Photography

So I feel the need to share how I feel about photography and this advanced photo class. Until recently I haven't really appreciated photo that much but I think after learning from my mistakes and listening to what everyone else was learning it really grew on me. I have realized how to express yourself with an image. The key in inspiration and passion I think. You don't really have to have inspiration and passion for photography though; as long as you have some strong feeling about something, the lens tends to show it to you in the strangest and most unexpected way. I think the reason I started taking good pictures is because I have finally learned so much and I found inspiration in my life to do something good. Maybe it doesn't just take skill like I thought it did because I love Samwuel (the camera) but what I love the most is that in pictures I can remember how I felt in that moment and make it show it with editing it. I am so happy I can finally see the awesomeness in photography that Mrs.Underwood has been trying to show us for so long. I really love to find one thing that inspires me and take a million pictures of it and find the one that shows exactly what I wanted it to. Sometimes I feel like the lens can't see what I see but after so many pictures it really does find it. It's amazing. 

Stacked

So this picture isn't as super moving to me as the one with the hand but the reason why I chose to take a million of this image is because it was all by itself and obviously someone put some serious work into it and honestly my first thought when I saw it is that I wanted to kick it down but then once I got close I loved the loneliness. 

Rosie

I love this image so much. Rosie is so beautiful and you can tell in her face that she is just loving the peace at the moment and soaking up the sun. So beautiful. Also I really love the perspective because you don't really see it all the time and so that makes it super awesome.

Rocks

So I took like a million of these pictures and for some reason I fell in love with this one. I just really like the way his hand is trying so hard to keep like eight rocks standing at one point and i don't know there is some kind of feeling in it that didn't happen with the other photos.

Doggies

I liked this image because of the dog shaking all of the water off of him and the other dogs having their cute little moment.

Riley

I really like this image because he has like a human feel to him. It was hard to get a good one because obviously puppies don't stay still long. 

Copper

I took this picture at the beach obviously and was experimenting with taking action photos. I just kept calling him over to see what he would do and this is what he did and I love it.
