Glass

This week for Kevin's class, we had to photograph two different pictures of the exact same glass and using the same kind of light source. The only difference for the two pictures was trying to block the light and creating a dark or bright field. Here are my two images.

Industry

One of this weeks assignments was to go out and take pictures of someone working on their industry. I decided to do a little something different and go see a lady who rebuilds and fixes up chairs. Here is a couple of the shots that I created with my off camera flash.

Washington D.C.

So for this weeks blog post, I decided to show you guys some pictures that I took in Washington D.C. over Spring Break. Washington D.C. is one of my favorite places to go because of all of the history and sites there are to see. No matter how many times you may go, it's almost as if you have never seen it before. Some of my favorite places to go while I'm there is the Smithsonian Museum to see the Ruby Slippers, the Vietnam Wall, Iwo Jima, Arlington National Cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, World War II Monument, and so much more. Here are some of my favorite images that I took.

Motion

This week, our weekly was to go out and shoot motion. When you think of motion, what do you really think about? Do you think about running, walking, skating, etc. For me...I chose roller skating. Here in Asheboro we have the Roll A' Bout where everyone is welcome to go and skate and enjoy time with their friends and family listening to music and having a bunch of snack food. There's the lights, the games, the food, but most of all the fun just hanging out with the people you love most and skating. Here are a couple of the images that I was able to capture.

HDR Effect

So this week we were given an assignment where we had to take one of our images and do the HDR effect. I chose several images that I thought I would give a try just to see which one would look best. I chose baseball, I chose some flowers, but my favorite of them all was one of my Washington D.C. pictures. We all know about some of the different monuments that are in Washington D.C. like the Washington Monument, Abraham Lincoln Monument, and the Vietnam Wall. To me, this is one of my favorite images because you can since the love and calmness of this sight. We lost a lot of people in that war, and this is our way of showing appreciation.

I want you!

Yesterday I got the opportunity to go home and take pictures at the Kernersville Parade. While I was there I met some very friendly people who were definitely in the Independence Day spirit. During the parade, I got to see some people that I don't get to see anymore as well as some complete strangers. While walking in the parade, it really surprised me that so many people wanted me to take their pictures. Here are some of the shots that I took.

Yeah...us college kids know how to ride a bike

In today's class we were to go outside and shoot panning which basically means you follow your subject as they move. Here are a few of the shots that I came up with.

July 4th here we come!

So we all know that July 4th is coming up. What do you have planned? Do you have cookouts, baseball games, fireworks? Last week I was able to go to the Carolina League all-star game as well as a Durham Bulls game. I thought I would use some of the pictures I took to get you into the spirit! Hope you enjoy.
