3 reasons why this is my favorite picture: (I took this because I hit enter)

First off, this is my overall favorite photo booth effect and it brings out the diva in everyone

Second, Eric looks like a psycho and it makes us laugh every time we see it

Last but not least,  this captures this entire semester in one photo. I had the opportunity, thanks to Mr. Farley, to create relationships and become closer to this wonderful group of people.

This will always be one of my best photos. 3 reasons why include:
The depth of the field is perfect because it puts emphasis on the subject while still giving the viewer a littles taste of the background

The color scheme is brilliant because the white on his shoes coincide whit this shirt, and teeth. Not only that, but the red balances out the brown- orangish background.

Last but not least, the clarity and lighting is very professional-looking.



3 BENEFITS TO WORKING IN GROUPS;

3 DISADVANTAGES TO WORKING WITH GROUPS:
Everyone doesn't always agree

One person's faults affects everyone

Sometimes it's hard to work together, especially if they don;t like each other

3 Best

Best picture because the light is even, elements of his outfit are shown, and it captures genuine emotion. 

Best picture because the lighting was good and the subject was centered.

Best because it captures a portrait effect.

Favorite Photos - Iron Chef

I like this picture because of how the cowboy hat is totally irrelevant to the school background and it made us laugh to see Eric try and be serious.

One of my favorites because Eric has a genuine smile in this picture and the "awkwardness" took them awhile to get serious and take this shot.

One of my favorite pictures because it was her birthday, she looked gorgeous, and considering it was last minute, it came out pretty good.

I like this picture because the focus was on point and his clothes corresponded beautifully with the background. Now this has become my favorite as well as his.

I like this one a lot because candid shots are my favorite and it shows how boring school can be. Plus, we all got a laugh out of it.

F/64 Group - Ansel Adams

Ansel Adam's picture of a rose inspired me to take these 5 shots. He claimed that "he was intrigued by the contrast between the delicate pattern of the pale rose petals and the dark grain of the wood". Thus, I wanted to capture the same beauty within our school.

The petals, that were once yellow, creates a distinctive contrast from the edgy-looking picnic table

Again, you can clearly distinguish the soft delicate petals from the the rusted vent

The leaves create an edgy pattern that makes the flower stand out

the delicateness of the petals pop out from the focused- rough looking hair

the softenss of the petals contrast from the rough leaves and dark sky
