Advanced Commercial

I set up and took this photograph in my Advanced Commercial class. The assignment was to take a still life photograph. Rather than have a brush and paint, the paint pallet has several swatches of eyeshadow and a couple make-up brushes. This was a fun shot to set up. Later this week we'll be shooting spirits and wines.

HDR Photography

I took this photograph while I was in Pennsylvania. To be more accurate, I took several photos of this scene in order to properly expose for the different areas: the sunset, the field, and the snow on the trees. Then I combined the four photographs into one. This technique is currently referred to as High Dynamic Range photography. I was first introduced to this idea a year ago when I began studying the Zone System. It's pretty cool.

Fire!

I was running some errands between classes last Wednesday and came across a small fire in my neighborhood. The firemen were nice and let me walk all over taking photos. The fire was put out relatively quickly, luckily, but there sure was a lot of smoke.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everyone! Don't you just love fireworks? I do. My friends had stocked up on fireworks and we had a lovely time setting them off! Hope your New Year's celebrations were just as fun.
