Portfolio (First Semester)

I chose this picture because it is my "Thanksgiving" photo. I like the colors of it and I used the rule of thirds because the pie isn't centered. I like the focus on this picture because the other pies in the background are blurry and this puts emphasis on the first pie. This is the "Before" Sunprint photo. I chose Sillybanz because they showed different aspects about my personality. We had to put the paper in sunlight and put the objects on it and wait a while. When we though the paper had been exposed long enough we stopped the process by putting the paper under water. My banana barely came out because the bracelet was
clear. This is my "After" Sunprint picture. I used Photoshop to try different effects on the photo. I liked this activity because it showed me how Photoshop can transform a picture and make it look completely different than the original photograph.
This is my self-portrait and I chose it because it shows my personality. I dressed up in red because I wanted to show my class spirit because I am on student council. I had my mom take the picture at a low angle looking up at me, so that she could capture my whole body when I jumped up.

This is my photo for value. I chose it because it shows a variety of tones of grey, white, and black. I chose to take the picture of a spider-web because it looks simple and the black and white color emphaisis the web.


I chose this portrait because it shows the emotion: removed. I chose to emphasize her emotion by capturing the photo in black and white. It was hard to get the portraits because it was difficult to capture the emotions the right way.
This is the photo I used for my photo quiz rule of thirds part. I framed the rose by using the rule of thirds. I chose to capture it at a low angle, so that the flower looked huge. I like that the sunlight is behind the trees and that is almost looks like a back-light for the rose.
This is the photo I chose for my photo essay. It won photo of the day and I love it. My photo essay topic was about Mercy Week. This photo was taken during our Mercy Day Rally. I love this photo because Rachel is not centered, but she is main person in the picture. I chose to keep the picture in color beacuse I love that there is red everywhere because that's the senior class color.

This photo was from my Autobiography. The topic was favorite place, and I decided to take a picture of my keychain collection because it shows some of my favorite places. I took the picture almost dead-on, but I wish I had taken it at a more unique angle though.
