I had a much more difficult time with this week's photo blog... and somehow I managed to find two more ochre-toned photos completely unintentionally. Hm. Next week's goal - new color if it kills me. :) Anyway, it was a challenge for me, as I almost always photograph people, to be able to predict whether or not a certain landscape would be beautiful or not. I took the photo of the frozen river before our last class, so it definitely could have benefited from Sister Esplin's lesson on metering the sky. Better luck next time. I was surprised with how cool the photo of the light fixture in the Snow Building lobby ended up. The original picture is very boring... the bulbs are dusty/cobwebby and the colors dull. But just adding a simple overlay really made the bulbs look beautiful again! Lots of fun. :)

  1. I really like the last picture! The colors are so crisp.
    The second picutre looks a little busy. Maybe use less marbles.

  2. Your pictures are beautiful. I love your use of shallow depth of field. especially on the one called fishies. I just really love that picture.

  3. I LOVE the shot of the light bulbs. At first glance, it looked like bubbles. It is an interesting perspective with the foreground in focus and the background out of focus. This picture just really caught my eye.
