Honorable Mention Advanced Time Exposure

 

In this photo the thing that made me more inspired most of the photo was the glowing behind the tree. Making the glowing of the background makes the tree pop out of the photo.

Great Black And White Photographers Part 3

                                                               Ansel Adams

What first caught my eye on this photo of Ansel Adams was the rose that was taken on the wooden floor. I see a rose that was just thrown by someone that didn't care of this beautiful rose  in the wooden floor. I smell the good aroma of the white rose that fills the good smell of the room. I hear people's footsteps walking around the the rose.The people are having a conversation saying who in the world would throw a beautiful rose on the floor. But people are just walking around it and just staring at it. I taste the apple while passing through the room when I see the rose on the floor I pick it up and put it on a vase. I feel the petals of the rose they are so smooth and I got be careful because the petals are so thin and I don't want to ruin the beautiful rose that is know on a vase and not on the floor. 

What caught my eye about this photograph of Ansel Adams was the road how it leads to somewhere no one knows and how the sky looks in this photo. I see the road going somewhere to the darkness. I also see a storm about to come in this lonely, stranded place. I smell nature coming to my nose I'm  walking to where the road leads and i just smell the nature of this lonely place where nobody is . I smell the rain, I think It might start pouring soon so I better hurry up. I hear the wind blowing really hard, and the trees leaves are moving with the wind of the direction going east. I can taste the air on my lips and I taste the rain that is falling on my face .... I'm walking and I tilt my head back and I could taste the rain going into my mouth . It feels good how the rain is falling on your face. I feel the good way of this walk, I touch the road and it feels rocky. I run more down to the end of the road into the darkness and it feels good, how the wind is blowing on you and also the rain falling on your head.  


I think a best way to show our photographers to our classmates and to the whole school i think a power-point would be great but a blog would also be great.

"Filling the Frame"

best shows how it fills the frame . What is interesting about this photo is how the guy is in science class dissecting something  and that's what interesting about this photo.

Hurricane Ike

About this picture of how the coast of Texas looked when Hurricane Ike was going to hit there. In this photo simplicity is the composition . The guy walking is the center attention of the photo .  I choose this photo because it really tells how lonely the town looked when everybody had left  the coast before the hurricane hits the coast.

 

 About this photo it shows leading lines. Lines because it leads you through all the destruction that Hurricane Ike left. What strikes me most about this photo is how destructive the coast is. And its sad how we see this that's happening to world with these hurricanes.
