Catherine Ning-Clenmentines

This is a photo I took in December last year. Literally I spent a lot of time on managing it. In Chinese traditions, before the big fest, we have to eat some fruit and the clementines are one of the best choice. You can probably tell that there is light came from the top--That's my lamp. I also made one of the clementines in the front and the other back so that there is some depth there. Anyway, in my opinion, this is not as good as the jiaozi one, but it is still worthy posting.

I took this picture of this plant in our classroom. The shot originally had a few distractions that I cropped out. What I like about this picture is how the green of the leaves stand out and the plant is  more in focus than the rest of the image. The pictures in the background posted on the door are kind of distracting, but the pictures were taken of nature so they also kind of match with the plant. The white out on the side where the window should be also distract from the plant, but the light coming from outside was a really good light source.

This is an image I took using my friends camera outside his house in Framingham. I was debating whether or not I should incorporate it with my holiday project but ultimately thought I should at least include it to this blog. I like the lights but also how the background is sort of blurred out in comparison to these lights. I also really like the solid sky background color because it also works to emphasize the focus on solely the lights.

Catherine Ning－Chinese cabbage

This is also a picture I took during Christmas. When we Chinese celebrate the spring festival, we eat cabbage because in Chinese, it sounds similar to the word "money". In order to make the colors good, I put some water on it. I also add some light to it so that it is well focused. I am quite satisfied that the background is blurred.

Catherine Ning- Christmas tree and balls

This is a picture I took in Natick Mall during the Christmas season. Again I took the picture from the bottom. It seems nothing special but I manage to have the three balls looks like a triangle, and it has depth there. And I also make the branches of the red tree attached to the green ball, which make the photo more interesting.

I took this image of a wine glass after setting the dinner table on Christmas eve. Once I uploaded it to my computer, I edited the image so that it would be in black and white. I like how it is focused on the wine glass, and how everything in the back is blurred. The fact that it is black and white also keeps the focus on the glass. I know that the unedited image might've been better because it has more vivid colors, but something about the black and white makes the image seem really sophisticated.

Kim Stuart-1/1 Sunday Post

This is an image I took yesterday in China Town. I find myself here in China Town very frequently and there is so much I like to photograph considering how much I love the culture and way of life here. I especially liked this design because not only does it work as a sort of advertisement, but it also is genuinely artistic and interesting as well.
