Get on You Belly!

Bell



This image was different from all of the rest because it didn't have some kind of tree trunk or something that was following it up. I kinda shot it a little dark.

Tree



I like this photo because it shows the shed in the background so you can see the different exaggerated heights of the two.


Another Tree



It was snowing at the time when I shot this photograph so the sky looks pretty gray. I think I should have shot more of the tree so you could see more of an exaggeration of the tree.



Haunting Staircase!!!



Just kidding! It doesn't look haunting. The carpet ruins the scariness. I like this picture because it describes the directions the "Get on you belly!" assignment. I had some troubles with the contrast and exposure on this picture.

My Lacrosse Stick!!



This photo actually means something to me because I love lacrosse! It describes who I am. I wanted to take this picture outside but it was snowing hard. I don't think that lacrosse and snow mix very well so I chose a simple background.

THe sCarY FirEPlAcE!!



This is just a simple shot of my fire place. I like this one because i didn't think it would be in focus but it turned out to be really sharp. My candle holders look like flames so it looks really scary!!!


Tree



I have two fake trees in my house and I thought this would make a good photograph because it's so tall and it looks all dominate and powerful.


Tea Party!

Irving Penn's History

Irving Penn

Irving Penn was born June 16, 1917 and he grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey. When he was young, Penn never thought that he would have become a photographer. When he went to work for Vogue, he was merely a designer, until a person that was working there saw his sense of style and turned him to be one of the top ten designers in the world.
Irving was a fashion photographer that had a recognizable fashion sequence in his photographs. He is recognized in some important collections of Photography like Museum of Modern Art, Baltimore Museum of Art, and Addison Gallery of American Art.
Irving Penn did not have many self portraits of his face. He never liked his face to be shown in any pictures. On Wednesday of October 07, 2009, Irving Penn died, but his photographic designs are still strongly remembered.

HIgh Key/Low Key Part Two

Shelf



I liked this one a lot because I was running out of ideas to do for my photo assignment so I was afraid that this photo wouldn't turn out as well. I like the contrast of the shadows the most in this picture and i think it shows a lot of detail.


Curtain



This was taken in my living room and once I started bracketing these pictures of the curtain, I noticed that it showed good shadow and its very simple.


The Bottom of a Lamp



This one was easy to set up except for the lighting to make like a contrast between the lights and the darks. this was the bottom of my lamp and I put a blanket around it so it didn't show the gross tile floor.

Mug



I didn't know how to show any light to show contrast while was going to take this photo but then I saw that the reflection is light! I think it turned out to be a good picture but not the best.
