This is my favorite picture from the shoot. The others don't really compare. I took a lot of photos of the curly, string things, but only two of the lonely dead corn. And I like the two the best. This one has better focus than the other picture. I wish the grass, or whatever, in the center at the bottom was gone. When I tried to photoshop it out, the colors got all jumbled and weird. I like how you can see the snow falling in the background.

This is a curly thing. They are from our raspberry bush, and the only thing that I found interesting at the time of the shoot. I don't like very many of the photos of the curly things, because they are boring and cluttered.

I like this photo, because of the snow on the top of the leaf. I tried to crop it all different ways, but it ended up just looking funny. Over all, I didn't have a very good shoot, and it shows :(

I like this picture because I've tried to take star trails and I know how difficult it is. You have to have the aperture just right. I also like the sunrise or sunset in the corner. The satellite things add to the starry affect.

I like this picture, because of the different textures. The rock is very hard and gritted while the lake/river is smooth. 

-Chris Moore

 I like this picture, because it was actually taken at night with a five minute shutter speed. I like the difference between the soft sky and thorny oak.

-Chris Moore

 I like this picture, because of the storm in the corner, I had to search the picture to find it.

-Craig Ferguson

 I like this picture, because it looks like we would find it here but really it is from Scotland.

-Richard Murphy

 I love this picture, the colors are amazing. I like how the sky and the green contrast, but the lines of the mountain are very soft.

-Alex Filatov

 I like the colors and  the soft water. I also like the moon up in the corner. -Alex Filatov

I like this picture, because of the symmetry. I like the harsh black and white, too. -Michael Toye

  I love the colors in this  picture too. I've never seen a picture like this and that is why I like it.

Open Theme #1

My mom bought a bouquet, and I haven't touched my camera in ages. What better way to start warming up... 

This picture is one of the more unique ones of the shoot. I like it because of the foreground and background out of focus. I don't love any of these pictures, but I'm not sure how I would change them. This one I wish the little petals above the main flower where out of focus. It does have repeating lines and the green in the center is repeated all over.

I like this picture because of  color. All of the flowers were dyed yellow, blue, purple. This picture isn't very interesting, but I still like it. All of these photos were captured with my long lens. I like them all more, because I'm just starting to use it. Composition wise, it's not great. It doesn't really fallow rule of thirds, but there are repeating colors.

This is probably one of my favorites from the shoot. I cropped it really tight to the flower (before you could see the orange flower). This might sound odd, but I like the softness of the photo. It's a very calm, pale blue and yellow, picture. I left the orange in to spice it up a bit, so that the whole picture wasn't blue and yellow.  I like the lines of the petals, too.

First Post

These pictures are from way back summer. I entered one of them in the Marshfield fair and got a 4th, which was pretty exciting considering there were at least one hundred others in the same category. I'm not sure if I took them in time for the Clark County fair, but anyways. Here is my sample post :)
