Rosa_Boston

I did this picture because how the clouds were coming with the dark grey but the other side shows the sun light. The building shows a reflection of the clouds and sun light. This picture was taken at 1pm. The start of the church is a little bit detracting but, not over wellming.

Katie_Pine Trees

I took this photo in the woods near my house during the middle of the day. I really liked the crisp focus on the pine needles in the middle. The blurry background also helps add to it as nothing is very distracting. The lighting is also very subtle and not harsh at all on the needles, which is good.

Flower_Julianna

I took this photo of a fake flower my family uses for center pieces at our dining room table. I like this photo because of all the layers in the petals. I also like the color in the center I think it adds a nice touch to the photo than if the whole photo was white and green. I also like the different lighting I got because there was natural lighting from a window and also artificial lighting from lights above. I think they both add different textures in the flower and brings out the colors in the center. The only thing I don't like is the petal in the center sticking out but it would not move and if I took this from a different angle there would be distracting elements such as food and other table wear.

Baxter_Bees? BEES!

This is another one of my dark room photos. I just took a photo of Mr. Barry's dead bees. I really like the composition of the photo, but I don't like how some areas in the front are a little out of focus. I love the detail on the bees. I really wish that they were in a position where you could see their face, but I was afraid that if I tried to move it, I would break it. That would have been bad...

Baxter_Rising From the Pages (make-up)

One day, I was in the art room and thought to myself, "I wonder what it would look like if I took some abstract photos of my sculptures." VOILA! There it is! I really like how you can actually read some of the words on the page and on the woman's skin. I also really like the shadow underneath her arm. The only thing I  don't like is that it has such a shallow depth of field. I wish it was a little more clear in the background.

Baxter_Making My Own Negative (make-up)

 I have been very very proud of this lately. The other day in the dark room, I noticed that when I put sketchbook paper over my photo while it's being projected, some of the image will show through the paper, but if I put dark room paper over the photo, none of the image would show underneath. I decided to expand on this by taking four different kinds of paper and layering them ontop of each other to create what acts almost like a negative. The bottom photo is the faux negative I made, and  the top photo is my fist print of it in the dark room. I really enjoyed making it, and I also really like that I can reuse it with as many negatives as I want. I plan on making another one soon.
