Week 4

My Shadow picture was pretty difficult but found the best scenery i could and do my best with the edits  

 

WEEK5

I went to East Haven beach earlier this week and caught some good shots. I also have some money from Costa Rica that was given to me, and i got a few good shots from that also.

Week 5 - Macro

I have turned our weekends into family photo expeditions. It has been pretty awesome. This weekend we stayed around the house, which was actually pretty awesome because I found a gigantic blackberry patch that I didn't know I had. Apparently my dogs knew where it was though. I love the black and white of my neighbor's son. She has twins and this is Jacob. They are amazing subjects. My next shot is a flower that I took while shooting the beach shots but I wanted to use it this week because of it's boldness. I love the color. Huge fan of orange. Then we have my daughter's hockey pads. They were drying in the sun and the light was shining perfectly on them! Last but not least - the gypsy moth. They need to be good for something because they are ruining our trees and driveway. So, I made it my muse. Little rascal.

WK5 MACRO

These pictures were taken at home in my mothers garden. She was very excited to see her flowers and statues as my models for this assignment. I couldn't get some areas to focus so my editing included some cropping today also. These flowers screamed for color so I did not have any B&W edits this week.

I took close up of flowers around my best friends home and the rag doll in her garage.  I also had a very nice close up picture on my daughter that I put a photo filter on in photo shop to bring her out more.

Week 5, Macro.

I enjoyed this assignment very much. It's really interesting to focus on details that get missed in everyday things. When I first began experimenting with how close I could get to something, I was laying on the ground at the park, when my daughter walked over. At first I told her to please back up because I was trying to get a picture of the buttercups. Then I noticed she had on her red sparkly shoes (even though I asked her to put sneakers on to go to the park). It happened to work out perfectly when I realized she was Dorothy on the yellow brick road. So that was fun. Another fun one for me is the one of my dog's eye because it shows the reflection of the window. You can even see the sky and clouds in it, which is pretty cool. Color photos seem harder to edit, so I'm kind of unsure how I did with that. I prefer black and white, but I think all of these needed their color.
