3 Different Types

The recent storm that is still happening. It couldn't have been better timing. This was taken coming off the mountain. My boyfriend teaches snowboarding and I went up to get a lesson from him and on my way home decided to take a photo. It was in the afternoon, but the light makes it seem as though it's early evening. That's how i view it atleast.

This photo was taken a weeks ago. We were driving and i had the heat venting facing the window and it was melting the snow and it was perfect. After taking the pictures of the roses and not using the flash, I put my camera to that setting so that the flash didn't bounce off the glass and ruin the picture. This one of my favorite photos.

This photo was taken earlier in the week. It was a clear evening and I was at my moms house and was just amazed at the sunset. It was like one of those sunsets where your on the highway and it's so perfect, and you should take a picture but can't because your on the highway. The layers of colors in the sunset are just so peaceful and calm. It was a cold night however. Beautiful just the same.

My 2 Favoites

My 2 favorite pictures i chose were one of a sweatshirt burning and a bouqet of flowers.

I chose the yellow flower because it was so pronounced against the other flowers and green leaves. I seem to get a lot of photos with flowers in them, not sure as to why but they are just to beautiful not to i guess.
I really like the sweatshirt because it captured the flames perfectly. The orange is just amazing to me. This picture was taken at a "right time, right situation" type deal. I was luck to have witnessed an outraged g/f that way i could capture this photo.

My 2 Favorites

I forgot that I had to write about these as well. I chose these 2 photoes because i felt i got the best angles of the roses. These first 2 I got a good shot of the front and side of 2 roses that are different, but blooming at the same time the same way. They are both opening identically. The second photo is my fully bloomed rose that is just beautiful and faces me as i sleep. I am very lucky for having such a loving boyfriend that knows my favorite things! =)

I did my picutres on the roses my boyfriend bought me for our anniversary yesterday. They were just to pretty to not take pictures of. I like the ones of the vase on the floor because it made the pictures brighter. With this setting there is no flash so the pictures are dark. I don't think i have ever used this setting before, I don't dislike it, but i probably won't use it very often. I like the flash to make the pictures seem bright, I will probably use this setting when take close up pictures of Cooper so he doesn't look so pale white.

Compare and Contrast

I took pictures of Cooper because he's easy to take pics of from all angles. He also follows the camera wherever it goes. I like the picture on top because of his facial expression and the overall "pose" I got. Not that he really poses but still. The picture below I took while standing directly above him. Even thought i was further away it seemed to startle him more when i took the picture than when i was so close to him in the picture up top, because of this I didn't get a very good image.

The Black and The White

So the picture above I took on New Years. There is a black and white setting that also lets you pull a main color into the picture, in this case it was the yellow cups. Even though the picture is blurry it is still really neat i think.
The picture below is of my friend Joey. we call it the "Ultimate Emo Pic" It was also done in black and white, but somehow got a hint of red.

The picture below is "Flaming Beer Pong" My boyfriend spray painted the flames on the table for the area of the cups.. After we set up the cups i just had to take a picture. I wish it had pulled the yellow from the cups in this picture, not to sure why it didn't. The flames were black on my end so there was no color to pull there. The other side had red flames.

My Focus

I am so excited to start picture taking and posting. Just to let everyone my main focus will mostly be my son. I have 100's of pictures of him and he is so easy to get a good shot with because he is such a ham. I try hard to get other types of photos of the outdoors and what not but it's harder for me to do it seems. I will try to practice that type of photo taking more. So I just wanted to post this quick note, I am at work and cannot provide any photos at this time. Good Luck Everyone!
