Blue Sky's Hope

 

We were told to do an assignment of shooting a series of landscap photos. This particular photo wasn't one of the final photos chosen for my assignment because I didn't think it would pass a landscape photo. This was definitely my favorite photo taken for this month's class. It was actually raining this day, but the sky just so happen to clear up and I was able to catch a photo of the sky being at it's clearest peak. I absolutely love the turnout of this.

Look Into My Eyes

 

The photo "Look Into My Eyes" was taken for our week two portrait photography assignment. For this image, I didn't want the usual "smile for the camera" type of photo. I wanted my subject to be himself. I wanted him to be natural. I told him to do many poses he was comfortable with. He began doing so, and I just so happen to capture this one particular image. I fell in love with this photo as soon as I laid eyes on it. What really stood out to me was the way the photo actually focuses on the subject's eyes.

Wilderness

 

A friend and I were out doing a little photography. We saw these woods in the back of one of our largest parks in the Valdosta, GA area. This section is actually a part of a Disk Golf course. The division of the trees were very beautiful to me. I just had to snap the photo. This was one of my top 5 photos fromm the week one assignment of Landscape photography.

Greenery of Life

 

This photo was taken for our week two assignment. The assignment focused on depth of field. We were to take different photos showing our understanding of shallow and deep depth of field. I just so happen to be scanning the area with my camera and caught these leaves hanging on the tree in front of my house. I loved how crystal clear the image came out, as well as how blurred the background of the image looked. I chose it as one of my top photos for the assignment.

Railroad Blues

 

During the process of me shooting a music video for someone, we were near a railroad trach. A train had just gone by and the arms let up. I figured this would make an awesome photo for our week two depth of field focues. The background was blurred just right for the image to come out amazingly beautiful.

Visions Through A Lens

 

This photo was taken for our week two assignment which focused on portrait photography. This was one of the photos that was chosen for my self portrait slots. I wanted to do something cool for the self portraits so I decided to take one with camera. I absolutely loved it. Not only did the image focus on my camera, but my eye as well. The depth of field within this image made it pop. This was definitely one of my top photos.

Everything Looks Better in Black & White

 

This photo was my second image for the self portrait assignment. I wanted a black and white image, so I took this one and put a black and white edit on it before I submitted it. I absolutely loved the way this image turned out. Of course, I did not follow the rule of thirds within this image. I actually didn't follow it purposely.

Forest Frenzy

 

This photo was taken on the same day as the wilderness photo. While I was out with a friend doing a photoshoot, I just so happen to find ann area of woods. This area was so beautiful to me. I just had to use the photo for out week one assignment. The assignment focused on us taking landscape photos.
