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.

Digital Roll 7- Sepia Toning

This photograph was taken downtown.  I thought it would be a perfect picture to sepia tone because of the elderly man.  Also, downtown has a vintage type look, adding to the photo.

My back porch collects acorns that fall off our trees.  As I was walking by, I tried to utilize rule of thirds a bit.  I'm happy with how in focus the acorn is, while the rest of the picture is blurry.

Digital Roll 6 - Hand Coloring

While we were at Cale photographing a kindergarten class, I snapped this photo.  This kid stood out to me because of how vibrant his eyes were.  I decided it would be a nice picture to hand color digitally

In my yard, there is a bush full of these flowers.  They are very vivid in color so I figured they'd be perfect to hand color. I'm happy with how the photo turned out.
