Photo+Portfolio!+ALL+WORK+here

Hey there, I've finally got a computer / am in town to upload my photos! Here are a couple of photos I snapped for one of my weakness elements -- texture. The seaweed on the left just kind freaks me out, but I thought it would be a cool photo, ya know? And as I was leaving the beach, I looked back and saw the cool ripples made by the sand, snapped a few shots, then noticed the footprints and thought it made a cool composition! I took them with my Canon T1i with my Sigma 18-250 lens. My only concern would be whether the focus is okay on them. :) //Emily Byrski//

I shot these photos with the "right third" assignment in mind. Both the lighthouse and the shed appealed to me because of their bland backgrounds and the contrast between the objects and the space around them. I also thought that they looked much better casted to the side rather than in the middle to create an interesting composition. I used a Sony a300 digital SLR with a 75-300mm telephoto lens for the image on the left, and a Sony a230 digital SLR with a 18-55mm lens for the image on the right.=====

These were shot for section 3 under the experiment with horizontals and verticals assignment. In the image on the right it's a bit difficult to see all the different lines in the rocks because I made the image much smaller than it really is. You can right click on it and select view image to see the image larger. Also, I think the image on the right might also go under the diagonals assignment, I'm not sure which is stronger in this photo. I used a Sony a300 digital SLR with a 75-300mm lens for the image on the left, and a Sony a230 digital SLR with a 18-55mm lens for the image on the right. **~Autumn Hutton ** **Hey Autumn, I really enjoy the photo on the left. I love how the one of the left is both bold and simplistic. In my opinion I think the the one of the left is stronger. People might disagree with me but I think ever though the one on the right is a little more busy the one of the left is stronger because of its simplicity.** **~Camryn Callison**



I didn't take these with any particular assignment in mind, but now that I look at them they fit perfectly in the #59 silhouettes assignment. On July 1st Canadians celebrated their independence day and as I watched Halifax's own firework show, I snapped a number of photos. As you can see in the photo on the bottom, I happen to be kneeling right behind a young boy, and instead of moving I incorporated him into my shots. I then wound up in Boston on the 4th of July where I watched the Boston pops and captured the photo on the top. For both of these photos I used a Sony a300 digital SLR with a 75-300mm lens. //**~Autumn Hutton**//

Stunning, Autumn. How awesome that you're travelling so much! The sillhouette effect, with the foreground subjects, really strengthen the images. -I wish the lower image had more light explosions on the right! What about cropping in from the right quite a bit? Mrs. C

I know I was supposed to find a junkyard or the equivalent for the frame with a frame assignment, but I was still able to find some shots. I guess window frames were my inspiration as they frame the outside from the inside. In the photo on the right I used a fish-eye lens with a Sony a300 digital SLR, and on the left I used the same camera with an 18-70mm lens.**//~Autumn Hutton//**

+ In both of these, the geometry of shape is strong. + The color emphasis in the left image, with the red outside, lined up with the green cup on the sink counter inside: awesome in its simplicity. + I enjoy the structure of the left image, and the even-spread ambient light. Nice exposure (on the left). Keep it up! Mrs. C

I love the kitchen photo so much, there's just something about it. The color+simplicity is really playful. You're so good at spotting photo ops. :'{ --Guin



This assignment was for the "self portrait in shadow" assignment. I was inspired to take this photo after I noticed the unique light outside my bedroom window. I shot this photo with my Canon T2i digital SLR and my 17-50mm lens. I am a little bit concerned that the background is slightly distracting, so I will be eager to hear feedback about this photo.

Tim I think this in an interesting exploration! -A great starting point for a series of explorations. What did your other shots look like, I wonder? What does this self-portrait say about you? How could you use your gesture, and ALL the negative space in the photo to tell your story? (consider cropping in on this one, see if it alters its impact.) **great to see you on the wiki!**

This photo was for the shallow depth of field assignment. I was inspired to take this photo after noticing this flower while walking my dog. I used my Canon T2i digital SLR with my 17-50mm lens set at f/2.8 for a shallow depth of field.

Nice textures and emphasis! Mrs. C


 * I really like this photo Tim! The bright yellow flower in **
 * the midst of a mostly calm color scheme immediately **
 * draws my eye to it. Very nice. :) **

This photo was for the "create blur" assignment. I was inspired to take this photo after my mom turned on the sprinkler in our front yard. I took this photo with my Canon T2i digital SLR and my 55-250mm telephoto lens.
 * Wonderful (- this is FREEZING, not blurring action, though! :) very cool effect, and the backlighting really shows off the frozen droplets awesomely. **
 * I love the red line of the hose contrasting with all the textures and space around it. **

**I do find that small patch of green in the top right corner** **a bit distracting, but the over all photo is gorgeous. I like** **how the water droplets near the bottom have a bokeh appearance** **to them. Also, the texture is striking.** **~Autumn**



This photo was for the "available light" assignment. While walking down the street, I looked up at the sky and noticed this heart formation in the clouds. I felt compelled to take a photograph. I shot the photo with my Canon T2i digital SLR and my 17-50mm lens.

Nice capture! Lovely contrasts... Mrs. C
