Still Life and Movement

This is my Still Life photo. I have decided to call it "Refrigerated Summer". I really like the angle of this strawberry. I took this picture in a bowl in my kitchen. 

"Splatter". I took movement pictures with water.  I don't love the shadow in this one but I like how the water looks. I took this in a bowl.

"Tea Pot" I was boiling some tea and I decided to take a picture of the flames. I really like the angle of this one and how the flames look.

Portraits and Landscapes

Red- This is a mountain near my house. The sun was setting when I took this picture.  The mountain is reflecting the sunset colors from across the sky. And the Spruce Tree follows the rule of thirds. I took this out on the road.
THE SPLITS!-I decided to follow the theme from class last week by having my little sister do the splits for my portrait shot. I took it above her looking down so that I could have a clean background. I was in my living room.

Goof Ball-This is my goofy little brother! The sun was rising when I took this picture so we needed a slightly shady spot so the sun wouldn't be in his eyes. I managed to capture him at a good angle with the framing effect of the tree in the foreground.

Lighting

 "Prom Flowers".
For this picture I had light from outside and  I turned on the indoor lights and aimed down; away from all of the windows in the dining room. This picture has a nice background and you are able to see the beautiful flowers!
 "The Cozy Corner"
The Cozy Corner demonstrates bad lighting for my vase of flowers. I actually like the picture; it gives me a cozy feeling. But the lighting makes the flowers to dark to see. It it kinda hurts my eyes from the overexposure in the background.

"Sun"
Here in Alaska We have a thing for sun... We don't get it in the Winter. But ALAS! The Spring is coming! I took this picture around sunrise. I really love the lighting.


"Bright Sky"
 This is at noon. It is not as pretty as "Sun" which was taken in the morning. The sky is very bright and you can't make out the mountain as well.

"Photographed Painting"
It may just be my camera, but in order for it to capture low light it does something weird with the pixels. It looks really cool because it looks painted! It was overcast when I took this picture so I wasn't able to capture any sunset/twilight colors.
