Wheel In The Sky

Photo by Danielle Jack
I took this picture in my school parking lot, I ran out of things to take pictures of then I saw these shiny rims. The assignment is called “from the ground up”. I think this is a great photo and has a cool view of perspective.

I took this picture out of my window. I thought the sky looked amazing so I grabbed the camera and started snapping some pictures. I especially like the how you can see the tree line at the bottom.

Vitamin P

Photo by Nathan Kaczmarek

I took this photo around Christmas time when I came down with strep throat. I needed a photo for my close up assignment, so I set a few things up to get a good foreground, middle ground and back ground. I applied the rule of thirds and didn’t do anything in Photoshop, and I am happy with how it turned out.

Lead The Way

I took this photo one day while I was walking around Bradley Park. I saw this area and thought it would be a great shot; I manually focused the camera on the closest vertical post to me to get the background out of focus and the foreground a little out of focus. Overall I think this photo came out pretty good, I used Photoshop to saturate the trees because there was some washout in the top.

Fenced In

I took this photo for the fence assignment and liked it only for it's simplicity. I am a fan of open space and not many distraction in photos. I did a few things with photo shop to get the photo how it is. I removed a stick that was hanging in the fence and I messed with the levels to get a little bit different color. I believe that the three main colors in the background - red, white and green balance each other nicely.

Shadow of Me

Photo by Tyler Twaites

I really like this picture because I haven’t messed with it at all. Everything you see was done with the camera. For this picture I used a long shutter speed and jumped in and out of the picture to give me that see through effect. I really wish I would have moved a little to the side though, because I don’t really like the door going down my face. But over all I really like the way this picture turned out.

I like this picture because I am a fan of macro/close-up shots. I tried to get the main focus on the barb on the fence. This is the original picture. I have not messed with it at all. I really like the way the color turned out. You almost have to double check to see if it is black and white or color.

I took this picture on a nice day in June. I was in the yard just taking pictures of different things. I thought these flowers would be cool to photograph. I like this one; I chose not to crop it or anything. Because, I was trying to get the flowers to be symmetrical to each other, that’s why the flowers are in the center.

I absolutely love this picture because of the reflection of the car in the water, and the extra work I did on it in Photoshop. There was a light pole in the picture and in the reflection, but I used the clone tool to remove it, and I think it improved the photo a lot. I also turned it B&W and used the history brush to bring back the blue in the car and the reflection.

I took this picture in October around the corner from my house. My brother had just gotten off of the bus and was walking with me while I was taking pictures. He kept picking up leaves so I decided to take a picture of him picking one up and well, this was the result. I edited it in photoshop by changing the color to a more golden/sepia tone, other than that it’s my original photo.

I took this picture one day when I was walking around taking pictures for our Autumn Theme’s assignment. Since I haven’t really been satisfied with many pictures I’ve taken lately, I went through my old folders to find one to post. I forgot I had taken this one and decided to use it. I made some adjustments in Photoshop but not much. I just used the auto levels and played with the brightness and contrast, rotated it to make it straight and cropped it. It’s not my best but I’m satisfied.

The Worn Out Wheelbarrow

Chris Gaul

This is a photo of an old wheel barrow at my dad’s house. I thought this looked like an interesting shot, so I decided to take it. It had just started to snow so there wasn’t much snow on the ground and the shadow from the house and the bushes made it seem more vivid. I used Photoshop and saturated the photo to bring out the colors a little more. As I look back on the photo, I wish that I could have gotten more in it. Altogether though, I think that it came out really good.
