My event was a softball game.  It was the district championship.  As I was taking these photos I was acting like I was working for the newspaper and that they were going to be using my pictures for a story about the outcome of the game.

My question for Denise McGill was what inspires her to do these photos?
Her response was that she just likes to use people and their stories. She gets her ideas like that, then goes and takes the photo.

I chose the landscape photos for my critique in class because I felt the landscape pictures were my strongest. This is my favorite photo from this assignment. The left photo is the original one and the right photo is the photoshop one. All I did to this photo was change it to grayscale and then messed with the levels a bit. While taking these photos I was really focusing on the horizon and lines throughout the frame of the site.

This is assignment 3, using word, idea, or concept as inspiration for your work. When I was shooting these photos, I wanted to use different angles. I was straight over the set up, on the side, then in the middle. I used the tissue paper to give the photo some lines. The left picture is my bad one because the light too much to handle. It was too bright. The right picture is my good one because the lighting is perfect. The angle of the photo makes the picture what it is!

This is assignment 2, framing an object or body part and I chose a body part. These feet are of my best friend, Kourtney. She had painted her toenails and I loved the pink and I also had these neat rug that looked good with her toenails. Before I began shooting these photos, I wanted to concentrate on the angle of photo. I used the rug to give the photo a sense of line. The left photo is my bad one because it is to straight on and blurry because it is to close. The right photo is my good one because I took the picture standing over the top of her feet and I took it at an angle to show depth.

This is assignment 1, framing a landscape. As I was taking these photos; I was trying to capture nature at its beauty. I wanted to try to use the elements of line and depth. The photo on the left is my bad one because I wish I would of taken it at more of an angle and also not so much of the ground. The photo on the right is my good one because it shows great lines. The line of the trees, rocks, and the coast of the water. I took it at a slight angle but I wish it would of been a little more extreme.

I changed the color balance in this photo, because the original was really dark so I made it easier to see who is in the photo and what they are doing. 

I took this photo because I wanted people to see my brother in action, playing the sport that he loves.  My brother is number 42 and he is on the kick off team ready and waiting for his teammate to kick the ball.  The boy beside him is one of his best friends.
