Flower on a chair

I have to take 100 pictures of the same thing, so I chose a chair-- I put a flower in the chair for my first picture in the rain, which ended up being more just pictures of the flower just by itself on the chair. I cross lit it to make the water stand out and make more dramatic shadows with a high aperture. The first picture was shot at f 4.5 and shutter speed 250.

The second was shot at f 25 and shutter speed 250-- flash speed f/32 and f/16.

Zach Take Two

I was told to re-do the Zach picture, because it was apparently not what they wanted.

I learned that when you aren't given direction attempting to assume what is wanted may backfire... Which means, reshooting it. It was really fun though, he's a phenomenal trumpet player and I liked listening to him, He looks more in his element now. I bounced a 580X of the ceiling and my settings were f/5.6 and 1/80 sec.

I shot this at 2.8 with a shutter speed of 160. Mums are one of the only flowers that bloom at this time of year so I wanted to capture them :D

This may be the most fun I've ever had with a cutout for yearbook. I had no direction in what the yearbook staff wanted, so the subject and I just decided to have fun with it. My flash was at f/16 my camera was at 120 and f/4. I have to reshoot the assignment, but that's alright because I had a great time.

B-ball

Friday after being sick all day I decided I would shoot basketball anyway, besides having flash difficulty it went pretty well. This is my best lit image, not the best compositionally but the lighting was amazing. I shot it at f/5 at 200 ISO 800. The image is cross lit by 3 off camera flashes.

Rosbuds Dance

I was asked to shoot this for a friend... I shot it at 500 with a flash on ETTL as to change my settings easily, Generally I shot at 5.6 at 80. That caused blurring but in the cafeteria there is really no good lighting to work with. I had a good time.

Locket :D

This image was shot at 1.8 at 1/80 of a second. The locket is the point of focus in this one because the detail on it is really interesting to me, in the editing process I wanted to bring out the contrast in the older looking details as well as the wear the locket has acquired.
In this picture I used a white background as to not take away from the locket's details. I shot this at the same settings as the other, but wanted to make more of the objects in focus. The colors really stand out to me.

I have been meaning to re-do a locket picture I had taken.

This time I took a completely different approach.

Gooooatsss

Over Christmas Break I visited my father's land, which he likes the call "el rancho no gotta" I got a few shots of him goat wrangling.
I shot this at 100 at f/16 and a shutter speed of about 200. I started off with a lower shutterspeed in hopes to blur the background a bit but that wasn't happening with goats as fast as these.
Couldn't catch the goats face without food in it. :P

Wintah Foots

I was playing with the Canon G11 in class and decided to take feet pictures when I saw a cool shadow on Kaitlyn Porterfield's shoe.

I was inspired to take a lot of feet pictures at this point.
