Dew you see what I see?

Photo By: Amber Harris
As I walked around filling my mind with ideas of what I wanted to capture, I felt water droplets drop on my face. I look up to see a beautiful spider web with dew glistening on it. I wanted the biggest drop-let in the center of the web to be in focus and I was successful. I am very happy with how this photo turned out and how it shows the beauty of nature.

Panning shot

Photo by: Wendy Hernandez

In this photograph, I attempted to create my first panning effect. It was actually quite difficult for me, I took several photographs before I finally achieved a somewhat clear photo of my subject with the panning effect.  I was however pleased on how clear and up close this photo was. When I was shooting, I would photograph the cars too far and not really capture the panning effect.

Pretty Pinecone

Photo by: Samantha McNab

I used a macro lens to take this photo. The pinecone was high in a tree so I had to stand on my tippy toes to get a good shot of it. I also had to get the camera really close to the tree and pinecone to get the camera to focus. I like this picture because the middle of the pinecone is in good focus, and the color is very vibrant.

Beauty and the Beast

The dandelion was placed there next to the mushrooms because I saw the potential of the mushrooms and the dandelion, causing a contrast from the dark black spots to the vibrant yellow hue. However after I placed the photo and began tweaking it in Photoshop I soon came to the realization that the picture would in fact, appear more intense and vibrant if it was changed into a black and white photograph. The detail on the delicate flower and the bumps on the mushroom would grow more intense and visually pleasing if the blacks and whites had a greater contrast. With that I went to the black and white feature and adjusted the colors little by little in order to get the amount of black and white and gray in between that I wanted.

 

Rainy Day

Photo by:  Sabrina Moon

This photo had many qualities that I liked. I did extreme macro so I did the lends flip so I could get really close to my subject. When I took the photo the leaf was very small and it looked cool when I could get super close to it. I also liked how the raindrops were super clear and crisp. I like doing extreme macro with raindrops because it makes the picture look unique and clear.

Changing of Seasons

Photo by: Tiffany Reynolds

This picture is representing Fall. I wanted to focus on the yellow leaf in the middle, because it’s the only yellow one in the picture so naturally your eye goes to the bright subject. I am happy with my picture, but next time I might try a different angle just to get a different perspective. Or I could try a smaller depth of field. The picture is in focus especially on the veins of the leaves. This picture shows that even though the seasons are changing we can find joy in the little things.

Footbal

Photo by: Olivia Kovacs

In my photo I attempted to capture the action of the play in the game. I tried to get a good angle straight on so that I could see the ball and the players face. I am very happy with the results because I got the shot I wanted and it was a good quality picture. Also, the player had a good facial expression which made the photo more alive.

Bright Colors

Photo by:  Nancy Zuñiga

I Love this photo because I got the edges of the flower sharply focused, the bright colors attracted my attention and reminded me of fall colors. This photo was easy to take I just had to manually adjust the lens so that the edges could come out sharp. This was like the 2^nd shot I took of this flower and it came out looking great.

Rusty Magic

This photo was very easy to take. The only unique thing about my camera when I took this photo was that I used a tellaconverter. That allowed me to be able to take the macro type photo without the macro lens and getting extremely close.  The original photo I took before editing was actually unfocused in spots because of an aperture of 1.8. In Adobe Bridge I used Camera Raw to edit and really cleared up the photo.

Smile

This was interesting because I wanted to practice with the 300mm lens and I talked my little sister into being a model, but I love the way it turned out! Solid focus on her hair and eyes/eyebrows, the offset face makes me adore it even more. The whole feeling is super happy and bubbly like y’all just shared a good laugh, plus her freckles are just adorable! I played with the editing settings a bunch, where I lightened her eyes and focused on different aspects, but the black & white overlay gave it just the right toned down hint of simple beauty I like.

 

Mist Beauty

Photo by: Lexi Jolynne

I attempted to take a macro photo. I used a macro lens on my camera and got a close as I possibly could on my subject. I absolutely love this photo because of the focus on the flower. I am happy with my results on the photo because I love flowers and the rain so having a flower with mist on it is really pretty. I would have lowered my shutter speed to get a little bit more lighting in the photograph.

let me see you’re tootsie roll

 For this picture I had to flip my lens to get the super macro effect. Getting this close to a subject my iso had to be bumped up to 200 and my shutter speed at 1/40. I tried to capture how dirty and wet the wrapper was. 

 

Water Web

Photo by:  K.Ooley

I like this photo because of how difficult it was to take, since I had to flip the lens around, and find the spot that had the most focus. This was a fun picture to take that took some time, and multiple attempts, but I am happy with how this one turned out. If I could have done one thing differently, I would have tried to get even more of the picture in sharper focus, but overall I am pleased with my results.

Pumpkin in the fall

Photo by:  Kori Churchill

In this picture I used a macro lens. I had to hold the pumpkin in a certain way to capture all of the pumpkin and try to keep it in focus. I liked how the stem is in complete focus and is in dead center in the picture. I am very happy on how it turned out!

Plant Life

I took this picture at Heritage, I lens-flipped my camera and got on top of the cement block and this was in the crease.

Colors of Fall

Photo by:  Ciera Warness

This photo I took is everything I think of when I think of my favorite month, October. I tried to capture the joyful mood of fall with the vibrant colors of the leaves, sweater and sprinkles. I loved the way my photo turned out because it reminds me of all the reasons I love Fall.

Early Morning Photography

Crimzon Heinrich

 I attempted an extreme macro photo of the dew on some plants, and I was happy to find out I achieved it. The cool thing about extreme macro is you actually take the lens off and flip it around. With a few changes of the settings you’re ready to take a photo. I like the look of the photo and the depth of field. It’s also cool to see the green and the lead through the water drops. Something different I would do would be to show more raindrops.

Macro Leaf

Photo by: Connor Loose

In this photo I attempted to gather focus of the main veins of the leaf. I tried this because I wanted the veins to lead around the whole photo. I also tried shooting in a unique angle to get the water to reflect the light in the perfect way so it would make a special effect and make the photo’s uniqueness special and creative.

Red Car

Photo by: Carissa Hall

I took this photo for class and it was really hard to get the car in focus and everything else blurring. I took it during a cloudy day and I think it makes the red color pop. I took the picture by moving with the car, I hit the shutter button and moved with the car. It took a lot of tries to get the photo perfect, But the more pictures I took the better I got. I really love how it turned out. 

The lonely pinecone

Photo by: Austin Herdt

 

For this photo I shoot it in manual mode, with a macro lens on. I thought it would be cool to single out a pinecone while still getting some of the tree instead of just a boring old pinecone.
