CLOCK work

Photo by: Tyler Hiles

In this photo I wanted to show how macro photos were supposed to be taken. Not to be cocky but I believe this is a great photo. I took this photo thinking I could catch every detail I possibly could. This photo was taken in a environment in which the lighting is all natural. Unfortunately this photo is not my best but I do believe it is spectacular.

Fire Face

This picture was a part of my slow shutter speed assignment. I had my little brother sit very still, and then flailed a lighter around his face. I had to take this picture multiple times, for the litters trail looked odd or my little brother moved. I am very proud of this picture, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Duck in the Water

Photo by: Alissa Boyer

I was attempting to take slow shutter speed photos of the water but this duck kept distracting me so I finally just took a picture of it. I was trying to get its foot in the photo under the water as well. I love the reflection, and that you can see the ripples and the ducks foot, But I think the photo is too grainy.

The Panache of Perfection

Photo by: Wynn Michael Wesson III

Honestly Defining Range, HDR, is one project that I spoke through with a glorious photograph. While accidently stumbling upon a field, my camera seemed to be drawn to this disintegrating excuse of a fence. Was it fate or something more? Deciding it to be a moment that might not last forever, I threw out my tripod, prepared my camera with a staggering shutter speed of 1/250 second, an F-Stop of 4.0, an HDR setting of +2 and -2, and began to do what I do best. Within one attempt, I had captured a photograph worthy of blog posting. I don’t want to toot my own horn here, but I believe that this photograph could win the national title for HDR. I hope you enjoy this photograph and that it brings you into an alternate universe of perfection and beauty.

Zombie Dolls

Photo by: Lizzi Curl

This December my Digital Photo II class took a field trip to Seattle. My friends and I were walking through the shops when we came across these little zombie dolls. I thought they were adorable and I felt like I needed to take a picture of them. I had a shutter speed of 1/40 and an ISO of 800.

Hotel Motel

You know, I just really tried to capture the raw emotion and feel of “old” Seattle. I really wanted to make this photo look like it was taken in the old days so I converted it to grey scale and turned up the contrast and such. I am pretty happy with the results! The only thing I wish I could have done was stay and shoot in Seattle longer. #swag!

Pure Perfection

Photo by: Brayden ‘The Master of Photography’ Richards

While out on one of my soul journeys through the wilds of the beautiful Orting valley I just so happened to stumble upon this majestic antique store. While taking effortless, classic pictures with my camera, there was a gust of wind that seemed to whisper, “You Are Photography”. HDR is one of my many specialties, (although I excel in every aspect of photography). After contemplating my approach, I whipped out my tripod, screwed the camera on nice and tight, and now I give you my masterpiece. You’re welcome. Happy with the results you ask? I suppose you could say I am, but I am not surprised because I am on a whole other level. Till next time amateurs.

Glowing Rings

Photo by: Megan Bussey

With this photo I attempted to do a special effect using a slow shutter speed. I started spinning the lens of my camera shooting at some Christmas lights, but then I realized that when I unfocused the camera and motioned the camera in circles, it looked way cooler. I thought that this photo was very unique and I like the pink and purple colors the lights made.

Going Places

Photo by: Abigail Preston

This is a photograph of my sister Amanda. For a project, I had to take senior portraits. Luckily my sister is a senior. The boat was borrowed by a neighbor; it was interesting to get that to my back yard. This was one of the beast experiences I have had with photography. We both had fun and if I had to, I would do it all over again.

I took this picture in downtown Puyallup in the afternoon when the sun was setting. I really like the lighting and how focused she is in the photo. I shot at 100 for my ISO and my f-stop 4.0.

Phantom of the Glass Museum

Photo by: Molly Ladner

This photo was very fun to take! I asked a friend of mine to hold out his cell phone so the light would show up when I took the picture. He spun around in circles and the effect his cell phone gave ended up looking pretty interesting! It was a 30 second shutter speed which allowed the cool light to show up. It was cold and rainy while doing this photo, but it ended up looking awesome and was totally worth it.

A day in Seattle

Photo by: Tina Baldridge

I took this photo while on our class trip to Seattle. I took this photo for our architecture assignment. This is in front of the Space Needle, and is a pyramid of Christmas light balls. And also a fountain. I liked this photo and how the clouds were behind it. I think this photo turned out pretty well.

Basketball

Photo by: Bryce McCoy

This photograph is highly self-explanatory. It is at a girls JV game. This was taken during warm ups so I could get up and close. It was taken for our Photo Journalism assignment. Other then that there is nothing really special going on.

Smiles for Days

Photo by: Bradley Wheeler

I took this picture at Rogers High School right outside the cafeteria. The background came out better than expected. I was really just trying to capture his smile and his true happiness in the picture not a fake smile. I didn’t really try anything special just started snapping off photos. But I shout at a white balance of cloudy, and an iso of 400. I am not to good at this photography stuff but I try.

