Old and New

I took this photo in Washington D.C over March break. I like this photo because the light comes through from many places in the top of the photo. I think that this just brings a mood of happiness. Also the cherry blossom tree is the only thing in the photo.

This is a photo of a table decoration. I like this photo because the flower is the only thing in focus (you can see in the background that the other flower is blurred) Also the light only hits on the top 2 petals which gives the flower and interesting look.

Old and New Photo's

This is my old photo. I took it in Florida in December. I like this photo because of the sky colours and the brightness of the sun. I really like how the ground is like a silhouette and the sun lights up the sky. 

This is my new photo. I like this photo because of the shape of the flower. I also like the contrasting colours, and the angle of the photo. 

I like this pictue because of the angle it's taken from aswell

as the lighting. It stands out because everything's dark and

in the night but the object is lit up.

What i like about this picture is also the angle. I also like how 

there's an area almost in the shape of a circle where the

light is brightest and where the light hits most. Lastly

I like how you can still read the words.

Old and New

I like this photo because of lighting of the the sun lightens the dark waxy leaves of the periwinkle and the makes the flower look relfective

I like of this photo because of the shadowing and having the backround blurred the pinecone is the main focus of the photo.

Getting Started: The Essence of Things

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the digital photography club. This is where I want you to post the pictures you take, and to learn about (learn more about if you're already a pro) the wonderful world of the digital image, and ultimately about photography. We will primarily be focusing on the digital image, but will also spend some time in the dark room with tradition film. I'm posting two pictures (see above) that I think capture, not just a moment, Remembrance Day 2011 (on the left), but more importantly the essence of an individual in this case, me. Do you agree? The second image (on the right) of a student that also captures the spirit and intelligence of the subject. I want you to begin by taking similar images of each other (or of someone you select), images that capture something beyond the mere appearance of the individual and go to their very soul...

Your job is then to post your images her, and in your post explain why you believe the image(s), no more than two do so.
