Here are some of my best practice photos:

A lot of my photos are going to be candid photography, such as this one. I don’t really have a lot to say about this one, but I think that the colors are really nice and cohesive. It gives a sort of summery feel and I think that’s really cool. I also really really like the shadows on the floor from the trees, and I think it’s really nice how the person in the pink shirt is highlighted by the sunlight while everything else is in shadow.

I think this could have been a really really good photograph, but my camera only worked in automatic focus at the time so I couldn’t focus the camera manually. Maybe I should have waited more to see if I can get the camera to focus? Either way, I originally wanted to have that nice juxtaposition with the words on the hat “don’t smile” and the elderly person smiling, especially because their smile is actually really really really nice and genuine. The light and shadows could use some work though. This is also an example of asking people for their photographs.

This photo is more of a thoughtful one, which is reflected in the pose. I think that the other person showing in the screen of the camera is really neat, and it’s a nice way of showing what’s happening off frame and the friendship between the two people while still keeping the image focused and precise. The colors are also pretty pleasant, as although it is mainly in more desaturated colors (grey, black, white), the pops of more saturated colors still balance out the image pretty nicely. I think it also creates a sort of contrast between the person posing and the person taking the photo, as their sides of the image are divided into more saturated and less saturated.

I’m not sure exactly what about this image makes it so interesting – maybe it’s the contrast between the shirts of the people, or the fact that they’re facing away from the camera – butI think that there is a very nice balance in the different values in this image. There’s a lot of really dark colors, but also a lot of really bright ones and they balance each other out so that neither is overpowering the other.

I think this photo might just be my favorite out of all these photos, as it captures a really genuine moment in a really interesting way. The poses and body language of the people, the way one of them is reaching out and holding the camera, the way they seem to be passing something, their expressions, all of it just combines into a really nice moment. The saturated colors also helps add a sense of vibrancy and life to the photo, and out of all my candid photographs this is definitely the best one in my opinion.

I think this image is very interesting, as normally it would be a pretty fun and energetic image, but due to the far perspective and the fact that it is in black and white, it feels a lot more abstract than it usually is. I like th contrast in the values in this image, and I think that the different shapes in this image and the way they interact with each other is very interesting. I do wish that there is a bit more contrast between the trees and the person’s head though, since they kind of blend into each other a bit.

I find this image to be really fun and whimsical, from the patterns on the floor and bright colors to the poses and actions of the people. None of them are facing the camera, but from their body language and what we can see on their faces, it is clear that they are also having fun. I find the way the shadows almost line up with one another to be really neat, as it fills up the negative space that is away from the people’s faces, which directs the viewers to look at the faces when their eyes are drawn towards the less cluttered spaces instead. Overall, the movement in this image is very energetic and interesting.

Compared to the last image, this image is very still and ponderous, with little movement and no color at all. I think this photo gives the feeling of reflection, or deep thought, or simply staring out into empty space. The bars of the playground slide handrail covering the person is very interesting, and the lack of color definitely adds to the feeling as well.

I think that this image is very interesting because it invites the viewer to wonder about the scene in the photograph. Unlike some of the other photographs, it is not immediately clear what the people are doing in this image – having some sort of fun, maybe, but how they’re playing is kind of vague. However, the image is still bright and vibrant despite the slightly confusing scene, so maybe we don’t really need to know exactly what game they’re playing, as long as they’re having fun with it. Side note though, I really like the blue gradient in the shadow of the scooter, it looks super cool.

This is an example of fishing, where I stayed in this spot and took a bunch of pictures while the person was climbing the object, and eventually ended up with this photo. I think that the subtle colors in the wood and the shadows are very nice, although I wish that I could make a sort of lens flare effect near the top left of the screen for the sun, as I think that would add some more atmosphere to the image. I like. the way the person’s face sticks out from between the wood, and the perspective is also very interesting. The sky makes a nice, plain background for all the things overlapping in the foreground, so that the image isn’t too cluttered.
