*NEW* Photographs

 

 

 

Self: NikonD7000 ISO 500 f/4 1/60

This is a NEW image, and my true self, me in my favorite hat with my camera! I chose to make my camera the focus of the photograph.  

 

Just Married: Nikon D7000 ISO 200 f/7 1/200

The new Mr&Mrs getting in a Model A to go to the reception, my favorite aspect of this photograph is the grooms smile in the reflection in the car, also the bridal party in the reflection as well. I shot the photograph with the intention of capturing the reflection, but the expression is priceless.

Perfectly Pretty:NikonD7000 ISO 100 f/8 1/250

This photograph I chose because it gives the illusion that the field of daffodils go on forever.The depth of field is great. I wanted to have just one daffodil in focus. The sun light just seems to bounce off the petals.

Assignment 1: 10 Minutes From Home

To go 10 minutes from home and capture....anything.

Feathered Friend: Nikon D80 ISO 1600 f/5.6 1/2000

I love the depth of this picture in the tree's but also that the bird looks a little fluffed up, so you can tell that it was a little chilly this day. The birds eye is in sharp focus and the natural lighting is cast just the right shadows.

Assignment 2: Technical Operations

Perfect Poser: NikonD7000 ISO 800 f/5 1/60

Taken at the mall, I wanted to focus on Shawn but create depth in the surroundings. I made sure the eyes of the subject are in focus and the background almost looks like a mosaic with the lighting.  

Johnathan in Motion: Nikon D7000 ISO 100 f/14  1/5

I wanted to show the technical aspect of keeping the background sharp but having the blur of Johnathan running. I sat on a tree stump and kept my arms on my knee's to capture the blur.

Assignment 3: Uncluttered

To have one subject fill the frame

Rustic Love: Nikon7000 ISO 200 f/2.2 1/4

This assignment was my first with my new camera, so I was and am still learning it. I used roses from Valentines day to fill the frame, but still wanted to use the horizontal and vertical lines of the subject and the wood grain to create a nice shot. I made sure to have the bottom rose in the most focus, but still wanted to have the woodgrain not in sharp focus.

Assignment 4: Unlikley Beauty

 

To find and capture something beautiful in an everyday object.

Where are my Glasses? NikonD7000 ISO 800 f/5 1/60

I wanted to focus on just one glass, but show the depth of the set up of glasses. I did use my flash to create more of a reflection in the glassware. I took several angels and moved all around the set up of glassware to get the shot I was most happy with.

 

Assignment 5: Faceless

I choose to make myself the subjest of this assignment, which proved difficult and challenging at times.

Me&My Babies: NikonD7000 ISO 280 F/5.6 1/125

I decided to use my children to hid my face as we embraced in  this faceless portrait. This was my favorite assignment, I thought making this picture black and white, would make it show more emotion.

 

Proud and HAPPY!

Not to many people take pictures of the scale, I just like how this image turned out, that it captured a part of my personality, and my struggle, but also my achievement. Of course it also captures a lot of who I am, I never wear matching socks, and I think that tells I have a fun personality.

Assignment 6:HI key/ LO Key

Using lighting to create dramatic lighting features.

Shadowing Shawnee: NikonD7000 ISO 400 f/5 1/80

I used lighting to create a shadow across the face as well as the use of his hood. I love how the shadows make the features of his face stand out. Looking at the photo, I would have changed it a little and made the background a little darker.

Grandma's Angel's NikonD7000 ISO 200 f/6.3 1/60

The bright sun reflecting against the porcelain angles, I like that the angles stand out, but there is also a subtle pattern in the background.
