Blurry Motion

This would be the last photograph in my motion photography assignment. This is a photograph of a manatee and a rather small school of fish swimming in the manatee exhibit at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. The manatee is the subject of the photo, and since he is in focus and the rest of the background is a tad bit blurry, he is the subject of my blurry motion photo. I like how in this photo, the manatee is of a deeper, darker color compared to the fish, who are bright yellow in color. This photograph has been brighten and the contrast has been adjusted to make the color really pop. Enjoy! :)

Frozen Motion

This photograph would be of frozen motion. In the photograph Mr. Peters is welding a small peice of metal from a larger piece, creating the sparks (subject matter). The sparks fly off the metal, creatingthe motion of the subject. Mr. Peter is being kept busy, although you cannot see him, making the photo more interesting. I simply am in love with color of this photograph, and after making a copy of it in black and white, I decided that the photo was more interesting in color. The color photograph also suited the subject & assignment better in my opinion. Enjoy! :)

Subject Blurry Motion

This is a motion photograph. It's would be a picture of a bird I saw while visiting the Colbus Zoo & Aquarium. The subject of the photo (the bird) is blurry; the bird, who we'll call Bob is the subject of my blurry subject photo, while the background of the photograph is clear and easy to make out. I like this photograph simply because the subject is being kept busy, making it more interesting. One puzzling thng however, is that this photo has remained un-edited, yet the background appears to be lacking color? rather odd. Enjoy! :)

Depth Of Field #2

This would be the second of two in my Depth Of Field project for Photography I. This photograph is interesting to me because of how the backboard of the basketball hoop is zoomed in on. This photograph shows depth of field because of how the basketbal hoop in infront of the top balcony/bleachers. The contrast, and brightness in this photograph has been edited. Enjoy! :)

Depth Of Field #1

This would be the first of two in my Depth Of Field project for Photography I. I like this photograph because of how the leave's close-up, and because of how the background is nothing but green, which is my favorite color. This photograph shows depth of field because of how the background (the grass) is blurry so that you can't really tell it is grass, yet the leave is focused on and colorful. The contrast, and brightness in this photograph has been edited. Enjoy! :)

Pattern #2

This is the second of the two pattern photographs in my pattern project for photography I. This would happen to be a photograph of the tabletop on one of the picnic tables out on the senior patio. I really like this photo because of the groves in the wood. I think this pattern is cool mainly because of the groves in the wood. Enjoy! :)

Pattern #1

This is the first of the two pattern photographs in my pattern project for photography I. This would happen to be a photograph of the walk out on the senior patio. I really like this photo because of the cool pattern. I think the pattern's cool because of how there are squares and then kindof rounded squares in the photo. Enjoy! :)

Story Photo

For my 15th birthday I decided to have a bowling party at Shawnee Lanes. However, since it was late January, it was snowing uncontrollably and slippery as all get out. After everyone had finally arrived and gotten their bowling shoes on and laced, the fun began. My cousin Mason, the current champion of bowling in my family, decided to give me a chance to challenge him at the title of "Best Bowler", me to get this snapshot. ("Best Bowler" is a coveted title in my family) After a twenty minute game, my cousin Mason had beaten me. Enjoy! :)

Extreme Angles #3

This is the last of the three photographs in my extreme angles project for Photography I. This photo was also taken while spending the weekend at a friend's house. I cropped the photograph, then edited the brightness, & contrast in it. I also love this photo because of the flower's color-purple, it's one of my favorites.

Extreme Angles #2

This is the second of three photographs in my extreme angles project for Photography I. I love this photograph because of the photograph's color, its simple subject & how I centered the flower. Another reason I love this photograph is because of how I had to get up close in order to get such a clear shot for this picture. Other than cropping the subject, nothing else has been done to this photograph.

Extreme Angle #1

This is the first of the three photographs in my extreme angles project for Photography I and took it while spending the weekend at a friends house. I really, really like this photograph because of the extreme angle I took it at & how the color looks in the photograph. I edited this photo by cropping it, & editing its contrast & brightness. Enjoy! :)

Window Pane

This is another photo of the little boy I babysit. I also edited the color, brightness, & contrast in this one. I like how his attention on me; allowing for him to be kept busy. Enjoy! :)

My Little Buckeye

This photograph would be of a little boy I babysit on the weekends. I'm glaed I placed my subject (Wynn) slightly off-center, to make for a more interesting photo. I especially love this photograph because it was unkowingly taken by my subject. I edited the color, contrast, & brightness in this photograph. Enjoy! :)

Honor & Football

I took this photo while at one of last year's football practices. I like this photo mainly because the subjects didn't know it was taken, making it a more interesting photo. I edited the color & brightness in this photo in order to give it more 'eye appeal'.
Enjoy! :)

Shadow #3

This is the third of three photographs in my shadow project for Photography I. It is a photo of my family's holiday tree. I like this one because of how the shadow spans from the middle bottom edge to the upper righthand corner. Enjoy! :)

Shadow #2

This would happen to be the second of the three photos in my shadows project for photography I. This photo, like the others, has also been done in black & white, allowing for it to be a more interesting photograph while at the same time giving it a viontage-like feel. I like this photo because of how the light hit the lid of the tea jar just as I took the photo. Enjoy! :)

Shadow #1

This is the first of the three photographs I took for my shadow's project in photography I. It was taken while staying at my dad's for the week. I especially like this photo because of how the birdbath actually has two shadows in it. This photo is interesting because of how the shadow extends from the birdbath halfway across the photo itself, making for a more interestring composition. Enjoy! :)

Ripples

This snapshot would be of my little sister Sasha from last summer out on the boat. I took this then edited both the brightness & the contrast in it. This snapshot is one of my favorites because of how the water ripples look & how they give off that little bit of color. I also placed the subject matter (my little sister) slightly off-center so that the ripples floating away from her would also bring the attention to the rest of the photo. Enjoy. :)

Untitled

I took this while staying with my dad for the weekend. I took it out of boredom, but after editing it I ended up liking it a lot. I edited the contrast but left the brightness alone. I like the color of the wood on the wall & how the trim of the window is done. I especially like how it has that vintage-like feel to it. Any suggestions for a title would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy. :)

Making A Splash

This is a snapshot that was again taken while on the boat with my family this past summer. My sister was excited to be the first one to get in the water so I took this snapshot for her at the last second. Afterwards I edited the brightness & the contrast in this photo to make it a tad more interesting. By far one of the funniest photos I've taken. Enjoy. :)

Watchdog

I took this in the fall of last year during the Fall Festival of Leaves. I like this one because Skamp is standing & alert, makingthe photo more interesting than if he was just laying down or sleeping. The subject in this picture (Skamp, the cairn terrier) is keeping an eye out for 'wild beasts' as my grandma likes to put it. This one is also edited in black & white, simply because it is my favorite color choice for a photograph. Enjoy. :)

Summer Reads

I recently stumbled upon this photograph while cleaning out the folders on my laptop. This photo wasn't taken by me, but by my mom while hanging out at the city pool this past July. I like this mostly because of it's edited color & lighting. I'm a big fan of black & white photos. I think this one is interesting because the main point (my body itself) lies horizontally, drawing focus to the left of the photo as well as the right. I especially like the back ground of the fence and the cars in my photo. Enjoy. :)

A Dinergirl & A Ladybug

I took this last year prior to going trick-or treating with a little girl I babysat at the time. I especially like the lighting in this photograph. My favorite part about this photograph is that it was taken in the fall which in my opinion, is the most beautiful time of year. This photograph has been posted in its original state; it has not been edited. Enjoy. :)
