Outdoor Portraits

I took this photo at Gregory Gardens Elementary. I took it here because it was somewhere close and pretty. I like this photo of her because she is a chill and unique person with her attitude and style.

 

I took this photo at Gregory Gardens. I liked this photo because she looks so relaxed and calm. 

 

I took this photo also at Gregory Gardens. I had her put on her jacket because it showed more of her unique style and vibe.

This photo was taken at Hearst Castle and I loved how this pathway looked.

 

This photo was also taken at Hearst Castle. I love how expressive this lion's face is. 

 

This is another picture taken at Hearst Castle. I thought it was cool that Hearst brought in zebras and that they are still there roaming the land today.


 

 

The Neptune Pool was so enchanting. I just wanted to dive right in.

 

This door managed to catch my eye, I am not quite sure why.

I changed the background and played with the brightness and shadows

I made the shadows darker and focused in more on the spring

I chose this photo because the curve of the architecture caught my eye. The line patterns in the bricks forms a nice border around the arch. I am very proud of this photo and like the shadow the sun makes.

I liked this photo because I love palm trees and the way their bark forms and makes a zig zag pattern. I decided to get up really close and focus more on the details of the bark. These make a jagged line pattern.

I love the effect of looking up the stairs and looking at the railing posts. i focused on the raining and how it creates a long leading lines effect.

I absolutely love this because the lines of this railing have this hard effect against the water in the background. I think it creates a nice effect. I used vertical lines in this photo.

I chose this picture because I loved this pattern that the shadow of the fence made.  I cropped, and brightened darkened the shadows a bit.  I also brightened the exposure.  I used Birds Eye View for this photo by looking down at the shadows and seeing it from an above perspective.

This picture I like because I took it through the spokes of a bike and a fence, which creates a frame effect.  I brightened the blues of the sky and the greens of the grass.  I cropped this picture and I turned down the exposure because the sun was taking up the picture. 

I love how this photo creates a frame around the grass, it is really cool to me.  I cropped the picture and focused more on the colors of the grass by brightening them.  I also adjusted the brightness so you could see the fence better
