L.I.F.T.

Lift was the word I chose for alphabet. Lifting is a good daily routine for staying physically fit. I wanted to make the words a silhouette and the sunset made a nice background for it. I made Tanner make the letters, but he wanted to do the word lift instead of life. He figured a "t" was easier to make than an "e".   :)

Green

I chose this picture to use as my blog post because I took it when I was in Hawaii and I loved how it turned out. Geckos were all over the island and the area that we stayed in on the Big Island was all jungle so everything was very green and I feel like this picture represented Hilo nicely. I really liked the colors in the picture and the spiraling plant and would not change anything about it. The picture has leading lines, center of interest, and macro.

close up on nature

This is a close up on a white moth in the garden.
I took this for a weekly and i like the selective coloring.

Different

I took this picture as a weekly but i never used it i love the selective coloring as it floats on the surface of the water.

New persective

The school construction from the workers point of view.

The Last season

These gloves have  made it through high school and now I only have one more season of football left. Just finished spring ball and that was my last one but these gloves have a lot of plays in them as well as memories.

Sun-Rayz

I took this photography when I went out to shoot for a weekly. I don't exactly remember what i was looking, I just remember i was taking random pictures. Anyways, I really liked this one in particular. I increased the contrast and decreased the brightness to bring out the sunlight hitting the flower. It contains background simplified, and I wouldn't change anything about this photo.

LOVE

My word is Love. I chose Love because I Love Strawberries.

Dream

Growing up I have always been taught if you set your mind to you, you can and will succeed. So the first word that came to my head when I had to do this project was "DREAM." This word has always been very meaningful to me in my life, and has actually been something that pushes me forward.

Dream

I shot for the word 'dream' because it was a relatively short word and because it describes me in a way-- I always find myself day dreaming.. The only thing that I am not happy with about this photo is the letter 'r'. It was quite a challenge for me to find that letter, but it is what it is!

Love

My word is LOVE. I choose this word because it was short and the letters were easy to find.

Nikolas Leon Word

My word is LOVE because the letters were easy to find and its not too long of a word.

Jamie

My word is my name because it is a word that represents me and I have always been glad to have been named with a J initial. The assignment is pick a word that represents you or whatever you like. I personally enjoyed this project because I loved finding objects that looked like letters.

Stress

A lot of people told me I was being super negative when I chose this word for the alphabet project. Looking back however, I think I was truly reflecting on what described my life. Its really different for me now, because now I have no more AP tests, I just finished my last one today. It was really fun shooting for this project and it was cool to see simple things make elaborate pictures. This was definitely one of my favorite projects.

Flower in a Tube

This picture I took  randomly when I found a flower in a tube. I really like this picture because the flower stands out a lot when it was inside the tube also because the backgrounds makes the flower look nice and beautiful.

A good friend

I like this picture because its one of my best friends Javier. He has been a good friend when he moved here!!!!!!

Water bubbles and Spider webs

This a kateidoscope that I did with a picture of water bubbles stuck to a spider web. I really like this picture because I like how the water bubbles look and how the spider web holds the bubbles perfect.

Shooting baskets

I like this picture because I'm doing something I love to do and that is playing basketball! I have to give photo credit to Edwin Munoz! I didn't know he took this picture until he showed me!

Rule of odd Trees

This picture I took when my assignment was to find rule of odd objects. I really like this picture because I like how the trees look  and how there branches are green and a little black.

Water Bubbles on Plants

This picture I took when my assignment was to take pictures of macro. This is my other favorite because I like how the bubbles are on the plant.

Timberwolve sign

This picture was my second best because of how I took it. The gym is where I play and practice my favorite sport basketball and I love the game.

Timberwolves line

This assignment was that I had to take pictures of lines so I took this picture because  I like how the lines curves. This picture is one of my favorites because I like how the words came out.

Alphabet work

I choose the word Car because I'm really into them. My favorite car is a Subaru Impreza WRX STI because they are really fast!!!!

Travel

I like this picture because of the warm lighting and sharp edges. I also thought it was neat how I could use picture of large objects and small ones and still make it all proportionate.

