final 6 favorite pictures

these are my top 6 favorite pictures. i chose most of them from my black on black and white on white assignment. that was my favorite assignment and i think my pictures turned out the best on that one because i took the most time on it. it seems like the longer i take on shooting an assignment then i think of alot more things to take pictures of and it just takes off from there.


this is a picture of a plastic bag, i liked how it was so shiny and the texture looks really cool but one thing i don't like about this picture is that i didn't really think it out, i just pointed and clicked and i think if i would have placed it somehow more interesting it would have been better

i like this picture, it is of a scrabble game my mom and sister were playing and i actually thought about what angle would be best to take it from. i wanted to make the scrabble game look like it went on for a really long time and i think i accomplished that. it was really hard for me to decide where to focus on this though. at first i focused at the end of the picture and this one is of the front but i liked them both and it was hard to chose but this one has more space that is in focus so i chose this one.

these three next pictures are of my mom's purse, i moved it around alot and zoomed it pretty far. i think these pictures are my favorite out of all of the pictures i took and out of these this picture is my favorite. i like the different textures and the how the metal is shiny, i also like how rich the black is

on the blog this picture looks a little too black but in light room the blacks arent too black. i also like the rich dark black and then the shiny metal and i am glad i didn't include all of the tag in the picture.

this picture is a little bit more boring than the last two because there isn't as much contrast and it is mainly just of the leather strap so this picture doesn;'t hold your attention for long but i still like it



this picture was also kind of just a point and shoot picture but i like how the egg white is shiny and the egg shells are cracked . i think this has good texture but it too is a bit boring

Joe Rosenthal

Joe Rosenthal was a photagrapher who won a Pulitzer Prize. he won it for a WWII photagraph that was iconic. he started to climb this hill to take a picture of the marines putting up the flag but someone told him it was already up but he climbed up anyways. when he got there he saw that one flag was already up but they were also putting up another bigger flag. he was lucky and was getting ready to take the picture but then out of the corner of his eye he saw them bring it up so he had to swing around and hope that the picture turned out well.alot of people thought this picture was staged because it is so perfect but really this picture is real and joe almost didn't get it.he was using a cramera called crown graphic and it is big a nd bulky but it makes a single picture negative that you have to change after every picture so Joe only had one chance since it takes 3 seconds to load. it was very dangerous to be a photagraoher during the war because they had to carry alot of things aroound and they were always in with the action so it was very dangerous. photoagraphers in the war were considered in the army. he was named an honorary marine by the commandment of marine corps. people saw the flag picture as a potent victory photo he became a maneger of the times wide world photos. he died on september 20, 2006 ,

assignment #5

for this assignment we were supposed to shoot all of the pictures from the ground. i didn't have very much time to shoot this assignment but i liked it. at first i didn't know what to take pictures of but then when i was laying on my stomach i saw a scrabble game and a light switch that from the angle i was at made an okay picture.
