Q2W2-Architectural Photography

I like this picture because the building seems to pop out of the landscape and fill the area.

I like this picture because of the clarity in the reflection. It seems like the building itself juxtaposes itself. It creates a wave like building out of a bunch of straight lines.

I like this picture because the arch falls into the silhouette of the tree. It makes a cool transition from black to blue. 

I can't figure out  if this picture is fake because the aspect of it looks realistic, but fake too. It looks potentially computer generated.

I like this picture of the John Hancock building because it uses a low angle shot to portray it as a towering skyscraper that never ends.

The Taj Mahal is very beautiful in this picture in my opinion because it has a pink hue to it and the bottom rest on the lower line in the rule of thirds.

I like this picture because it blurs in the water and uses the lights to brighten the picture in the night.

This picture of the colosseum is very pretty with  the cold hovering over it. 

Q2W1-Landscape Photographers

I think Charles Cramer likes bringing out the reds in photos, but he also uses a range of colors in the photos.

I like this photo a lot with the insanely clear reflection. I would like to have seen a bit more juxtaposition in the photo because all I see is diagonal lines.

I like this photo because of the juxtaposition, but I would like to see more colors in the photo. Perhaps a wider range of red tones.

I like his photo with the capture of movement and the color range. The only thing that could really bring this photo to the next level is sharper lines in some areas.

I love this photo with the deep depth of field, but nothing is happening making it a very plain photo.

This photo is very peaceful and almost looks like a mirror image in the middle. It goes from pink/salmon in the middle to blue. I almost looks to photoshoped too much.

I like the depth of field and lines in this photo. I can't figure out what the subject is in the photo. This is disturbing.

I like this photo with its wide range of colors. If only there was some red, it would complete the color wheel.

I like this photo with the depth of field and the foreground of a small patch of trees. I would like the picture a bit more if the change from in focus to blurred.

I like this picture with the capture of movement and the colors of the rocks behind them. If I could see what is up above and where the water is coming from, I would love it.

I like the movement and the conflict between the rocks and the water. This picture is grand.

W10-Landscape Locations

I might take some pictures in the gorge, if I go on a hike. From my backyard also because I can see, on a clear day, Mt. Adams and Mt. Jefferson from my backyard. I think that this is a perfect location if the settings are correct for clarity.

W9-Landscape Exercise

Aperture: f/32.0

Shutter Speed: 1/60

ISO: 200

Date Taken: 10/17/11

I think this picture shows the sky because it is filled up with the sky and some trees and cars.

Aperture: f/32.0

Shutter Speed: 1/60

ISO: 200

Date Taken: 10/17/11

I like this picture because it shows the tree and some sky in the background.

Aperture: f/32.0

Shutter Speed: 1/60

ISO: 200

Date Taken: 10/17/11

This picture shows patterns in the trees and the cars all in a row. I really like the trees as the modulate from red to green.

Week 8 "Visual Elements of Fall"

ISO: 400

Aperture: f/ 10.0

Shutter Speed: 1/50

I think that this photo depicts Autumn because some people will bike throughout Autumn, Winter and Spring. I think it shows texture. I took this picture outside of PAA right outside the back door.

Date Taken: 10/10/11

ISO: 400

Aperture: 10.0

Shutter Speed: 1/15

I think that this photo represents Autumn because some trees are evergreen like this pine versus trees that lose their leaves. I know that the typical fall picture is leaves everywhere but we forget the evergreen trees. I took this picture right outside the PAA back entrance. This picture shows texture.

Date taken: 10/10/11 

ISO: 400

Aperture: f/ 10.0

Shutter Speed: 1/100

I think that this picture represents Autumn because it shows many leaves but not on the ground being gross. I liked it because the other leaves formed a nice border around the central leaf in focus. I took this picture near the back entrance of PAA.This picture shows form.

Date Taken: 10/10/11

ISO:400

Aperture: f/10.0

Shutter Speed: 1/125

I think that this picture represents fall because it is like a late bloom that can occur late in summer and give Autumn a little bit of beauty with a flower in bloom.  I like the color in this picture. I took this picture near the back entrance of PAA.

Date Taken: 10/10/11

ISO:400

Aperture: f/10.0

Shutter Speed: 1/200

I think that this photo represents fall because the school is thought to start in fall and it was a good shot for shape. I took this picture outside of PAA's back entrance.

Week 7 Summary

This week we learned about taking different pictures, then critiquing others photos, using constructive criticism. I beginning to get a feel for aperture, shutter speed, and iso. We are showing our two best pictures from our week 7 fall images.

Week 7 "Five Fall Images"

Aperture: 18.0; Shutter Speed: 1/60; ISO: 400

What I learned- week 5

I cropped this photo and didn't think that the colors needed to change.

Maybe I could have changed the contrast/brightness.

100 ISO

f/3.5

200 ISO

f/3.5

400 ISO

f/3.5

800 ISO

f/3.5

1600 ISO

f/3.5

Week 5-What I learned

We learned about ISO and took pictures with each ISO setting. ISO controls the amount of light sensitivity.   THings went from really dark to really bright. Even without the flash, the pictures got really bright.

What I learned- week 4

The standard resolution for print is at least 300. For the web, the print resolution should be at least 72. The important thing is that you can always down scale an image without loss in quality. You cannot take a small image and make it big with out it becoming pixelated.

I like this picture because it shows a grid with waves in the snow.

This picture is cool because it has things in and out of focus.

I like this picture because it sets a good scene using the rule of thirds.

Week 3-what I learned thursday

Today we started going over the modes on a dslr camera, aperture priority, auto, manual, and shutter priority. Aperture priority means that you control the aperture and the camera controls the shutter speed. The auto mode allows you to pick up a camera and shoot without any worries. The manual mode allows you to have full reign over what happens in the camera. The shutter priority is good for controlling the shutter speed and not the aperture.

Week 3-what I learned wednesday

juxtaposition:an act or instance of placing close together or side by side,especially for comparison or contrast


Geometric Shapes (square, circle, triangle) versus Organic Shapes (free flowing)


I'm interested in shooting in nature but also with people. I think that it would be fun to take pictures of people playing music or sports.

Week 2-what I learned

This week I learned about all the angles that I can shoot from. Also I learned about articulation.

Outside of Digital Photography, I learned that history has many definitions.
