This semester I learned alot about taking photos in manual mode. I also learned alot about contrast and exposure and how to make an image look more pleasing. I learned how to make pictures come to life. I also was more able to make things appear to be different then they are by changing perspective. I also learned more about using black and white pictures vs colored pictures to make it more interesting.

I'm Makiela Walling, I'm from St. George Utah. I love taking pictures of the little details in everyday life. What really inspires me is the little details in everything. I focused on the playful energy this year and found I liked looking for the reason to be happy. I love taking these pictures from different angles and then deciding which to use based on how it shows the emotion.

The photo is depressed because of the spikes on the palm tree. This is the main focus being the spikes and the dark colors of the tree. This is deep depth of field.

The hopeful look of this picture is in the colors and the sunset and the palm tree. The focus point is the sun. There is a deep depth of field in this picture.

Content feeling is this photo because of the amount of feeling like there isn't anything more needed to make this photo great. It is shallow depth of field  the focal point is the pink flowers in the middle

I user high contrast in this picture with the red and the green in the plant. The red vase looks lighter and a higher contrast with the green leaf. I think this is a strong photo because of the detail and the high contrast in the picture. I used creativity by using a house plant and cropping it down and making the angle go from above the plant.

I used complementary colors of green and red. I think that the colors add a nice contrast within the picture and I really like low the rose looks with the green tones and the red tones making one nice picture together. I think that the colors being green and red look really nice and clean  Together and it adds the warm and the cool  Colors into the effect of this image. This is a strong photo because of the high contrast and the bright colors popping out to the eye. It is also a strong photo because it has an old fashioned look with the rose in the image and overall it looks really nice. I used my creativity to make this picture more detailed and made the colors have a brighter contrast. I also made this picture look older by using the lines to make it look like the rose has more texture. I also used my creativity in taking a picture of a pillow that has roses on it.

In the original picture I used complementary colors of orange and blue. I made the image have the main focus on the glass ball by blurring the background and having the ball in the center of the image. The colors add to the composition because
Of how they look natural together but also make each other stand out to give a focus and a pop of color. It also adds to the composition because when you look at the image there is blue in the top of the picture and the bottom of the ball and the rest is the orange color so it really adds a nice pop in all the orange to be able to see that splash of blue in the middle of it all. This is a strong photo because of all of the detail and how all of the texture was shown throughout the whole picture. It is also a strong photo because of the landscape is a normal view so being able to use the glass ball and see it in a different point of view makes the whole image look clear and exiting. I was creative in making this picture because I used red and orange rocks and the blue sky of a normal view and changed the perspective so that the image is clear but also from a new angle. I also edited the photo to have a higher contrast so that the orange and blue complement each other even more than they already do in the original image.

Reflection. I took this picture using my mirror in my backyard. I had my camera in my right hand out if the mirror. The angle was nice to take the picture. I love the look of reaching to the mirror and it reaching back. I used the colors in the mirror and my shoes as the main color scheme.

Running water. My word for this project was running. However I wanted to add my own creativity on the image so I took a picture of running water and not a person or animal. I like the high contrast. The water is shown in motion. This adds a feeling of being present when this picture was taken.

I took a picture of the top of my gate to show the letter t in the flower pattern. The cross of the flower on the straight poles makes the t in the image. I added more contrast to the image. The grey cloudy sky makes the image have a darker tone. However it has a calming mood.

Breathe! The calmness of breathing is shown on these plants. Between the colors and the movement. I really like how there is a high contrast and the shadows add to the image. I love the overall tone of this image.

The plane is going north. This shown by the sunset in the back west and the plane is going in the direct right of it so it is going north. I took this picture at my grandparents house. I really like the contrast in the sky. I also really like how the mountains on the bottom add to the picture.

Sound through a still picture is what I was trying to capture in this image. I took this photo during a thunderstorm. I thought it would be a great representation of sound because after the light flashes there is thunder. I like the light on top of the dark clouds and the effect it creates. I edited this picture to have greater contrast between the sky and the lightning.

Negative space. I took this picture through a rock to get negative space inside of it. I love how the black and blue of the rock on the top contrast with the sunset. I took this during the golden hour. I edited the photo to have more red tones instead of blue and green tones in the sunset.

