I snapped this right when a storm was blowing in. I like the contrast between dark and light sky.



This is my self-portrait.




These are all 13 pics for my photo-shoot. I chose my twin,Grace, for my model.



These are photos of the statue at Fountain Square, Cincinnati.

This one's my favorite.

I killed two birds with one stone and took pics of things that make up me while using perspective. This is my guitar.

Sports.

My glasses.

My ipod.

My baby, a.k.a my airsoft gun.

Food!

Photography!Also, a picture of  myself ( or a picture of a reflection of myself) could be considered something that has to do with me.

These are lighting photos I took of my little cactus. This is front-lighting.

Side-lighting.

These are both back-lighting. I like how you can see the sun's rays.

Photography lighting

      Light is essential for photography. Photographers can use natural light, or they can control the lighting in their surroundings by making artificial light.
      Natural light is thought of by most photographers as the best source of light. It makes use of the whole light spectrum, and therefore has almost no distorted colors. The only bad thing is that it is not continous; the sun's position, the number of clouds in the sky and the time of day all affect natural light.
      Artificial light is more controllable than natural light, but it does not always cover the whole light spectrum and can discolor pictures. Different artificial lights are: florescent, tungsten, and flash.
      Photographers use direct and diffused lighting so as to control light's direction. Direct lighting hits the photo's focal point from a certain direction, making contrasting dark and bright areas. Diffused lighting reflects the source of light, so that it goes onto the focal point at several angles.
      Filters can also control light by lessening glare and allowing certain types of light through.

I had put the globe in a patch of sunlight streaming through the window. As a result, the globe was really bright, and the background was pitch black.

I like how I got just the ball on the page, and how the foreground is more clear than the background. That's my dad reading the paper.

I didn't know where the rule of thirds setting was, so I eyeballed it.
