Flashlight_Julianna

I took this photo of my flashlight. I really liked the texture on the top of it. I added a black and white effect on to it because I thought it added more to the texture since the flashlight is black. I also cropped it so that to reflections would be out of the photo because I found them to distracting.

I took this photo of a car tire when I was walking on my host parents' drive way.

What dads do_Rosa Ruiz

I just chose photo because the photo shows very interesting picture. My dad through basketball him to knock down the ice on my house and it ended up getting stuck in between my window and the ice. I like this photo because it shows how crazy New England can be sometimes.  I also like this photo because it shows the harsh winter and the dark colors from the clouds shows the effect of winter.

I took this photo of an icicle that was melting. When I saw this I wanted to try to capture a single water droplet. After a lot of tries I finally got a photo of one. I used the manual setting on my camera and I pushed rapid shooting in order to get this. I love how you can see reflections of the trees in the water droplet itself. I also love how there are many highlights and there are rainbow colors in it too. I edited the photo by cropping it so you can see the water droplet better and I auto-enhanced it. I adjusted the cool setting slightly in order to give it a colder effect.

I took this photo a couple blocks from my house. I like how you can see the blue sky to the right, the dark green tree in the middle, and the yellow leaves to left. I think that this photo has a really good range of colors, there aren't too many but there are just enough. I also like how there is a lot of light on the road.

Andrew_Candle

I took this photo of a melting candle at my house.  I really like this photo because of the highlights I was able to catch around the web-like pattern on the candle.  I also really like this photo because there is a feel of depth in the photo as shown with the highlights in the background.  Lastly, I like this photo because of the effect the candle had on the web design, making it glow a little and create some different shades of red and orange around it.  The only thing I would change is trying to get the flame a little bit clearer, but the one photo I had the wed design came out blurry (the candle is now fully melted so I don't have the pattern anymore)

Katie_Winter Trees

I took this photo in my backyard. I liked the crisp focus the trees had, and the white snow on the green pine trees create a more "classic" (I can't think of a better word at the moment) atmosphere. The lighting is also really good and subtle, especially in the middle. There are not a lot of harsh shadows from tree branches
