I Really like the sunflower look here. This is the iris and pupil of Erin's eye, super-saturated and put on a contrast cloud background.

Portfolio

Another assignment for the DigiPhotog class is what he calls baselines - we take several categories of pictures (indoor and outdoor portraits, an action shot, and a landscape) at the beginning of the semester and then take more of the same styles (but not necessarily the same subject) at the end of the semester. Here's what I've got so far, with the beginning of the semester on top and the end of the semester on bottom:

Action Shots:

Indoor Portraits:

Landscapes:

Outdoor Portrait: With this one, the top two were from the beginning of the semester. The rest were taken today and I'm having a hard time deciding which to use. Opinions?

The 5-Panel Story

My Digital Photography teacher gave us the assignment to creat a 3-to-5 panel photo story. IT was to include some sort of text as well. Ideas evaded me for avery long time and Finally I came up with the idea of the christmas light story below.

The story's all in the pictures with the history-oriented text there to meet the text requirement. I got a 17 out of 20 on the assignment. He liked the idea generally but said panels 2 and 3 duplicated each other and panel 5 didn't "fit" the story and didn't carry the idea of the frustration with the lights that the other panels had. I like the resolution, personally. The idea of simplifying and leaving the commercialism of Christmas behind is appealing to me.
