Winter Berries

Photo by: Zoe Lufkin

For this picture I was doing a still life photo shoot, but this particular photo does not seem to qualify. Still, I especially liked the simplicity and contrast between the dark shadows on the lower part while the top is brighter. The branch of berries is being held up perpendicular to the pavement, I love the focus that came of it.  I sort of wish I could have gotten the entire branch/leaves in the picture, but it is still pleasing. The berries may not be the most attractive but the harsh winter idea gives it a strong survivor feeling making it happy.

Balance

Photo by: Tiffany Reynolds

For this picture I wanted to try something that I saw someone do online. I wanted to see if I could do the same thing with balancing the egg on the forks and get a good result. I am happy with the result I got. I like how much the egg is in focus with sharp edges. If I tried it again I would find a place that had a big enough background that I could get the entire fork in the picture.

 

Fall

Photo by: Selena Shippey

I was trying to get a fall feel through this picture and I used a photo room to create the white background and red leaves I picked from a tree. Once I was in the room I turned up the lighting and arranged the leaves in a circle and used the best and most vibrant leaf for the middle. After I captured the picture I turned every leaf in the photo to black and white and left the middle one red. Then I enhanced the red color to add a feel to it. Then I just fixed the brightness and then rotated it to the correct angle.

Fall Ball

Photo by:  Samantha McNab

I tried to take a still life picture of a football and some leaves around it to make it look fall-like. I wanted it to look right so I took like a million pictures to make it right. I had to pick up dirty leaves off of the ground. I would be more creative if I actually had stuff to take pictures of, the football is just kind of boring. But other than that I enjoy the picture.

All Smiles

Photo by:  Sadie Armstrong

This picture is of a student at lunch in the cafeteria talking to her friends. I used a 7200 canon lens which allowed me to zoom in on her from across the cafeteria. Doing so enabled me to capture her facial expression as she chatted with her peers. I like the picture because it is a true candid picture, she has no idea that I was capturing her smile so the smile you see is a real smile, not staged. I then took the picture and switched it over to black and white and made it my own style. I do not like that there are other people’s heads in the frame so next time I will make sure there is no one in the way of the shot.

 

Ice Leaf

Photo by: Sabrina Moon

In this photo I took a picture of a leaf with frost on it. I used extreme macro so I could see the ice pellets. I like how this photo turned out so that I could see each individual piece of ice. What I would have done differently would have been to make it a little more clear by not wiggling. Overall I am proud of this photo.

Panning

Photo by: Olivia Kovacs 

I took my panning photo at school while the cars are driving by. I was trying to keep the car in focus but everything else blurry. I just focused on the car and moved the camera sideways while taking the photo. I am very happy with this photo and it earned best in class. I would not do anything different.

Pearly White

Photo by:  Nancy Zuniga

This photo is a great picture of still life and fill the frame, I took this picture indoors which made it a little yellow but with the help of Photoshop I fixed it up to make it look white. I really like this picture because it has an elegant touch to it. The only thing I would change would be the place I took it in so I wouldn’t have to Photoshop it because it looks a little grainy but other than that I’m in love with this picture !

Card Game

Photo by:  L.Seal

I really like this picture because the way I focused on the cards in the middle and the dice. Spot coloring is my favorite effect to do on pictures so I tried it with this.

Fall In Love with Rogers

Photo by:  Kyler Ooley

I wanted to capture the season of fall, as well as show some ram pride. The angle of the picture gives it a neat view, and the colors really stand out. I am pleased with how this photo turned out because it was fun to set up, and the coloring really gets my attention. If I were to do this picture again, I would try and put a design of some sort around the word “RAMS”.

Kitty Cat

Photo by:  Kori Churchill

In this picture you will see my cat I was trying to captor his refection in the mirror. Which I succeeded. It took forever to try and get him without moving in the shot. I love how he is in focus and his reflection is a little blurred out. I would have done my lighting a little differently but I like the outcome of it.

 

Beach Glass

Photo by: Jayson Lyons

This photo was difficult to get because the only thing I could use for a light source was a lamp and a flashlight. So achieving a properly exposed photograph was a pain. Also the white balance was difficult to get right. All in all I am happy with the composition and the photo.

H for Haley

Photo by: Haley Nagel

In this photo I attempted to make an H for Haley. I placed the marbles in the slots of the picnic table, stood up and took the picture. I like how the picture turned out because the colors of the marbles were bright and you can slightly see the blurred image on the converse under the table. If I did something differently I probably would have spread it out a little more to make it look more spacious and not as squished.

 

Mirror reflection

Photo by:  Crimzon Heinrich

My photo is a reflection of jacks on a mirror. I attempted to get the reflection and succeeded with a good photo! I would have wished it was a better day so you could see the blue in the sky, and that the lighting was different. But overall it was a good photo!