Berries

Photo by: Hilaree Hampton

When I went out I was looking for things I could take pictures of on the school grounds. This looked kind of cool to me. So I climbed into the bush and started getting different angles but I liked this one the best. I like it because the background looks painted and it looks like it is on a canvas. The shutter speed was set at 1/200 and the aperture was set a 4.5. I hope you enjoy this picture. 

Yummy

This photo was taken on our Seattle field trip back in December. I really like the color in this photo, and how bright it is. I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I do 

City Lights

Alexis Dewey

I really enjoyed this picture. For my night photo I wanted to go somewhere that was pretty, so I chose the waterfront. I traveled to different places by the water and on the dock taking pictures of the ocean and the lights on the other side. What makes this photo w=one of my favorites is the smoke from the building. I liked how clear it came up in the photo.

Who Needs Gravity

Photo by: Isaac Han

What I really attempted to do in this photo was to really catch my friend Khrys Ross the Boss in action. I actually had to take this photo a million times before I really go this perfect one that is posted right now. For this photo I adjusted the shutter speed so that it was high but not too high and the fact is that for any photo you just kind of have to mess with the camera until you get the right shutter speed. Also what is really unique about this photo is that my friend Khrys Ross the Boss is on the vert wall in a Seattle skate park. I’m actually really satisfied with this photo because the lighting and everything was good that day because it was nice sunny day. What I would have done differently on this probably get a little higher shutter speed just because I feel like it’s a little blurry but not enough to be noticeable.

Kaylee

I thought this picture was really cool because I got the basketball in focus and she is slightly out of focus. I took this photo for my senior collage assignment even though she is a sophomore at GKHS. I used photoshop to make the background black and white and leave the ball in color. My aperture value was 4.5. My shutter speed was 1/25.

Illusions

Photo by: Tyler Carlyle

I chose this picture because it is something different than what we are used to seeing. I set the shutter speed a little slower than normal to allow me to zoom in and out. It was at about a half second, and as I pressed the shutter I zoomed in and out to create the visual effect seen in the photo. I like this photograph because of the color, and how unique the assignment was.

Snowy Night

Photo by: Brooke Adams

I took this photo for our slow shutter speed night photography assignment. My shutter speed was set to 30 seconds, and my ISO was set at 100. I took this photo of my front yard with the intention of capturing the falling snow, but the snowflakes were too fine. However, I really liked how the light across the street casted a red glow, while the light from my yard gave a bluish glow, making the photo more interesting.

Smile for a flower

Photo by: Elizabet Beggs


I love this Picture; the blue background is so vivid even though the day was a bit crummy. But I think it turned out good. I took about five of the same pictures with different props, first an umbrella (because it raining) then a series of fake flowers and the one in the picture was a best it somehow feels right with all the colors in the background and her makeup. Even though the flower was fake she thought it smelled good so she took a big whiff and smiled she didn’t even know I was taking the picture.

Night Life

Photo by: Justin McAulay

It was a wonderful Thursday afternoon, me and some buddies if mine decided to take a journey to the depths of Tacoma. We snapped photos all night and day to accomplish our goal of taking the most fabulous picture ever. Day had become dusk, dusk had become night. And as the clock struck midnight, I brainstormed the most brilliant idea ever. I found some lights that were not too bright that stared out into the water, who stared out into the city. I twisted the camera to an angle to give the image an interesting perspective. I thoroughly enjoyed the photo, probably the best picture I have ever taken. The only thing I could find wrong with the photo is that some of the lights are a little too bright. But I had to have a long enough exposure to bring out the light on the water and other stuff. I used a thirteen second exposure for these effects.

Slow Love

Photo by: Rosie Moslander

What we had to do was have an added light source to the picture and have our shutter speed at the right speed to get the picture. My ISO was set at 1600. My shutter speed at 5 seconds. My aperture was f/22. I like this picture because I think it just looks cool and has a really cool effect to it. It was actually kinda hard to get this picture because I couldn’t seem to get the shutter speed slow enough to complete the heart. But after a few tries, I got it.

Courtney

Photo by: Halee Dew

This photo is of one of my long time friends Courtney Johnston. For the assignment we had to do a senior collage and right when I heard that I immediately thought of this stair case. I like how the stairs are not all one color, there are parts that faded out and then there are dark spots. When taking the photo I made sure I got her to sit in a way where there would be almost no sun on her face, and I wanted a unique angle.

Night Photography

Photo by: Danielle Gintz

I took this photo for our Slow Shutter Speed assignment. I wanted to get a clear shot of the inlet and the houses on the other side of the lake. Since it was dark out I had to slow down the shutter speed and widen the lens opening so I could get a good exposure. I was really happy with how the photo came out.

Talking to myself

Photo by: Mae Snaer


What I attempted to do was demonstrate double exposure in a way while having some sense to make a story. So I just had my friend sit in a different position almost the opposite side of where they sat. Instead of the same basic pose it looked like they were two different people, both in different poses. As for camera setting I had my shutter speed set to “bulb” then applied the light source manually with a flashlight. I did not have my flash on, and the room was completely dark. What I like the most about the photo is how clear the exposure turned out, and was not blurry. Also I appreciate my friend in the photo who stayed entirely still without moving throughout the whole process.
