Alford_rings

I took this photo with my Nikon D40. It was my parents anniversary yesterday. So I asked my mom to  put her hand on top of my dad's hand. Their hands with their rings on them (obviously). The first photo I took was to dark. I had to turn the flash on. The flash glowing off of the rings gave the photo a good touch. I also didn't want anything distracting in the background that's why I wanted to take the photo on top of a table.

Daniel_Rain

I took this photo on last week, I focus on the rain, which I think it adds more depth on this photo, the light for me which was good, I change the sky light because the original light was way too bright, so I change and make sure the light were balanced, as you can see the photo was cut into two areas, on the bottom of the photo were cars,street and house, but on the top of the photo were only sky, which I think it was really cool because it adds more depth on this photo,the rain on the glasses for me were adds more depth too, as you can see the rain gets more in focus on the right side of the photo, which I think was really god, the only thing I like to change was the bottom of the right, the tree was kind of distracting, if I get rid of that, it would look better.

Cahines_red flowers

I took this photo in the library. I chose to post this one because it kind of reminded me of mother's day. I really like the focus of the photo. I also like the snow in the background and how it makes the red of the flowers appear more vibrant. Personally I also like how the flowers are kind of dying I think it makes them look more interesting and have crisper details.

ParkerY_Misc

I took this photo when walking around cape cod. The reason why I like this picture is because of the symmetry in the picture and the contrast of the the metal bridge and the light sky along with the dark blue water. Another thing that I like about the the photo is that how the water in the fore ground is all crisp and clear, and then the the background is less clear and faded out more.

Eric_Summer

 I took this photo when I rode my bike back home from a bike trip, and I noticed these blooming flowers, which are the best sign of Summer. These purple flowers are on the mound by the roadside, I held my camera very close to those flowers in order to get a shallow lens field because I really like how the still life photo looks when the foreground and background both blurry, so that the main object on the photo will be highlighted with out too many distractions, and the blurry part will still gives enough information of where or when the photo was taken.

Alford_Sister and dog

I took this photo with my nikon D40. I saw my sister next to my dog. I told her to pick him up for a picture. I saw that it was a sunny day outside. I thought that the glare of the sun on my dog's hair would look nice. My dog kept squirming in my sister's hands. It took a while to get him to stay still long enough to take a photo. I had to put my camera on the setting where it cancels out the light. Because the picture would have been to bright. Once I did that and adjusted the zoom it came out to this.

Julianna_Water reflection

I took this photo of a reflection of some trees and the sky that was in a puddle I found while walking around my neighborhood. I like this photo because of the details the viewer is able to see even though it is a reflection. You can see the different shapes of the clouds and the different shades of green that are in the trees. I think these details are what make the photo great. I also like how I was able to capture this photo in a wide depth of field. The wide depth of field allows the viewer to see the different details in the photo and not focus on one main point in the photo.
