elses; they're boring. I aslo think a great portrait is taken with the appropriate lighting as well as the correct apperture and shutter speed.

National Geographic #10

1. time: the photographers took their time when taking they're photos. they didn't expect to get they're best shot on the first try.
2. scenery: these photographers had a magnificent scenary to take great pictures
3. lighting: they had great options for great lighting, which made great photos.
4. light meter/apperture: they clearly read both to produce these great photographs
5. shutter speed: another very important aspect of a great shutter, and in order for them to get  a great "movement" picture  they had to have the correct shutter speed.

Nick Nichols was my favorite photographer because of a particular photograph he took: the elephants in the water. I liked this approach because it was unique and differnt and clearly not something you would see everyday.

My favorite photogrraph was the picture of the elephants in the lake, because of the movement and emotion they had.

Yes, it displayed movement, and rule of thirds.

Reflecting-Positive/Negative #9

This is the picture I chose to work with for my positive and negative picture. I like this picture because it's my dog Morris, I think it could have been a little more creative, but overall, i was happy

My framing Photo-Anna #8

This is my framing photo that I took of Anna walking underneath a tunnel like "hallway" leading to the UVA lawn. She is  being "framed" by the columns. And, I am very happy with this, one of my better photos.

Internet Framing Photos #7

Very cool photo, displaying framing in a very unique sort of way. I like how the girl is being framed by the fence.

Another very unique idea of the idea of framing. I like how the girl's face is being framed by her hands.

Not only is this a really pretty picture. I like how the whole like "outside" is  being framed by the tunnel like opening.

Kinda the same idea as above, but I actually like this one a little better, because of the sunset in the backround and the cacti. Very pretty!

Another super pretty picture of the sun going down, interesting how the tree things are framing the sun!

Morris, Paw #6

I like this picture because his paw stands out and you can see his nose, i like the effect. Although, I dont think I did such a good job on the lighting. It was a very dark negative, so I didn't have much to work with. But, for the future I just need to keep an eye on my light meter and my apperture.

Internet hands and feet photos #5

I like this photo for a couple of reasons, i like the whites and how it sorta conveys a message of like friendship or family.

This picture is cool in the way that theres a foot on top and a hand on the bottom, very unique and very interesting..I wouldn't of thought about that.

I like this picture not only because of the difference and size between the two feet  but the connection between a mother and a baby.

Probably another one of my all time favorites, because of how the mom's hands frames the babies feet. Once again very unique, and has a very cool, deep message

I like this picture for a couple reasons, but i like how the sunset is in the backround and how theres obviously a love of two people and/or relationship holding hands.

Rule of Thirds-My opinion #4

This picture I took of my two sisters Abby and Carly before a wedding.  This is one of my favorite photos, and it displays rule of thirds because the subject is off to the side and not in the center. I think I did  a good job with this photo, and I think it's super funny.

Rule of Thirds #3

This is a very simple photo portraying the rule of thirds. I really like this picture for that very reason. When I see this picture It makes me happy, because my attention is drawn to the dandelion as soon as I see it.

Another "simple" picture, portraying a very "pretty" message.  I love the colors in this picture (clearly, this photo was taken at sunset), and how you can see the ducks path in the water...very pretty!

Cute picture, a third of the way over--which is why it's "The Rule of Thirds". Im really drawn to this photograph because of the heels to be very honest. I love those!

A really good example of "The Rule of Thirds" because the subject is not in the center. And I like this photo because not only is it very clear what "strategy" or type of photo is being taken (rule of thirds), but since all the peppers are green and the one is red, your attention is drawn to that!

GREAT rule of thirds! I love this picture. It's obviously summertime and a picnic, because of the picnic table, the ant.....and the ant carrying the P.B. crackers.

Conveying a Message Photo Shoot #2

This is a photo of Shannon that I took for my "Conveying a Message" assaignment. In this photo Shannon is showing happiness, laughter, as well as her personality. This is one of my favorite photos I've taken this course in photography.

Conveying a message #1

I like this picture because of the emotion, and movement it  shows. It shows alot of happiness, joy and energy.

Very much conveying a message:joy, fun, people, a couple, dancing....etc! Use your imagination!

This picture is SO cute, and at the same time portraying an important message of it's personality.

Kinda like the dog picture above were the two dogs are huging. I'd say close to the same message except  they're mice. When I look at them, I see alot of personality as well as human characteristics being displayed.

Not only is this picture absolutley gorgeous, its portraying yet again an important message. It's very scenic, when you look at the photograph, it makes you want to go to the beach or start running. Very inspiring....etc.

From the DVD #12

1. I really liked the photo taken at sunset of the lake and the two trees in the middle. It was a very beautiful shot and a very creative shot! Long depth of field was definitely used as well as the rule of thirds.
2. I think Jim Brandenburg did this to get his love for photography back. I also think he did this to be unique and to keep him involved with something he loved to do!
3.   MY FAVORITE!

Reflecting on Lines assaignment #11

I thought I did a good job on my pictures for "lines." I thought they were creative and different. I took a picture much like one I previously posted in #10, so I think thats neat. And, I took a photo of drinks and random things that were sitting at a table in the shape of a line. Overall, I was proud with my lines assaignment!

Internet Lines #10

I like this photo because it's very intense. You've got a dark, cloudy sky and what looks like a never ending train track.

Very intersesting trees in the form of lines. The buildings in the backround help out with the whole "lines" effect as well. I think it's a very neat picture.

I like this photograph becaue the photographer took a very "boring" subject--or something we see everyday and made it very interesting.

I think this picture is so busy, I like it. It' got an overwelming amount of lines, which I find unique and creative!

I like this picture, because for my lines assaignment I took one VERY similar!

Reflecting on Depth of Field Roll #9

I thought that my depth of field role was decent. I think my photos could have  been a little more creative.  Like, I took a picture of a sign that I made when I was little and blurred out the backround. It was an okay picture, but I think I could of shot a more creative picture for shallow depth of field.  Maybe I could of done a close up on my goat and had the backround blurred. And same for the "long" depth of field, instead of taking a picture of  my street at at distance, I could of taken a picture of say the lawn at uva.

More Internet Findings #8

I would guess that the apperture used to take this photo was a large apperture. Im guessing it's large because the pictures so close. This photo is a great exaple of shallow depth of field because the subject is focused on and the backround is completely blurred out.

This photo I think could be an example of shallow debth of field or long debth of because it's focus on the eight ball and a little blurred in the back, but its also pretty focused throughout. Although, I'm gonna display this as shallow debth of feild because this is what I noticed first when I saw the picture. And, as far as apperture, Im not sure. I'd say a small apperture.

I'd guess that a large apperture was used to take this. This photo is definitely an example of shallow debth of feild because it's close to the bee's and blurred in the backround.


Maybe a small apperture, although-it could vary and same goes to all the pictures above. It really depends on the time of day and the lighting. This picture is an example of "long depth of field" because it's not close up, it's more of a lanscaping photograph.


Because this picture is taken far away-it has a "long" depth of feild rather then a shallow.
Im not sure what the apperture would be. But, i'd say somewhere in the middle because it was taken when the sun goes down.

 Another great example of "long" debth of field because the picture is "long." As in it's more broad, more scenic. It's not focused on one thing and the backround is not blurred-like shallow depth of field. Yoiu can see an entire view. (hard to explain) Im guessing that a very small apperture was used because it's in the middle of the day and the sun's out.