Mid afternoon high angle. I took this picture in the parking lot. The angle I took it from was on top of the car to get a really high view of the parking spaces. I made the image black and white to define contrast. However the contrast still wasn't where I wanted it so I increased the contrast even more through the rest of my editing process.

Middle of the day eye level. I took this picture to highlight the difference between the grey black and white colorings. This was taken in the middle of the day in harsh lighting. Therefore the shadows are there but also add to the feel and the color theme. I used my body so I had to do a weird angle with the camera nit I really loved how the picture turned out.

Golden hour ground level. I took this picture laying in my backyard during sunset. I really like the mood of the image. I love how the negative space adds to the image and doesn't distract from it. I edited this photo to add more red tones.

Lines and repetition was used in this photo. The lines are in the cracks in the tile but also in the sun lines from the blinds over the window. I really liked the lighting of this image. The repetition is from the lines repeating over the whole frame. I took this image in my house with the lighting of the window and the reflection on the tile

Simple subject. Using the hoop as a subject it was hard to isolate it. However using a new angle really helped me. I ended up laying on my back in order to get the under view of this image. I took this in my backyard as well. This hoop has alot of different colors on it but overall was symmetrical and added to the picture so I added higher contrast instead of making it black and white.

Filling the frame. I took this picture to work on showing a full image but only having part of it in subject. I wasnt going to use this as a subject in my photos but I really loved the feel of the picture. I took this picture in my backyard. I think that the editing of higher contrast really adds to the overall view of this image.

New point of view. This is a pictue of a Pine cone but not how we normally see pine cones. This is taken from the bottom of the pine cone. I took this picture to show pattern and repetition. I really like how the pattern grows in the image.

There's the movement. The rippling in the water shows the movement of the water flowing. The grass on the side also has some bending due to the wind. I took this picture during the golden hour but decided to lighten up the water a bit to really show detail in editing. I love how it fades from yellow to blue in the middle. I took this picture at Red Hills Desert Garden.

Look at the repetition! This is a piano th image was already black and white but I made the image have a higher contrast to define the black and the white keys. The repetition comes into the photo when you look down the line of keys. They are all lined up in a pattern of filling white keys and 3 black Break 2 black Break and repeat. The piano keys get smaller as you go because of the angle that I took this picture using.

I used balance between sides of the photo. This photo was taken at the Red Hills Desert Garden. The balance is shown when you cut the image in half vertically. This means that both the left and the right side of the image have equal amount of interesting points. When looking at a photo it helps because it makes your eye trave around the whole frame.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Shallow depth of field. This image has the main focus on the flowers on the plant in the middle. The front and back of the photo are out of focus helpin  to isolate the subject. When you look at the photo there is negative space filled by the green stems and leaves in the image. This photo was taken at the Red Hills Desert Garden.

Colorful theme. I took this picture at home. This picture is of a bowl of Mike and Ikes. The color is from the random colored candy and the pink bowl in the background. I like this picture because of the contrast of the colors. Each color has its own pop and makes the image as a whole alot more interesting.

The tone of this image is calm. This picture highlights the silhouettes of the people and the rock. I also like how this picture has the negative space with the sunset. It also looks really good with the sunset in the tree on the right. This picture was taken to show a mood and this mood is very calm and relaxing.

When I took this picture I was focused on the pattern. I took this at the Red Hills Desert Garden. This picture has an expanding feel and it grows. I like this feeling because it is a plant. The pattern is also symmetrical on all sides of the picture.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this picture using shape. While I was trying to find a spot for this picture I saw this lookout spot and thought it would look best with him making the heart there. I took this picture at Red Hills Desert Garden. This picture has alot of shapes. However, the main focus is on the kid making the shape in the middle holding up the heart.

Lines in black and white. This picture was taken at Red Hills Desert Garden.  There are a few different pattern  in this image with the sidewalk and the fence making the lines. However there is also lines in the plants in the background. I edited this picture to be black and white because I wanted there to be a higher contrast that only comes from the black and white in the picture.

Perfect deep depth of field. The main focus of this image is the tree in the middle. The shapes and colors in the background make the negative space in the sky really pop. The greens stand out more because of editing as well. This picture was taken at Thunder Junction Park.

Perfect shallow depth of field. This picture was taken at Thunder Junction Park. The eye is the main focus of this picture. As you look at the image you see the dinosaur eye and then you see the green slide in the back. This effect makes it look like you are seeing through the eye of the dinosaur.
