Odisi_DuckHat

This is a photo of my brother. He's going though a phase where he needs to have his Donnald Duck hat on all the time. I like this photo because I think the contrast between his skin color and everything else is really nice. I also like that I can see the freckles on his cheeks very well.

Daniel_Leaves

 I took this photo with my Nikon Coolpix L330, this photo was took from my back yard, I took almost 10 of these kind photo and decided to choose this photo, the details on this photo was really great, which can let me see the leaves clearly on the photo, I focus on the leaves which makes the background looks better, the timing was really great too, when I was took this photo during the afternoon, the sunlight came out with a prefect direction.

Alford_Christmas tree

I took this with my canon 5D. It is my family's tradition to decorate the christmas tree the day after ThanksGiving. We have a lot of ornaments so I thought it would make a nice picture. I wanted to get the stockings in the picture also. I also wanted to get the women on top of the tree. I had to bump up the sensitivity of my camera to get good lighting, or else it would have been to dark.

AlexBrown_Victorian Marble Fountain

I took this photo when I was away for Thanksgiving this week. I decided to choose this photo for this week's post because I think this was an interesting photo. I saw this old marble fountain while I was exploring around some of the old Newport Mansions. I thought this fountain had some interesting carvings around the base of the fountain so I decided to take a photo of the little people on the fountain. I like this photo because it shows a few different emotions in this particular photo, one is fear, the second is curiosity, and the third is happiness. I think with the babies with different facial expressions makes this an interesting story. I think the artist who made this fountain was trying to set a tone for the people who would observe the fountain, which is important when it comes to art. I think it is interesting that the babies left and right of the gargoyle or mask they are holding makes this photo have good action. I like the lighting of this photo because it isn't too overexposed and it is well focused. I like that the framing I chose for this photo is in complete focus because it allows you to focus on the detail of the fountain carvings that are three dimensional and the relief is pretty high. I also like the aging mold that is growing on the marble because it adds a balance of color between whites, gray and tannish mold. I also think the lighting is the most important part of this photo because the subjects are well lit which makes this photo very interesting. The only thing I wish I could change in this photo would have been to not have a little bit of negative space on the right end of the photo because you can see a little bit of the ground and the landscape around the fountain. I took this on my Nikon D3200 with natural lighting, without flash, and using the auto focus setting.

Teddy_The Elms Mansion

I took this photo with my Nikon D3200 when I was in Newport, Rhode Island for Thanksgiving. I took several dozens of photos when I was looking for places to take photos at the  Elms Mansion in Newport. I thought this was one of the coolest photos that I captured while I was exploring the backside of The Elms Mansion. I like the lighting in this photo because it is reflected in more than four places in this photo, which allows it to have more depth in this photo. I like how the light is reflected on the corners of the needles of the tree which makes it look like it has sparkles or glitter on the tree. I also like how the light is casting from the corner of the mansion allowing a sunbeam ray towards the aperture of the camera, which creates an interesting look to the photo. I like how in the bottom of the photo the red leaved trees are also being reflected from the light which brightens the colors of the reds and oranges of the autumn colored leaves in the photo. I also like how the light casts onto the side sculpture on the corner of the mansion on the side of the first floor wall, with the light casting on the head allows another interesting element to the photo. And lastly I like how through the light is reflected through the second floor window with the reflection of the blue from the sky is clearly mirrored from the window preventing anything from inside the window to be seen in the photo. I think without all these light source elements in this photo it would lose its strength in the photo, limiting the quality and content of this photo. I also think that the different colors in this photo such as greens, blues, reds, oranges, grays, whites, and blacks all in one photo allow it to be more vibrant and lively to the viewer. Without all these things this photo wouldn't be the same and it wouldn't be as interesting as it is of a photo.

Odisi_1-10

For the 1-10 assignment I did different people's version of anger from 1-10. These are my favorites because on my brother's face you can see things in very detailed and the background is a bit blurred, and I think Mr. Peterson made the best face out of all of the photos I took throughout that week.

Cahines_1 to 10

These two photos are my best ones out of my 1 to 10 photos in my opinion because they are the most practical. These are some of the only one that I took that have am actual number on them. These were my number 5 and number 7 photos obviously. My favorite is probably the first one with the 5 because it has good focus. There are some good colors and I also like how I was able to blur out the door.
