Hands and Feet

I like this image because the rings draw the viewers eye to the hands. I also like how the cake is in the background.

I like the comparison of the baby hands, and the older hands.

I like this image because it is sepia toned, and because of the older hands.

I like the texture in the baby feet, and the older person's hands.

I like this picture, because it shows the parents holding their baby's feet.

I am happy with this picture. I think its well focused, and a nice close up. Also, the subject is on one thirds of this picture.

Rule of Thirds

I'm attracted to this image for its colora, and it does a nice job of having the subject on one third of the image.

There is nice symmetry in this photo. The focus point would hit the intersecting lines with a rule of thirds grid.

The child is right in the center of this picture. The center is one thirds of the image.

I think this picture is beautiful. the colors are really nice, and the lighthouse is on one third of the image.

I am especially attracted to this photo because it is baby. I love child photography. Also, the baby's face is on one third of the picture.

Conveying a Message

This picture conveys a message of bravery. He's going out in the world, and putting his life on the line.

I like this image because it shows people being caring. Maybe the two people are mourning over a tragedy. The comfort they are giving each other makes this picture stand out.

This elderly woman is expressing loneliness, and sadness. She's probably in a nursing home, or a retirement home, and feels lonely without her family.

I like this image because the emotion is obvious. The viewer can automatically tell that this little girl is very unhappy.

Jealousy is conveyed in this image because the girl on the right is upset, because the other girl stole her man. I like this image because it does a good job of expressing the emotion.

I like the use of reflections in this image. I really want to incorporate reflections into my work more. I like the idea of photographging mirror reflections. I could catch someone looking into a mirror, smiling, or with any other emotion.

Line assignment

I'm somewhat happy with my line assignment. I think I definitely showed lines through my images, but they didn't really have a focus point. I need to improve on incorperating the assignment, and having a focus point at the same time.

I like this photo for its leading lines.

I like this image for its depth of field, and the use of real lines. The light posts can not be rearranged.

I love the leading line in this picture. The dock leads right out to the water.

I like the spiral staircase in this image. The spirals lead right to the focus point.

This is an example of implied lines. There is a nice shallow depth of field.

Depth of field assignment

I'm not really happy with my depth of field assignment. Both photos have shallow depth of field. Personally, I like my photos to be sharp. I need to work on focusing also. I could improve on which aperture I use, to get the right amount of depth.

Depth of Field

Large depth of field, sharp focus point, small aperture.

Large depth of field, small aperture.

Shallow depth of field, with a large aperture.

Shallow depth of field, large aperture. The photographer got very close to the focus point.
