Arboretum Field Trip!!!!

Last Friday we went to the arboretum for a field trip to get some pictures. I took a lot of pictures, but narrowed it down to a few that I really like.

I like this dandelion because of how sharp it is. I cropped this photo and then changed it to black and white.
Shutter: 1/80
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 12.71 mm
ISO Speed: 160

I like this photo because the flower is so bright and the picture is not straight on, it's from a different angle. I like how it's so blurry in the back that you can't tell what is back there.
Shutter: 1/50
Aperture: f/5.0
Focal Length: 40.2 mm
ISO Speed: 200

This picture is my favorite out of all of them because I like that it looks sort of like glass with leaves stuck in it.
Shutter: 1/15
Aperture: f/5.0
Focal Length: 45.33 mm
ISO Speed: 200

I like this picture because of how sharp it is and how you can see the "veins" in the leaves, it is also a different angle then we usually see.
Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/3.4
Focal Length: 5 mm
ISO Speed: 80

I like this picture also because the leaves are so sharp and you can see so much detail in them. I converted this picture to black and white and cropped some of it.
Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/3.4
Focal Length: 5 mm
ISO Speed: 160

I really like this picture because of the reflection of the trees and the water. I also changed the color to black and white.
Shutter: 1/125
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 18.75 mm
ISO Speed: 160

I really like this picture, but I don't know why it just interests me.
Shutter: 1/6
Aperture: f/4.0
Focal Length: 10.07 mm
ISO Speed: 200

I really like this spider picture because you can see him/her so clearly.
Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 5.71 mm
ISO Speed: 100

I really like the shape of this plant and how the color is so bright and the background is so dull with brown leaves.
Shutter: 1/80
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal Length: 16.39 mm
ISO Speed: 200

I really like how the water droplets are just on the tips of the leaves.
Shutter: 1/20
Aperture: f/3.4
Focal Length: 5 mm
ISO Speed: 200

More light and shadows but better

This is Sheldon, he is a pit-bull puppy out at the humane society, but since he is a puppy he won't last long. He is extremely hyper and energetic so he is fun to photograph. This is another light and shadow picture but way better then the last couple I put up.
Shutter: 1/324
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 6.2 mm
ISO Speed: 50

This is Sheldon again with another light and shadow.
Shutter: 1/297
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 6.2 mm
ISO Speed: 50

Light and Shadows

This weekends assignment was light and shadows, but the main focus is the shadows. The pictures I took were definitely not my favorite photography pictures, but they are not the worst.

I was just sitting in my room and I couldn't decide what I was going to do for light and shadows and I saw the shadow behind the radio.
Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/5.2
Focal Length: 18.6 mm
ISO Speed: 100

This is probably my favorite out of my shadow pictures, it is a salt block for the horses.

Shadow: 1/369

Aperture: f/8.5

Focal Length: 12.8 mm

ISO Speed: 50

This is a really bad one and not very good but it is feathers from a pillow of mine that are pink against a pink wall, but it had shadows.
Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 6.2 mm
ISO Speed: 100

Spring

Our during the week assignment was spring. We weren't aloud to change much in the picture like get rid of anything because we were supposed to do it like a photo journalist. I liked this assignment because i don't mind cropping pictures and turning them black and white but I'm not a huge person for editing, I like to take a picture and have it be that way, if its not good then try again a different day.

Shutter: 1/60
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO Speed: 100
Focal Length: 6.2 mm
Journalistic- Flowers and plants are blooming everywhere, animals are coming out of hibernation, and the days are getting longer.

This is our Lilac bush, I took this picture with the camera sideways and I didn't turn it because I think it looks better this way.
Shutter: 1/500
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 6.2 mm
ISO Speed: 50
journalistic- The Lilacs are coming out early and the leaves are green. People are mowing the grass and pulling weeds.

Shutter: 1/110
Aperture: f/4.7
Focal Length: 15.3 mm
ISO Speed: 100
journalistic- People have planted their flowers in the pots and planted their vegetables and fruits in the garden.

My niece Madilyn

I forgot my camera today so I couldn't upload any new pictures so I edited some older pictures of one of my nieces.

This is my sister and Madilyn when Madi was a little bit younger.

This is Madi and McKenna. I LOVE both of their eyes in this picture.

Madi when she was just a baby. She was soooo chunky and her eyes are soooo big.

I couldn't decide if I liked this high key photo or the one below so I put both on here.

I love this picture because it really shows her personality.

This was this past halloween. She was a bumble bee fairy.

I love this picture because the light colors that she is wearing and the swing she is on brings out the darkness in her eyes and hair.

This picture has the 1/3 rule and her colors of her snow pants and coat really stand out with the snow.

Humane Society

Every Tuesday I go out to the Clark County Humane Society to volunteer cleaning up after dogs and walking them. I have a lot of fun doing it the dogs are amazing.

This is Iris she is a husky that came in one night when I was out there, when she came she had a horrible eye and had to get it removed. Now it is healing and looks great. Now she also doesn't have the cone on her head which makes her a happier dog because she isn't running into everything. I have been attached to her ever since she came in and she to me. Probably more me to her then her to me. I wish I could take her home but my parents won't let me and she is on hold for some other people, so I spoil her as much as I can before she gets her a new home. It probably isn't fair how much attention I give her and not the other dogs, but they get some.

This is the great paranese named Tristan who was a stray but got adopted to a family in Minnesota.

And this is Tristan's partner Jessica, who went to the same home as him.

These are a couple puppies that got adopted out already. For some reason they get adopted out WAY faster then the big dogs, but I guess people can't pass up these faces.

I just love this picture because they look so innocent, but no puppy is innocent, they are little trouble makers.

Horses/horseback riding

Last week my mom, anna, my nieces, and I went out to see my horse and ride our friend's horse. It was a lot of fun even though my mom was to chicken to ride the horse all by herself so she had our friend lead her around.

For some odd reason I really like the next 4 pictures. They are just nice and clear, and some are odd angles of them.
