By: Kelsey Nore This photo was taken for a photo contest for my photo II class. The assignment had to do with patterns in nature. I like the way the petals over lap, creating a cool pattern effect. The photo was originally further back, showing the whole flower, but I cropped it to focus on the leaves.

Cool Drink in a Christmas Cup

Photo by: Kaia Jerome In this photo, I attempted to catch the pouring milk so it was clear, along with keeping the milk in the cup clear as well. This photo felt homey to me, and the antique touch I made in photoshop enhanced that. If I could change anything, I would have the red mug more in focus, because although it is not the focal point of the photo, it’s an important subject. But other than that I’m glad I captured this!

An Anime View...

By: Justin Balas This project was very interesting to me. Being new to the perks of Adobe Photoshop, I learned how to do this effect from a written tutorial on the web. Using the liquify tool to edit this photo opened up a whole new world for me! I was able to manipulate and alter Abby Advincula’s facial structures. Her features look how they do because that is what anime characters are like. The most creative fun I have had with a photo!

Tales for Autumn

Photo by: Heather Greenwood This photo was taken for a Still Life assignment. I was supposed to attempt to duplicate a still life photo I found online. The original was interesting, but it was blurry and the artist had used a modern looking planner-type book for their subject. I thought the surrounding leaves called for a more traditional, old looking novel to be the subject. To make the overall photo look soft and dreamy, I took my aperture down the farthest it could go to blur the background and edges. It ended up blurring more than I had expected, but I decided to keep the effect (now I think it’s too much and I’ll do it a little differently next time).

It’s time to fall

By Hannah Whitehead As the leaves are changing, falling on the ground, creating a beautiful scenery I decided to capture a colorful picture. As you can see how the red is vibrant and as the green grass is just peeking through. I love this picture, plus red is my favorite color so it worked out perfectly!

By Maddie Keaton I took this photo for our October Theme assignment. One day I decided to scout out my backyard for any fall related things that I could photograph and these half blue/half dusty looking flowers caught my eye. I thought it was interesting how every year these types of flowers turn a dusty golden color on the edges, so I decided that they’d be perfect for my project!

The King Has Fallen

Photo by: Brandon Han For this assignment, we were supposed to replicate a photo that we liked on the internet. As one can see from my photo, all I had to do was to let the king lie down and place a bishop standing over it. The lighting was hard to copy since there wasn’t any sunlight the day I took it so I used my lamp light which was white to shine from the corner. However, I did not realize my sister’s homework sitting on the lamp until after I got done editing the picture; it was not supposed to be there. I had to take this picture at 1/60 shutter speed with an ISO of 1600.

A Crook in Life.

Photo by: Abby Advincula In this photo is a tree from my backyard, before there were so many leaves with different colors from green, red, and yellow. But I decided to wait until the leaves were almost completely gone. And I finally got my image going. I love how the crook and twist of the tree is more visible so it has an eerie and mysterious look about it. I wish this wasn’t only an autumn theme picture because I wanted to do a lot more with this picture like a fantasy dream kind. But I love how it turned out and I wouldn’t change much of it. (:

Leaf

Photo by: Morgan Griffin In this photo I attempted to make the background blurry and the leaf in focus. I didn’t try anything special. I am happy with the results I think it looks pretty good, a little blurry though. I would have put a little more effort or time into the picture.

Photo by: Kamryn Taylor I love this photo; everything about it is really beautiful to me. The color contrast and the rain drops are all really great. The rain drops turn out really well with them being in perfect focus. I took this picture for a close-up or macro assignment and I was really happy to find this flower still alive since it was so cold. Over all I’m really happy with it.

On the same level

Photograph by: Sidnee Lee I chose this photo, because I thought the angle and perspective that it was at, was very neat. The color of this photo is also what drew me to choosing this one. I enjoy taking pictures like these because I enjoy the nature scenes.

Looking In

Photo by: Thalia Chavez I took this picture of my Cousin Kasey’s eye because she has beautiful eyes. We were working on macro photos and I decided she was perfect for the photo. What I love most about this picture is that her eye pops and the side of her face and her nose is white.

Cute As A Button

Photo by: Samantha Frasier This is a photo I took for macro photography. I poured a bottle of buttons on my table, put on my macro lens and took pictures from all different angles; this is the picture that turned out the best. It took some editing to lighten the photo and bring out the photo.

Dicin’ It Up

Photo by: Ryan Legaspi I specifically chose this photograph because of the combination of distinguishable colors. The vibrant and contrasting colors were unique to any of the other Macro Photographs I had taken in the assignment. I took this photograph on my desk, and surprisingly I was able to capture additional colors in the background. The hazy blue lighting in the background came from my laptop.

Parasols

Photo by: Oscar Campos-Morales In this picture I’m attempting in doing Macro Photography in white was on of our projects, so I decided to use this mini beverage umbrella. My main attempt in this picture was to focus more into the center point of this small umbrella, but I am satisfied with how it looks like.

Burned Cupcake

-Maddison Keaton I took this delicious photo for a “Close-Up” assignment. It’s definitely a lot of fun to take pictures of food. I thought a close up of a cupcake would be perfect for this. I ended up darkening the edges in Photoshop to emphasize the cupcakes appearance. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good!

Blown Away

Photo by: Kelsey Nore This picture was taken on the campus of my high school by the baseball fields. It was a really pretty sunny day when I took this photo, and the fall colors really popped. It was slightly windy, and I found the leaf like this, blown into the fence like this. I thought it was super cool.

Blue Autumn

Photo by: Kaia Jerome In this photo, I attempted to capture the leaves from a different angle. I was able to make not only the leaves clear, but the rocky ground in focus as well which I’m happy about! The photo wasn’t originally antique colored until I edited it, but now that I did I really enjoy the effect. It kind of gives a blue feeling, in contrast to the brightness of the red leaves.

Shimmering Mist

Photo by: Justin Balas This photo was taken by reversing my lens. I was out in my yard one soggy Sunday morning when I came across a baby rose stem covered in dew. I tried sharpening my macro photography technique, and the result was this magnificent photo! I like the light through the center dew drop because it adds an essence of serenity.

The Illuminated Path

Photo by: Heather Greenwood I love early autumn for the beautiful range of colors backed up by a bright, cloudless sky. I was excited to take fall-themed pictures for our next photo assignment and found this tree and pathway near the Nathan Chapman trail. The sun behind the tree makes the trail behind it bright and warm looking, and it shines through the yellow tree, brightening the leaves even more. The ori

ginal photo was a bit darker and the colors didn’t show up as well, so I used Camera Raw to make the leaves look more yellow and add more warmth to the photo.
