Snow Storm

Photo by: Morgan Griffin I chose this photo because the ice that was around the branch was amazing looking. I don’t understand how it happened, but seeing all the trees and plants covered in ice when I walked outside in the morning was amazing looking. For this photo I used the macro lens to take it. I am happy about how it came out because it wasn’t blurry.

Hydrangeas

Photo. Taken By: Maddison Keaton I really liked how this photo turned out! I added an extra hint of purple to give the flowers a sense of warmth in a way that works well with the rusty gold color. This wasn’t taken for any particular assignment, just for fun. I’ve taken photographs of these same flowers before earlier in the first semester, but I just wanted to test out my new memory card for this.

Forever Friends

Photo by: Kamryn Taylor I took this photo for my senior collage project, though neither one of these girls are seniors I thought they would be perfect subjects. Originally I was only taking pictures of Morgan Valdez (on left), however I couldn’t resist including Randi Zitterich (on right). Both these girls are truly kind and really beautiful, inside and out. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the two of them and this was one of many favorites.

Rustic View

Photo by; Hannah Whitehead I took a trip to Seattle with my photography class and came across this building. I fell in love with it, especially since I love any type of architecture. I loved how some of the windows are missing and you can see the graffiti through the window. I did adjust the exposure and some other things to make it look more interesting.

Sunset Boat Ride

Photo by: Kaia Jerome This photo was taken at the Tacoma waterfront during sunset. I attempted to capture the boat in motion, as well as the pink colors of the sunset. I like that the water is clear of any other obstacles besides the boat, and the horizon of hills in the background. The texture of the clouds creates a cool effect as well. If I could change anything it would be for the boat to be on the left side of the photo leading in so it had some room.

Color Rush

Photo by: Brandon Han This photo created by slowing down my shutter speed to 30’ with an ISO of 200. While taking a picture of a road with cars at night, I turned my camera 360 degrees; from left to right and top to bottom. Additionally, I zoomed in and out at the road right after to create this effect. Since the exposure was really bright, I just multiplied it several times to make it just a bit darker.

Frozen In Time

Photo by: Justin Balas During the week of the crazy snow/ice storm, I utilized my time to capture some magnificent shots of this incredible weather! I was wandering around my neighborhood when I came up with the idea that I was in the Arctic Tundra and based my shots off of this theme. Not only was it fun creative play, I turned out some rather impressive shots that captured the essence of a barren and frozen wasteland. This photo depicts a fossil-like theme centered in a frozen setting. This photo wraps me in the icy environment of winter, simply by looking at it.

Dead end

Kelsey NoreI took this picture while in Seattle with my Photo 2 class. As we were walking through the city I was looking for urban shots, so that’s why I took this picture. I was kind of creeping on these people, but I found it a lot more interesting with people. This photo is a less obvious example of leading lines.

Triplets of me

Oscar Campos-Morales In this photo I attempted to do multiple exposures of myself. The way I had the different looks of myself, I used a flash light to capture each movement. What I was hard during this process was trying to stand still. But it was such an amazing fun project. Triplets of me

This Moment Forever

Photo by: Samantha Frasier I took this picture while we were in Seattle during December. My favorite part about the picture is that the couple is not moving but life around them keeps going. The cars driving and people walking, but they are in their own world. I used a slow shutter speed to capture the movement.

Written On the Walls

Photo By: Sidnee Lee I took this photo when our class went on a field trip to Seattle. I intended to take a photo that captured the colors that Seattle has even though it is grey. Seattle represents a lot in Washington and that is why I chose this photo. I loved the results that I got when I went back through my photos and loved the results. If I could have done anything different I would have done nothing different to this photo, because I do not feel that anything should be changed. It captured the moment that I wanted and that is why I chose this picture from my Seattle experience.

Flower Tiger of Seattle

Photo by: Abby Advincula I took this photo at a flower shop in Seattle. I loved how the flower looked and the colors caught my eye. I love how I made the one main flower as a center of focus. I wanted to make this flower look exotic compared to how Seattle weather is gloomy. I don’t think I would’ve changed anything but I think it would’ve been better if I had more flowers in a horizontal angle.

Open Seas

Photo by: Beatrice Romero My photograph was taken at the Tacoma Waterfront; I attempted to capture the beautiful colors in the sky, and the reflections in the water. I also used rule of thirds to make your eyes go straight to the boat. I also played around with the hues a little bit, making the sky differ from the water but still keeping it realistic.

Playtime

Photo by: Heather Greenwood The perfect opportunity to take slow shutter photos arose when I caught my baby cousin playing with her toy. The light being reflecting off the rings created a cool motion blur effect. Some problems I had with this was the poor indoor lighting, and I wish the baby would’ve stayed still so that the toy was the only thing being blurred. One thing I would’ve changed given the opportunity to do this again is the composition; maybe include more of the baby and use space better. Otherwise, I like how attention is drawn to the rings because of their vibrant color in comparison to the neutral colors elsewhere.

The Woman in Black

Photo by: Ryan Legaspi I took this photo in Centralia, WA’s Antique Mall, which is located at the heart of the town. When I looked at this photo, it appeared as if my mom (the black figure), was a ghost. I zoomed in as I took this photograph, and the paranormal, ghostly theme was the result of it. I chose this photo because I actually liked the spectral black blob. It looks supernatural; the variety of colors in the photo emphasizes the supernatural vibe I get from looking at it.

Frozen Beauty

Photo by: Thalia Chavez Over the week of frozen streets and broke trees, there were also beautiful frozen scenery. I got close and personal to some of the flowers that were frozen solid. I grabbed my camera because I knew I wouldn’t get another chance to get a picture this beautiful.
