Jazmine - Landscape Photos

By

This photo was taken at Marine Park in Fairhaven. I chose this location because it overlooks the water and has nice scenery. I like how the sunshine reflects on the water and how clear the clouds look.

What I dislike about this photo is the angle. I wish I had gone closer to the water and angled my camera upwards to capture a photograph that resembled a landscape slightly more. Many landscape photographs that feature water can mirror their subject in the water and I wish I had done that instead of my camera being so high up.

I struggle with my photographs being too dark and overshadowing the subject. This photo is brighter than my previous ones, but I still would have liked for the trees and sand to the left to be more visible. 



This photo was shot at Boulevard, also located in Fairhaven. I walked there for my second photograph location because of the higher elevation. I like the color palette in this photo, it all blends together nicely. However, I wish I had taken them during golden hour instead. The sunset would have nicely overlooked the boardwalk and again, would have captured more of a landscape vibe. 

I captured this scene a few different times, with different zooms and apertures. I liked this scene when I zoomed in more but chose this photograph to capture more range. Although I do not think I like it as much. I decided to use this one as it captures the train tracks and the rocks to the right which gave the photograph more substance. 


Although there are things I wish I had done differently, I am still pleased with the way my shots came out.

Week 2: Nature in our neighborhood-Amanda

 This week, we focused on capturing images of animals in our neighborhood while reflecting on the types of wildlife that inhabit the area. Observing and photographing these creatures provided a fascinating insight into their behaviors and movements, making me appreciate the subtle beauty of local wildlife.  One of my favorite moments was photographing an owl, a shot from a previous quarter that I was particularly proud of. I managed to capture the bird’s full wingspan in Cornwall Park with a synchronous series of about five images, showcasing the power and grace of its flight. The way the owl’s wings stretched across the frame created a striking visual, highlighting both its size and the intricate details of its feathers. This experience reinforced how rewarding patience and timing can be when photographing wildlife, especially birds in motion.  The other two pictures I captured were of deer, which, while not as dramatic as the owl shots, presented their own unique challe...

 Nature is all around us! A camera is an incredible tool that not only captures what we see, but helps us to see more. When we pick up a camera we find ourselves on the spectrum between art and science. While our cameras objectively capture light, we decide where to point them and why. If a picture is worth a thousand words then an image can make valuable contribute to our understanding of an organism, inspire people to action, or make  someone smile. This blog will be a place for us to share our photos and our reflections about them.

Water Photoshoot -- Contessa

  Water is what drew me to Bellingham. I was raised in Pennsylvania, a landlocked state, and while some count Lake Erie's 77 miles of Pennsylvania shoreline as a vague exemption to landlocked-ness, I do not. My entire life, the closest ocean was at least a full day's drive away in New Jersey. Those in Philadelphia had the luxury of making that drive in under two hours, but Pittsburgh is closer to the Midwest by a long shot, and I was significantly closer to Indianapolis than the ocean.  My mom was born and raised in University Place, Tacoma with constant access to the water. If it was nice out, she went to the water. If it was a special occasion, she went to the water. If she had free time or needed to breathe good air or had any excuse at all, she went to the water.   When she married my father, he brought her to Pittsburgh, where he grew up and where starter homes were affordable for a freshly married couple in graduate school with plans to raise two children. She was b...
