Francesco_my favorite bus

I took this photo 3 days ago at school with my phone. I would like to photography this bus because in Italy we don't have this kind of bus and in generally schools don't have a school bus. For the italian guys this is a stereotype, we always see the yellow school bus in american films and it is the first time that i see a real one. When i took this photo, i edited it with instagram to make it more vintage and brightness.

Francesco_my favourite sunset

I took this photo on the 28 of july. I was in Ponza, Italy with my friends. We were in another place of the island during the day but we went to this part called Lucia Rosa that is a famous place to see the sun goes down. The island that is captured in the photo is the island of Palmarola, a small island in front of Ponza where nobody lives which is famous for the colour of its water that is really green and clean.

AlexBrown_Misc_Bird perched on tree branch

I took this photo over the summer in the end of July, up in New Hampshire, when I visited my dad's parents. I took this in the afternoon with natural lighting and partly cloudy skies. I saw a bird in the tree so i didn't want to scare it away so I stood very still and took a few photos. This by far was the better of the several other photos of this bird. I like this photo because the colors are balanced well, the main focus point is the bird and the bird is almost in perfect focus. I also like the variety of color with the greens, brown, black, red and grey in the foreground and background because it makes this photo not very dull and appealing to look at. I also like the high detail in this photo because you can see the action better. I also like that the bird is randomly very photogenic to having his photograph taken, and looking directly at my camera. I also like that the background is out of focus because it makes the photo less distracting,  and it also makes the photo interesting. I also like that the bird naturally makes a sort of camouflage-like contrast to the branch he is perched onto. I also like the natural shadows in this photo because it makes the photo have tone, contrast, and less dull. I also like that the bird is centered in the photo because it gets your eye to focus on the main target in the photo. I wish I was closer to the bird so you could see him better. I took this photo on my Nikon D3200 with natural lighting, auto focus, 1/450/s shutter speed and without any flash.

Teddy_Misc U2 Concert

I chose to post two sets of photos because I really loved these two so much that I felt that I couldn't leave one of the sets out.  I captured these photos at the U2 concert at TD Garden for their Innocence+Experience Tour, during the summer in early July. I took these photos using my Nikon D3200.  Of the several hundred photos I took, these were among the best ones, and also my favorite of the bunch.  I used only natural lighting that was reflecting from the stage lights.  I liked these photos so much that I thought by editing them, it gave the photos a better focus on the main subjects in the photo which are Bono, The Edge, and Adam Clayton who are shown in the second set of photos.  In the first set I thought that the people behind Bono made the photo more of a distraction.  With the edited version in black and white, it blocks out most of the background distractions, allowing the viewer to be more focused on the full attention to Bono.  To edit the second versions from each set of photos I used iPhoto on my MacBook to edit the saturation and colors, using the black & white effect as well as fade to enhance the depth of the photo, which gives it a more professional look to the photos. 

Jonnyyue_my favorite car

      This is my Dad's car. And it has very old age. Maybe it should be an antique. But i love it so much. My father gets this car 30 years ago. But he still loves it until now. Overtime when i sit inside it, i always enjoy the voice of the engine. that's pretty enjoyable. So, anyway, whatever it looks like, maybe is too old, but i still love it so much! Hope you guys will fall in love with it like me!

Alford_fun and bored

This is a picture of two people having fun and one person being really bored. I took this with my Nikon 40. I chose this topic because I thought it would be a creative and fun way to express opposites. The people who are laughing are my mom and dad they are the ones that are having fun (obviously). And on the right this is my sister being bored doing her homework. This was in my house in my family room. I thought this would be a great spot to take this picture because this is where my family spends most of our time. Also because the lighting is very good.
