Feather "x-ray"

 There was an feather stuck in the ice in my yard, and the original pictures were not really anything special at all, and the only aspect of it that I actually liked was the texture and neatness of the feather itself. So I decided I would only show the actual feather. I upped the exposure and and contrast, and took all the saturation out of it. I also flipped the bottom two to make them more interesting.

Leaf textures

I keep forgetting to bring my memory card in to download my new pictures! So I was left looking through the older pictures of mine, and I came across this one, I cropped it right to the edges of the leaf to take out other distracting things of it, and I also had rotated it 90. I really played with editing the contrast, tones and lighting of it, and after a little while this is what turned out!

I like this picture because we all know it is a leaf, but why does it look kind of distorted or colored like that? There are some questions that go along with it, and I think that is what I like.

Mood Setter

I don't know why I like this picture so much, but I finally decided to share it with you. I was on my way home one night and was crossing this bridge and I thought, hmmm... let's take a picture of this, so I stood next to the front of the truck and put the camera on the hood and pressed the shutter! It's got a very scary mood and feeling to it, and mysterious as well, and I think that is why I like it so much.

Out House Door

This picture of mine, I rotated it and boosted the contrast up in the colored one and also in the B&W, I like how it turned out.

Depth of Field

I myself mostly use low depth of field in my photography, and capture textures and such. The following three pictures are examples of low, medium, and high depth of field.

 There was a decaying leaf folded of a stick that was sticking out of the fresh snow we had gotten, and the low depth of field really captures the unique, scary looking texture of the leaf.

My cute relatives sitting on a rock at my uncles cabin drinking hot coco I believe was best captured with a medium depth of field, so that they would be in focus, but yet the background a little blurry.

Obviously this picture has a large depth of field, everything in the picture is sharp and is a sort of landscape, so it works out well.
