Landscape photos - Kendra




In the first photo it was towards the end of the sunset and I balanced the camera on a rock. I was at Waypoint park on the beach sitting on some rock by the water. I zoomed it a tiny bit for this photo to focus on the light better. I really like the little duck in the water as well as the reflection to give other things to look at. Getting the focus was a bit challenging with the large dark piece of land in the front and I didn’t actually mean to get the rock in the photo but I kind of like how it's the blurry rock in the front then things more in the back are more focused. I wasn’t actually planning on taking a photo at this time of the sunset nor did I expect to take one to use for this homework but then I saw this one and really liked it. 

The second photo is earlier in the sunset also at Waypoint park but this was on the balcony part above the water and the camera was sitting on the ledge of the balcony thing. This was at the beginning of the sunset. I was really happy with how the clouds looked right above the light part like the ones more towards the right middle side of the photo. Also I really like the ducks in the water next to each other and the reflection of everything is super cool. Capturing the like between the clouds was hard but I think I was able to make it clear ish. 

And this photo I know the assignment was two photos but I really wanted to add the first one in then and I already had these two for the same place and everything. So this is from the same place at the same time and I liked how the ducks in this one are in a different position. This one is a tiny bot zoomed in whereas the one before is a tiny big zoomed in. Both are pretty clear and I am content with the outcome.

 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.

Nature in My Neighborhood - Aubyana

  There exists a stark contrast between the neighborhood I live in now, tucked along the edge of Garden Street, and the impoverished, subjugated area I once called home in Tacoma. My old neighborhood was a place where wildlife struggled to survive, and even if it had thrived, it would have still been inaccessible. The streets were more often filled with the remnants of human activity than the signs of nature. An occasional dog would wander the alleys. Sometimes, the aftermath of raccoons would leave a trail—scraps of trash scattered across the concrete, a testament to their nocturnal scavenging. Living in a place like this taught me how to hold immense gratitude for nature, unders tanding that the wealthy and middle classes tend to have more access, snow sports and family vacations that I would never experience myself. This motivated me to carve out time and seek out natural beauty, waterfronts and forest days that I prioritized. I feel immense privilege in having transitioned t...

Landscapes - Jordan

I went up to the Mt. Baker Ski Area for my pictures. I love the snow and the mountains, so I figured it would be the perfect spot. (I might also include more than two photos. I have a lot of landscape shots from other places, and no where else to show them off, lol.) This first photo is shot at F/5.0 1/2000 and ISO 64. I don't remember the focal length of the lens. But it was in the 20s, I think. F6.3, 1/2000 ISO 64 and this was shot at 50mm. So, the biggest critique that I have with my photos, and that I will always have with my photos, is that I can never tell if they are too dark. What looks fine to me, might actually be too dark. Especially when I just yank it straight from my camera and don't run it through Lightroom or something like that. Also, and maybe you'd be able to help answer this question for me, Professor; but how do you take photos with sunglasses? I had to wear them up on Mt. Baker because otherwise it would have been obscenely bright, but I felt ...
