Roll 13- Ambiguous Portraits

The assignment of this roll was to take ambiguous portraits of animals or people.

I was at a friend's house when I saw that their dog was up against the fence looking at the cows.  I then saw a cow walk over, and the animals sniffed eachother.  Luckily I had my camera so I took the shot.  I am very happy with this picture.

Roll 8- Hand Coloring

The assignment for this roll was to hand color black and white photographs.

WHen my sister was younger, she carved a watermelon out of wood, and then painted it.  I thought it might be cool if I take a photo of it, and hand color it.  I added brown to the red part of it to keep a slight wood look to it.

We keep fruit in our house all the time.  I decided to take an apple a put it on the railing outside.  I like that I used rule of thirds in this photograph.  I also was happy with only hand coloring certain branches as well as the subject.

Digital Roll 8- Blue Toning

Leading down to the lake in my neighborhood are these stairs.  I like that the edges of the stairs are leading lines.  The blue toning adds a somewhat cold and mysterious feel to the picture.

This is the lake in my neighborhood.  This tree is at a steep angle over the lake, so I decided to take a picture of it.  I like that the boat in the background doesn't interesect with the tree.

Roll 11- Carter's Mountain

The assignment for this roll was to take photographs at Carter's Mountain

On the mountain there is a broken and rusty truck.  I like this picture because not many people have seen the truck, so it is somewhat unique.

A bottle was resting on the stairs of the abandoned house at Carter's Mountain.  The light was coming in through a windownear the bottle.  I love the way the lighting is in this photographs.  It is one of my favorites of the year.

Roll 9- Spring Break

The assignment for this roll was to shoot pictures over spring break.

My sister visited Jamaica, and brought back these maracas.  They were sitting on her desk under a lamp.  I like the way the light reflects off of them.  Also, I like the contrast of this photograph, with the darks darker and the light lighter.

We occasionally have poker night with my family.  One night, before the chips were dealt out, I took a picture.  Again, I am happy with the contrast in this photograph.  If I could change one aspect, I wouldve tried to clean the negative more carefully.

Digital Roll 10- Studio Flash

I thought using color with the studio flash unit might look cool, so I looked around the room, and found colored pencils.  I am happy with how the photograph turned out because of the way the light reflects off the back of the pencils.

The second object I used were Maggie's glasses.    The light reflected off the lenses nicely.  In addition, I think I utilizes the rule of thirds fairly well.

Digital Roll 9- Split Toning

At the lake in my neighborhood, there are steps leading to the water.  I thought that with the blue and yellow tones in the picture, Split toning it would look nice.

These pods hang off a tree in my yard.  I like the angle which I took the picture.  Once again, with the blue and green tones, I thought split toning would look nice.
