Landscape (week 6)

Photo #1: This was taken on my trip across the US. I climbed a mountain in Boulder, CO and saw this amazing view at the top. 

Photo #2: This was also taken in Boulder, CO towards the base of the mountain I climbed if you looked north from the base.

 Photo #3: My jaw was wide open driving through a lot of Colorado, Utah, and Arizona with all the rock formations. I grew up loving geology and I love the layers of different colored rocks. This picture was taken in the Utah desert.

 Photo #4: I pulled over to the side of the road for this one. I was driving by and had to take this photo. All of the colors compliment each other and it came our exactly how I wanted it to :)

Framing (week 5)

Photo #1 I tried to frame the white house in the center through my dorm window. It didn't come out as I thought it would, but I still think it worked a little bit.

Photo #2 I tried to frame the cars, but I think my camera focussed on the splashing water from the fountain so i decided to upload it anyways because I thought it looked interesting.

Photo #3 third times a charm right? I think this came out the best of all the other ones I took. I framed the red and white sign in between the trees and I think it came out well and i may have walked on that grass ;)

Rules of thirds

I am on a cross country road trip to Los Angeles and this was taken in the town I am staying in tonight Grand Junction, CO.

Week 4 (part two)

This is for set two of the assignments for this week. I looked ahead and saw that we would be doing this and I saw the perfect opportunity after a storm on June 3rd, 2014. Each picture was taken 6 minutes apart to show just how much of a difference things can look while the sun is setting. The only downside is that I did not have my Canon 60D with me so these were taken with an iPhone 5s using the HDR setting. All three photos are unedited.

Texture Collage (week 3)

Texture Collage (week 3)

Here are the individual photos and I will upload the collage right after.

Compare and Contrast

I ended up choosing the first one and the fourth one. I really like the top one because of the green mountains in the background being blurred out a little from the lens's shallow DOF. The top one also has more to show. Not only does the whole guitar come into frame, but there is a beautiful background to go along with it. I do still like the one below. I learned not to focus objects in the center of the camera when taking pictured to give it a better look and I would have to agree.
