reflections-kash

My brother in law is an amazing photographer, and he helped me take these photos. He let me use his external flash and tripod, and then we set everything up in my kitchen. It was really neat to see the different shapes and reflections the water makes when the tiny little drop hits the glass bowl. I had so much fun with this, and I learned so much about using flash and getting the correct exposure. The most difficult thing for me was timing everything just right to get the drop in the frame. Anyway, reflections are definitely something neat to play with and I am so glad we did this assignment!

architecture-sorry for being late!

I'm sorry I am so late on posting pictures for my own topic! I took these photos a day before the assignment was over with and then for some reason forgot to post them that night. I was also kind of rushed when I took these photos, and I didn't really feel like I got any good shots. Anyway sorry for the delay! But I am super excited for the reflections assignment and I will try to keep up better from now on!

P.S. You guys all did such an amazing job on the architecture photos! I am so impressed by all of them! They all turned out so well, and I thought it was really neat to see all the different buildings and architecture styles throughout the posts!

texture-kash

The first picture is from a tire, and the other three are actually some trash I found near my apartment's dumpster! Pretty gross, I know! :)

For Kash

Hi all, sorry this is in the wrong spot, but Kash, I looked at this photo and loved it!!!! I think it would be great to frame! Anyhow, I wanted to see what it would be like as a proper panorama, so I spent a bit of time in photoshop using the clone stamp and smudge tools to neaten up the joins and edges. I hope you don't mind :) xx

motion-kash

I thought this subject was so fun! I really enjoyed thinking of ideas, and I ended up deciding on something with freezing motion. I took these shots of my husband while we were on our trip to Australia. We had so much fun skiing and snowboarding at Perisher, and it was so nice to see Canberra and even get to meet some of you! Thanks again for letting me be apart of the blog- it is so fun and I love working on each assignment!

nature- kash

Here are my nature shots! This topic was so much fun! Can't wait for the next one!

Lines

I'm so sorry this post is late! I took these photos before I left on a trip to Montana with my husband and some of his co-workers. I was told there would be internet connection at the ranch we were staying at but unfortunately the internet was down the whole time. I couldn't decide if I should just forget about this assignment and start on the next one, or if I should go ahead and post it. I figured that I could delete it after I have it up for a day or so, and then all of the Nature shots would still be in order. Let me know what would work best and again, I am so sorry for being late!

bokeh assignment

Well this is my first time posting on this blog and I'll admit I'm a little nervous to submit my photos! I am Kalista's younger sister, and although I'm super excited to be apart of the group, I just barely got a SLR camera and am still learning how to use it! I was a little unsure of what to submit for this assignment because I read so much about bokeh and read how there is both good and bad bokeh, I just couldn't really tell the difference myself! Hopefully that will be one of the things I'll be able to learn from this blog :) The photo I ended up choosing for this assignment is one I took of a young robin I've been watching since it was only an egg in the tree right outside my apartment complex. This was actually the last time I saw the robin because as soon as I took this photo it flew away for the first time and never came back to it's nest!

Anyway, I can't wait to work on more assignments and to learn more about photography from all of you! Thanks for letting me join the group!
