A reflection of what it shows inside of something. I chose this picture as a reflection because it shows how the mirror is in the background and the banglas are in the front. It shows a really different perspective of a positive and a negative thing.
Whats its like being inside of something cool like this one. What do you guys think this is ? Imagine you are being locked in something can be cool but at times it can be dangerous because you might lose something or be afraid of anything thats there. It looks amazing from very close and from very far away when you look at it very closely you can guess what is.
I have a Canon Digital Rebel XSi, also called the Canon 450D. Although their purposes are similar, it is much different than a paintbrush; I would consider a paintbrush to be a tool comparable to the pencil. I would consider this camera to be comparable to the electron microscope. Its manual is the size of a small novel -- about 200 pages.
The 450D is a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera. The main thing that distinguishes it from a regular digital camera is its interchangeable lens. You can have a tiny macro lens, or a giant telephoto lens. You can also buy flashes that attach to the camera.
Perspective is key in the turnout of a picture. It pretty much dictates what the image will look like. Here’s a picture of a building. How would it have looked if it had been taken from across the street, instead of at its base?
This building is a little bit older, but the same concept is explored. The building looks totally different from the two different perspectives.
This summer, I did two things: sleep, and take pictures. Lots of pictures. It was very productive in the sense that I learned more than I ever thought possible about my camera. It was very unproductive in all other senses.
I spent the majority of my time photographing this summer fiddling around with exposure length and aperture size. Here are some of my experiments:
“Starr Trails 1” -- 3420 second exposure (57 minutes), at F8.0
This image is a pespective picture of front ground, middle ground and back ground. As you can see the students in the front ground, the trees and the fence is the middle ground and the buildings are the back ground. The other picture shows that the tree is the front ground, the cars and the stores and trees are middle ground, and the bulidings are back ground. Both pictures show a interesting perspective of different layers of anything.
This picture shows the kind of person I am. Also it represents who am I, and the personalities I have as a human being. As you can see that I love to wear a lot of jewelry to make me look good, and also that's like my hobby to do everyday fooling around with jeweleries and trying them on. Also I like wearing earrings to school and matching them with my scraf or my clothes. This neckalce is from Bangladesh, where I am from and it represents the kinds of jewelry we wear to any special ocassion or anything important. Also special we wear this necklace to weddings and match them with our dress which is called salwar kameez that's what we call it in our language. It feels really award to wear it the first time but once you get it it wont feel sticky or anything.Its fun to wear it, specially with clothes and matching them.
Cropped image: The picture that I cropped it from the other picture which represents the colorful nature we. This picture shows a total different perspective of the originial picture.As I walk by these beautiful flowers it makes my day better and smile all day because these flowers make me want to be surround by them and feel the crunchy, soft touch of the flowers.
This photograph is breathtaking for a number of reasons. You will notice that it contains a number of emotions and different angles as to how it can be interpreted. For example, from the face you will notice that the person (Jake) is quite content and looks friendly, yet the shades on his cheeks and face make him look much darker and evil then he really is. The mood then shifts from him being a person who can be trusted and looks satisfied with his positive attitude to someone who simply brings terror and is looking for trouble.
This was one of my first photos that I had taken with the use of lighting, and the end result was successful.
This year I have a couple of goals for the year. I want to learn more tehniques to take better photos and in a greater variety. I also hope to focus on more then one topic this year, I hope to take pictures of alot of topics instead of focusing on one like last year. I am interested in learning how to take good portraits as well as black and white photography. I would like to learn how to use the cameras features to my advantage as well. Here to the left I have one of my favorite pieces that I took during the summer. In this photo I was trying to focus on the bird, but instead got a really neat image of the tree and the bird, which was camoflauging in a sense. I hope to take great photo's throughout the year and to learn alot of new skills.
Every time I take a picture, I don’t focus on making it perfect, I just enjoy getting a point or statement across if I have one. If I don’t have a point that I’m trying to get across, I’ll settle for just sharing my perspective on things with others. Having a theme for picture taking is easier, because that way I’m not taking pictures of any stray item that comes my way. Especially since I live in a big, beautiful city with my theme (buildings and city life) surrounding me, it’s easy to find something to capture with a camera.
Something I have become interested in learning more about are shadows and reflection. I started to become interested in Michael Kenna because he takes pictures all around the world of landscapes and architecture and he incorperates shadows and reflections into his work. So far I have learned that he lives in Seattle, Washington, is an Irish-Catholic born in England.
The source of this information is Michael Kenna's gallery website. The information that I've been reading is quite interesting.
These are some of the pictures that I have submited to my schools literary magazine. The first picture is in Coronado, CA on the beach. The second picture was a picture I took at Lindberg Field Airport in San Diego, CA when I was leaving San Diego and it was raining. And the last picture is a picture I took in Salt Lake City right after it had snowed in the fall, I edited the colors of this picture in photoshop.
When I first picked my theme for my photos as New York City I took my first body of photos in a more isolated area. As I did my first photo discussion and made my goals for my next body of photographs I didn't really reach those goals, and I notice that now. I had wanted to capture city lights, after being inspired by an amazing picture I saw on flickr. Recently I did another photo discussion and wrote the goal for my third body of work. Looking at my body of photos I just took I see that they are a combination between my two goals. They were taken in the night capturing the city lights and tall buildings. They also showed the neighborhood shops and apartment buildings that people don't usually thing of when they think of New York City.
From my first picture to my second picture (that I posted a discussion to) I felt that I accomplished my goal. My goal was to use more color in my pictures and experiment with photoshop even more. However, when I looked at my second picture and my third picture I felt that I did not accomplish my goal of making subtle changes to photoshop. I feel like I new to change my theme because I am focusing too much on contrast (which is my theme) and less about making my pictures better each time. My new goal is to fine tune my pictures and change my theme.
In ELA with Amy we have book clubs (literature circles). As all 6th graders know we are reading the book callled Pictures of Hollis Woods this book was'nt so interesting from the begining.But its now becoming interesting, as I read more of the book. I think that the author of this book really made it hard for the reader to understand the story at the beging but then made it clearer (which i thought made no sense).
This book is about a girl named Hollis. Hollis is an orphan and she is lonely she wants to have a family to love her to care for her. But the mustard lady thinks that no one loves Hollis so she bounces her around like a ball to other familys. Hollis wants someone that has much in common with her to be her friend.

My first impression of a photo essay is one along the lines of a collage full of pictures and small captions. A real photo essay is connecting a picture and the story associated with that picture.
I chose this picture to photoshop because I think there are some aspects of the picture that are meant to be focused on like the jewlery. 
This picture shows the kind of person I am. Also it represents who am I, and the personalities I have as a human being.