Patience

Photo by:  Connor Loose

I tried to get a picture of my dog staring at the tennis ball because she normally sits still and looks at the ball waiting for me to throw it. So I thought it would make a really neat small depth of field photo. It didn’t turn out as great as I expected it to be. However, if I took it in a different environment it would turn out better.

meow

Photo by:  Cierra Warness

I caught my cat at the perfect moment staring at himself. I thought it was a perfect example of reflection and I had to capture it. It was hard to get my cat to cooperate but after awhile I got this shot.

Color Pencils

Photo by: Carissa Hall  

I took this picture for my photo 2 class and it was for reflection. I like this photo because I like how only one pencils is in focus and the others are not. I should have zoomed out a little more so you could see the other pencils a little better. I think that the pictured out really good and could have done maybe a little better the focus.

Purple fire

Photo by: Austin Herdt

I went to a career day at the elementary down the street and there was an NHRA car there so I thought it would be cool to the reflection of the car and I liked the flames and the different colors in the photo while getting the sponsors in focus.

The lonely marble

Photo by:  Amber Harris

I liked this photo because of its angle. I enjoyed the simplicity of the photo and the beauty the marble has with the yellow swirls in it. The sunshine was shining and made it have a warm feeling. The rocks beneath it look kind of unique and awesome.

Double Berry Power

By: Alexis Robinson

I attempted to do a reflection photo. I took the berries off the bush and placed them on a mirror and let the berries hang naturally, I didn’t change the pose or the way they looked. I love how the berries on top are in focus and the reflection is a little blurry. It reminds me of your reflection in water.

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

Photo by:  Sadie Armstrong

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

Photo by:  Jayson Lyons

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

Photo by: Zoe Lufkin

 

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

Photo by:  L.Seal

 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

Photo by: Haley Nagel

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.

F-5.6
Shutter Speed-1/320
ISO-400

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.

Rolling By

Savannah Allen This panning photo was extremely difficult to get the first time when trying this technique; however, I was able to capture this old fashioned car at the last second. Then I added effects to it and it turned out pretty cool.

Walking Back

Photo by: Samantha Ong I took a picture of my friend for her senior pictures. I wanted to take a picture of her with just her in focus with all the rest of the background blurred, so I thought what better lens than the 50mm to do the job. We also found the white berry looking thinks and I wanted it to be blurred out in front just like when someone looks through a branch of a tree. After that, I decided to make it look like it was taken by a polaroid and add some light as if taken back in the 70’s. Overall I learned a new technique and successfully used the 50mm lens.

Blue Magic Swag

Photo by: Roobeen Hernnndeuzz I love how this Photo came out. The HDR process was hard to work at first but I toyed with all the effect and figured out how to do some really cool effects. The photo was pretty easy to take I just took 3 simultaneous pictures with the AEB maximum and it under exposed, properly exposed and over exposed the pictures and merged them.

No Title Submitted :(

Photo by: Rachel Moon This was the first time I have ever taken an HDR photograph. This was a brand new experience for me! I never heard of this type of photography. I had fun with this. I really like how the tree and the snow have a big contrast in color. I’m happy that the tree is in sharp focus. I felt very accomplished on this assignment.

On Pike and Pine

Rachael Andrews Taking this photo, I wanted to capture the iconic “Public Market” sign, but with a twist. I’ve seen many classic shots of just the sign against typical Seattle grey sky. As I went to take the photo, I noticed the street sign read Pike Street, and decided to include it in the shot. I also decided to remove all color except the signs neon red to bring attention to it.

Blue Machine

Photo by: Naomi Sarell For this photo I had to have my camera on Auto Exposure Bracketing to get the HDR look. I used the HDR mode in Photoshop to merge the three photos and make my adjustments. This was difficult because I didn’t use tripod but the pictures ended up lining up right. I like the angle of the photo and the color of the car. I am really happy with how it turned out.

Country Girl is All I’ll Ever Be

Photo by: Makenzy Jensen This was a picture that I had taken for my senior collage in class. I didn’t use a senior cause my sister was willing to be my subject. This photo makes me laugh because I told my sister to think of something funny and just laugh. She didn’t know what to do at first so my dad fell in the field and I was able to catch this beautiful picture of her laughing. This is one of my favorite pictures of her because it just explains her so much. She is a country girl that is full of laughter and smiles. I would try to not get the sky in the background next time and just get the barn to build the effect of the photo.

My Gem

Londyn Tate I love how this photo turned out. No one was able to guess what the picture was of. It is actually my IPhone case. I used the reverse lens flip. I was a bit of a challenge, but defiantly worth it. This was an HDR assignment, I love all the effects and options HDR lets you adjust.

No Title Submitted :(

Donnie Makepeace I really liked this photo because it’s HDR and I had a great unique angle. What I tried to do is to get the whole field photo but I only got the third baseline and the batter’s box and the plate. I love how when you do HDR they turn out so cool. I’m happy with the results and the unique of the angle is so cool. What I would do different is I would want to get the whole baseball field in the photo instead of third baseball line.

HDR

Photo by:Desirae Nichoslon This was my first experience doing hdr and I really enjoyed it. They give photos such a unique look, I am very happy with my outcome. Anyone who hasn’t tried it, needs to! I really like the brightness of the rust and the cones in the background.
