Emulating Alfred Stieglitz (Hands)

This hand is supposed to portray "freedom."  This picture was
taken without the person knowing, which I think makes the
photo more "real."

This photo is more mysterious because the sides of the hand
is blurred, and the hand is dark.

These hands show someone who is relaxed.  The person had their
hands resting on their leg.

This is my favorite photo that I took because the details in
the hand are very clear.  I really like the lighting.

I do not like this photo because the lighting made it so the hand
does not have much detail.  Alfred Stieglitz' photos were successful because
of the amount of detail and emotion in the hands.

This photo is one of my favorites because it is mysterious.
To me, the hand almost looks dead.

This hand is showing someone who is relaxed.

This is another photo that I think is not successful, mainly because of
the watch.  Also, these hands do not look like they have a
natural position.

Macro

This photo is meant to show the darkness of war.  I dimmed the photo
to give it a "dark" feeling. 

When editing this photo, I focused on the coloring.  The color of the
frog is vibrant.  This contrasts with the background because the colors are less bright
and the background is more blurry.

Portraits

This picture is supposed to show the emotion of sadness.
One aspect that evokes sadness is his downcast eyes.

Jacob shows an expression of surprise because he didn't know I was taking a photo of him.
He looked up right as I took the photo.

I told Sydney to do a natural expression; this expression shows calmness.  

Frankie's expression for this photo is blank, this way the viewer sees many different emotions.

I told Chris to keep a natural expression.  After a while, he relaxed.
This is when I decided to take the photo, because his expression look the most "real" at that moment.

In this photo, he didn't know what it was for, so there is an element of confusion.

Emily didn't really want to be in the picture, so her expression shows eagerness to leave.

I like this photo because Cortland is staring right into the camera lens.
His eyes show his  personality.

Light Painting

The magenta light is used to make an outline, and it reflects of of the face.

I decided to upload this picture because it was one of the photos with
an outcome with more shape

Motion Blur

A clock which is slightly blurred from shaking the camera.

This is of a staircase.

Motion blur photo looking upward at a tree.

This is a light which had a red, smaller light on it.
The red light is a lot more prominent when the photo is blurred

foreground/background depth

The foreground is the sign.  I tried to make the sign more in focus
by making it a lot sharper than the background 

The plants are the foreground.  The brick wall is the background
The plants are very bright and colorful, while the background is a duller color.
The contrast makes the eye drawn to the plants first.  

The light is sharper, while the background is blurry.  The light is the foreground.

I tried to contrast the light metal bars against the dark stairs.
The bars are the foreground the stairs and wall are the background.

Perspective (Using repetition)

The repetition of the holes in the table are constant until the end of the picture.
The holes appear to be getting smaller as they are father away from the camera.

The fire escape is leading upward as the windows show perspective horizontally

The repetition of the telephone poles shows perspective

The repetition of the layers on the roof show the slants going up ward and to the side

Other Photos

The lockers right outside the library.  They were originally for rule of thirds.

This is a picture of the sidewalk.  I tried to give it a grimy effect

This is part of the courtyard ground.  It is supposed to resemble the sun.
