Fireplace now has fire

This is a photo of a fireplace that no longer is able to have a fire in it. I decided that since it is getting a little cold that this may be a fitting peice for this weeks assignment. I took a picture of an actual fireplace that is operable and meshed it into the inactive one. Thanks for checking it out!



 



This is my example of a landscape. I was driving down to Boston and decided to capture a shot of the City skyline. It was an overcast day so there was not a lot of blur, which I was happy with. If you have never been to Boston, you need to check it out. There are a lot of good photos to be had.

Slideshow

Here is my comparison picture of taking a shot in the "thirds" section. Great view of camels hump.

Framing

My second go at publishing the slideshow. Hope it works!

This is my slideshow that I have published for this weeks class. I took some shots that had to do with framing. My favorite is the shot of the resevoir. I used the fall foliage this year to frame my shot of the body of water. Check it out!!

Composition Technique

Everytime I go to take a picture now, I am always looking for it to be something that could be seen on someone's living room wall. The pictures that hang up in everyone's house are always so easy to look at and well thought out. Photo Composition has a lot to do with the idea of the picture and making sure that it is focused and finished properly. I particulary like the idea of the linear effect. When you can get a shadow, road, or river diagonally accross the photo it really makes you want to focus on the whole picture rather than just one thing. I always find myself looking at these pictures a lot longer than a picture with a certain subject in it because I want to figure out where the "line" goes.
