Country Land

While driving down a road in Texas in the middle of nowhere I saw this field and thought it would make a good picture. I never thought that it would turn out to be this good though! I moved up the contrast a little bit in an editing program to bring out a darker green in the grass and sky a little more blue. I think this is one of my favorite pictures!

Country Land Black and White

This is the black and white version of the picture above. While I love this picture, I think the color picture adds more to it. I like the black and white one bacause you notice three main parts of the picture: the fence, the tree line, and the clouds in the sky.

Endless Scene

I love this picture! This was also taken on a road out in the middle of nowhere. :) I edited this image slightly as well. I made it brighter and brought out a darker shade of green in the grass. The sky stayed a light blue contrasting the dark ground. I enjoy this picture because it seems as if this setting is endless with the power line poles going on until they disappear

Endless Scene Black and White

This picture is the black and white version of the post above. I like this one black and white but think the color picture is better. I edited this picture bringing the contrast down a little bit so that the grass would not look very dark. Which picture do you like most?

Bench Seat

I took this picture in Savannah walking down one of the streets. I changed it from a color photo to this which makes it look a little better. I do like this one, but not as much as some others.

Railing

This picture I took is Savannah as well. I took it of a railing that went around a very large house. This isn't one of my favorite pictures but I think it's neat!

Train 208

This picture I like ok. I took it when I was taking pictures for an art project.

Nature's Contrast

Ok, this is a picture I took for an art class project. I took it for contrast, but I'm not to crazy about this one....

Return to the 50's: color version

This is the color version of the picture in the next post... It has been edited so that it has an ovel frame on the outside.

Return to the 50's

This picture I took in Savannah as well. Mom helped with photoshop and getting the, "return to the 50's" in red and making the rest black and white. This is by far one of my favorite pictures! :) It was kind of a hard shot to take because I had to stand in the middle of the street to take it. Mom kept having to look in the camera and move me over to get the "Savannah" sighn and the "return to the 50's" part. Look at the one above this post to see the original photo.

Lizard

Another picture I took while in Savannah. Andrew begged me to take the picture of the lizard so just to quiet him down I did.. The picture turned out wonderful!! My art teacher pointed out the color in the background was about the same as the color on the lizzards neck. The thing I love about this picture is the persision and how clean and detailed everything is. :)

Nature's Beauty

This is a picture I took of a flower on a street while we were in Savannah. I was just snapping pictures and though it might be cool... didn't expect it to turn out as well as it did even though it is a common picture I still like it. :)

Canyon Wood

I named this photo canyon wood because it is really just a piece of petrified wood, but at first glance looks like the wall of a canyon.

Years Gone By

A photo I took for art class. This picture won first place in the Quinlin Art Centercounty competition. It did go to state, but didn't win anything there. This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken...

Got a blogspot

Well, I just created a blog on here.. I have a word press blog, but I wanted to try this out because I heard it had more custimizations. :) So I'll figure out which one I like better, but I will have two blogs for different reasons. I think my other blog will be more personal and this one will be for my photographs as I take them and papers and reports I have written.
