Land of Giants

For our photography project we had to take to pictures and make them look like a bigger or smaller version of us was in the picture. I took a picture of the christmas village at home, then i took a picture of myself figure skating and put it in the other picture.

Best Of October and November!

OCTOBER

 I chose this picture for one of my Best of October because I really like how rich the colors are, the way the clouds look, and how clear the picture is.

I chose this as my second Best of October picture because I really like how the one leaf is in focus and how its the only one going in the right direction. Also how the the back round is a little blurred.

Open Theme 4 (Nov. 2)

I like this one because it shows the change in the seasons and I also like the feeling the sky and trees give.

Shutter Speed: 1/320

Aperture: f/3.1

IOS: 64

Focal Length: 6.5mm

Flash: Off

I chose this picture as one because I like how it is a leading line, the trees are dark, and the reflection of the sky on the water. I also like it because this picture was taken in the morning but looks like it was taken at night.

Shutter Speed: 1/250

Aperture: f/3.1

IOS: 64

I chose this one because I like the lines and how they are taking your eyes backward.

Shutter Speed: 1/200

Aperture: f/8.0

IOS: 64

Focal Length: 6.5mm

Flash: Off

This is a texture that I like because it has some nice color to it and it's not just one texture in the, cause you have the rocks, pine needles, and the dirt. 

Shutter Speed: 1/80

Aperture: f/3.9

IOS: 160

Focal Length: 10.1mm

Flash: On

I picked this as my last texture because you have more than one texture in the picture again and there are some great shadows in the picture. What I mean by more than one texture is that some clothes pins are smooth others are rough and you also got a texture is you walk and let the clothes pins hit your hand.

Shutter Speed: 1/200

Abandoned

I chose this one as a abandoned object because it is all rusty and no longer in use, it hasn't been in use for at least 7 years. This is the top "T" part of a clothes line in our yard. 

Shutter Speed: 1/100

Aperture: f/ 8.0

IOS: 64

I chose this picture because it show good abandonment. No one has taken care of the brick. I also like it because of the contrast between the red and blue. 

Shutter Speed: 1/8

IOS: 320

Focal Length: 12.5mm

Flash: Off

I like this one as a extra because some of the window is broken with it all boarded up, the paint chipping on the around the window, and the brick falling out. I think the picture could of also been a bit less blurry.

Pictures I took a while ago (1-3 years ago-some more recent)

I choose this picture because when I look at my eyes go strait to the groom, bride, and flowers. I also picked this picture because it reminds me of a fun day. The picture was taken right after they got married before in La Crosse. I had to let the photographer take the family pictures that I was in 

I picked this photo because the picture is very clear and the goose is the main subject. I took this picture in Wisconsin Dells out side our cabin at the Wilderness Resort. We were packing up and saw them and I had to take pictures, they were so close to us you could have pet one.

I choose this picture because I love how the sun hits the edges and how the beams of light look. When ever I see this picture that I took I always think it looks like god is showing his powers. The picture was taken in West Salem.

I like this picture because the road leads your eyes to the landscape. This picture was taken in Madison at the very top of the capital building.
