3rd Quarter Project- 6th Chunk Machines

These images are posted for the last chunk of the 3rd quarter project. I saved the Machine category for the last chunk! The first image is of a hand powered machine. I chose to take pictures of my friend Eva swimming. She is a hand powered machine because we swim for Machine Aquatics and to swim you use your hands and body to move forward. I thought it was a funny and ironic concept and chose to use this image for the project. In the image you can see the effort she is using to move down the pool by the water splashing all around. The second image is for the construction category. I like this image because there is a lot in the image but by looking at it you can determine that it is a construction sight. There are multiple layers to the image. The first is the cone in the left quadrant of the image; then there is the fence and then there is all of the construction equipment. I like the different layers because it draws the eye through the image.

3rd Quarter Project- 5rd People

Both of these images are posted for the 5th chunk of the 3rd quarter project. The first image is of my friend Kaitlin and it was taken while we were at Junior Nationals in Orlando, Florida. I really like this picture because of the sharp contrast in colors of the yellow/orange wall and her bright green shirt. Also the shadow of her body on the wall gives the image a nice visual affect and the hand reaching out of the window sparks a few questions when looking at the image. The second image is of a guy who was about to compete in the 50 meter butterfly at finals of Junior Nationals. I really like this image because I took it on complete accident and it came out really nicely. I like how I am looking down on him and the image is not at eye level. Also, I like the contrast with his black suit and the blue water, it makes the water pop really well. In addition, I like how you can see how focused he is even thought you can not see his face. You know that he is about to get on the block and sprint down the pool because of his body language.

3rd Quarter Project- 4rd Chunk Lighting

The first image that is posted for this project is the of Maroon Five at a concert. The lighting at concerts is very dramatic. I used this image for the sub category of back lighting because the lighting emphasized their profiles on stage.The second image posted is of the light house and was used for the sub category of sunsets. I really like the blue in the background of the light house. This image is very pretty and represents sunsets well.

3rd Quarter Project- 3rd Chunk Facial Expressions

The first image is of my friend and she was super excited to wear the hat because it belonged to Ryan Lochte; an olympic swimmer. When she put it on she was super happy and I captured her emotions by taking the picture. Her happiness overcame her when she put on the hat. The second image is posted for the surprise sub category. I took this picture and both girls did not know that I was taking it. The girl on the left was in shock because she was eating. I think this image captures surprise well because it was a candid shot.
