Lighting Studio Shoot

I used the amazing models known as Vanessa, Kelisha, and Paige. The lighting i used that day was spotlight and side lighting as well. I learned that there is a variety of lighting techniques  to use with lighting.

Light ~Photo Final

This is my top photo mainly because of the smoke. I was pleasantly surprised with this image because of how well the smoke turned out. To me, it is an eye catcher because how well the smoke is laminated by the candle lights. One aspect of this photo I would love to change is the focus of the photo. It is a little blurry but all in all,  I am happy with it.

This is my runner-up photo but this could have easily been my top photo because I love this photo as well. Everything is focused and the angle of this image is just perfect because you can see all candles in a very triangular way. I decided to go with the previous photo mainly because of the smoke. Overall, I am proud of this image.

I also like this picture because of the angle.  Th designs on the candle I believe helps the image because without it, it would seem a little boring. The designs just make it look more original.

What I'm Grateful For

I am thankful for the Cheesecake Factory because it is a great place to spend time with friends and family. 

I am grateful for the San Francisco Creamery because the "Kitchen Sink" is a great way to spent time with family while eating a sink full of ice cream.

I am grateful for the city i live in because there is a lot of activities to do in a safe environment.

I am very grateful for the friends i have, especially in this photo class.  I would not be the person i am today without my friends and family. 

Hands and Feet

This is a photo of my father. He was doing some sort of paint job which is why his clothes are dirty. I liked the way it turned out but the truck in the background did not work the way i wanted it to work. The sticker on the back of the truck is a bit distracting.

This is a photo of my sister legs and feet. She is into gymnastics and wheres her suit all the time around the house.  This is better than the first image but i still think i could have been better.

This is a photo that was taken in downtown Martinez.  I love the background in the photo and the pose that the model is doing really suits his personality. 

This is another photo that really suits the models personality. The coffee and the college shirt just explains what he is all about. Plus my decision to go all black and white for all the photos is a decision that i am proud of.

Historical Houses

I choose this image because i really like the lines and texture of the railroad  tracks.  All of the photos have lines going in and out of the image. 

This is one of my favorite photos i have taken because you get a great deal of the train, train tracks, and the Benicia Bridge in the top corner. Once again the tracks seem like they will never end.

Once again, train tracks are involved. The bay on the left really complements the photo a lot in my eyes. Obviously, the theme is trains but the bush in the center is a distraction to the entire image. Other than the distraction, this could have been a great photo.

Personally, I love this photo because of the great view of Mt. Diablo. And the cargo train in the corner is really amazing because it shows that trains have been running around in the bay area  and throughout the United States forever. 

CP Campus

I chose this picture because I really like the newly built area of College Park.  This picture means a lot to me because this is probably one of the only areas of CP that has not been trashed yet. 

I chose this image because the garden at CP is truly beautiful when the flowers bloom. The colors in this photo really catches the eye and makes this stand out more than the others. The bee inside the flower is really just a bonus.