Zayd

The word that I did is Zayd. Zayd is the name of my little brother. I used a gate for the Z, a wheelbarrow for the A, a tree for the Y, and the handle of a bucket for the D

Alphabet werd

My word is my last name and is made of a piece of fencing, a peace sign, a drill hole, and a portapotty.

Beautiful Flower

I like the picture because its one of my best pictures i have taken. this flower stood out a lot.

Soccer in different words

This picture was an assignment I had to do and I had to spell out a word so I chose soccer and I found different letter so I can spell out soccer. I really like how the picture came out because the different words make it nice and cool.

The One and Only

I made my alphabet word my name because there is never anything in those souvenir shops with my name on it so I took it as an opportunity to create this. I tried to make it very colorful and I obviously tweaked the hue/saturation a bit. 

Alphabet Word

Alphabet word

For my word I chose my name. The S is from a tube for keeping dirt in place, the A is from three small logs, the M is from the road by my school. If I were to change anything I would make the three separate pictures be together instead of close. I cant think of any particular photographic elements in this picture.

ball is life


i love basketball more than anything and this is a picture of me playing.

Sunset

This pictures was taken in the evening around 7pm by Todd's Point. Its contains juxposition and background included.

Black & White Plane

I had this picture but I never used it so Ill put it on here.

Sunset

This picture has rule of odds. This picture was taken on a warm afternoon when the sun was going down and I was walking my dog on the beach. I would not change anything about this picture.

My Collage

This is that collage we did a while back. I think it is really cool so I thought I would share it.

Jet

                   I think this picture is cool because you can see the jet stream and the shape of the jet. It looks   close even though its really 30,000 feet away.

Warm Sunrise

This picture is a silhouette.

Leaves

I put a leaf on a tree and I created Patrick Star's brother.

 

Water Logged

Elements of design in this picture include reflection, leading lines and rule of thirds. I also like the lighting that falls right in the middle of the picture. It makes a little bit of juxtaposition between the lighted part and the darker part. I like how the rocks and the part of the wood is dry, also a little juxtaposition. I particularly like the rocks under the water which look cool combined with the light.

Bring on the Sun!

I took this picture on the grass in the parking lot. It reminded me that the warm weather is coming and yellow reminds me of that. So yellow represents warmth. This picture turned out well because of the bright sun shining. It has repetition background simplified and some rule of thirds. The camera was set on macro with the fresco filter.

Through the Tunnel of wonders

The tunnel tells all.

Up Up and Away

Faded Flower...

These are my birthday flowers that I received from my father; beautiful aren't they! I was determined to take a picture of them, but as the days went by they soon lose some of their color. When I actually decided to take this picture, the color of the flowers were faded. That is the reason why this particular picture is Black&White, I also cropped and increase the black levels. Something I would change about this picture would be to darken the background on the top right corner a bit more; just to center the attention to the bottom flower.

hella high

I took this picture while one a five hour plane ride to New York. In order to take this picture and get the full view I had to use the panorama setting. This picture contains background included and a birds eye perspective. I did not use edit on this picture. I really enjoy this photo because of the clouds and the blue color on the top of the picture.

Bonfire

Over Spring break I went to Noyo with my friends to make a bonfire and just hang out. I saw the sun was setting and I took this picture. I like this picture because the colors on the sunset. I also like how the logs are arranged and it looks like leading lines.

Look Closely

This photo was taken for the reflection assignment, and it turned out really well. I really like the variety of color that came out. I used selective coloring, increased the saturation, and changed the hue. One thing I would change about this photo is I would have cropped it differently, but overall I am happy with the result.

~Just Chilling at the School Farm~

I like this photograph because this pig was in the right spot for my camera. He was just chilling with his buddies in the crisp morning. I love the way he looks in this photo, with the straw all over his head! It was fun taking this shot of him!

Spring Green

I saturated this picture to bring out the green and blurred the background to put more focus on the shamrock in the middle. I like the contrast between the dark at the bottom and the light on the top.
