Photo Challenge 1

Black and White

This is my first black and white photo. It is not my favorite because it is slightly blurry, and the sun added an odd lighting. It is an odd angle, so I didn't love it. But i like this photo because it is an action shot, and a candid. These girls didn't know I was taking their picture, so they are all really natural, and I think that's cool. 

This is my second black and white photo. It is not my favorite, but I do like it. The leaves are all different shades and textures, which I think is interesting. It is not my favorite because of the weird glare from the sun. I think this is a cool photo, but I would have fixed the lighting if I knew how to. 

This is my favorite black and white photo. It is taken with a camera from my house, which I knew how to adjust the lighting for. I like how the leaves are all different colors. I also like how the spiky parts of the leaves are defined against the dark dirt. I think is a really cool photo, and it is my favorite. 

Rule of Thirds

This is my first rule of thirds picture. It's not my favorite because it's not that interesting. The focal point isn't very creative, and the sun was messing up the colors. I do like it because the tiles add some texture and depth, and you can see some tree shadows like i think add a nice touch to the photo. 

This is my second rule of thirds photo, taken in downtown Austin on my families camera. I took this at a Mexican festival, and I really like the main focus. I think the skeletons are interesting, and they look cooler in black and white. It is not my favorite because it isn't really the perfect rule of thirds, and I wish the background was more out of focus.

This is my favorite rule of thirds, it was also taken on my parents camera. I like it because the flower looks really interesting in black and white. You really can see how the shades differ. I like how its in rule of thirds so you can see some of the other flowers in the background. This is the favorite picture I took for this project. 

McCallum

This is my first McCallum picture. It represents the school very well because of the art aspect. I like the picture because it is very simple, but its not my favorite. It looks slightly blurry and might have looked better in color.

This is my second McCallum picture. I like it because it really represents the school with the knight and the big 'M'. It isn't my favorite because it would have looked better without the bricks in the background. 

This is my third and final McCallum picture, and my personal favorite. i really like it because the sunset looks really pretty and adds a nice touch. I like how the fields and the sky come to create a really cool picture.
