Three Different Lighting Situations

I had trouble with this assignment because of the weather! I tried to take pictures of a certain tree and because the sky was gray the pictures looked the same from 8 am to 3 pm. So I took pictures of my window. I used flash and automatic settings on all three photos. The odd thing was that the pictures seem to get lighter as the day progressed. The first two photos it was all natural light. The last one I used the inside light. The last one turned out the brightest even though at night.

Macro Pictures

Overall, I like taking pictures on macro. I did have some difficulty when getting really close to and object to get it to focus. I like taking pictures of things on a weird angle because it becomes something totally different when its up close like this. Digital is still a little new for me, and when taking pictures up close, it seemed to turn out differently then I expected. I don't know if it was the settings, or what exactly. Overall though, I could get what I was trying to achieve.



This is an interesting one. This is actually the cabinets in my kitchen. It is looking up, and the way the light is hitting at the bottom then gets gradually darker is a need effect. Who knew you could take something like this at home!




This is my dog of course. I always have trouble taking pictures of him with the digital camera because of the reflection from eyes. I think this one turned out good because he is not looking directly at the camera. I know there is a setting you can us that can prevent the reflection but I am not sure what it is! This is a good shot of him...I like the side view. I'm sure he was looking for trouble and I am sure he probably found it!






I like this photo above. This is my ceiling fan at home. I just think it gives a different perspective because of how the light reflects and creates a shadow around the edges. I always like taking pictures of lights because you never know how they are going to turn out.

Comparison of two photos

I really like this photo above. This is a church that is down the street from where I live, and if anyone if familiar with Bellows Falls you may have seen this church before! I have always admired it and its structure and have always wanted to take pictures of it so here was my chance! I really like how the sky is so blue with the clouds. I also like the view point of starting at the bottom of the stairs and really looking up. (Those are stairs, just covered in a lot of snow!)

The picture above is a side angle of the church. The one thing I wish I could have avoided was getting the tree branches in there, but the sun was so bright I couldn't even tell that it was in the shot! I like how the side angle really gives you a different perspective because you can see all the windows.
