Animal Shoot - Sabina

Taking Flight 

I really like this photo, but I might crop out or try to get rid of the water disturbance in the left of the photo. I wish I had a longer lens or was lower to the ground. It was difficult capturing the flight of a bird, but I am proud of this image, which is probably why I don't want to edit it yet. I like the reflection of the houses in the background. This image feels comforting to me. Safe, but free.

The Adopted Child of Kiv and Me

If I was able to get a photo with a background that could let the colors of the foreground pop, that would be ideal. I would also experiment with closer up images or use the black jacket as a background so the colors don't blend so much. In hindsight, I could have cleaned the oyster (I'm not sure what it is) a bit more. I was unsure of what I was hoping to capture with this image since I just wanted to capture it. I like the layers it has, as if like a tree, each line represents time passed.

Three Musketeers 

I cropped this image and tried to follow the rule of thirds. I am somewhat happy with the outcome It would have been nice for the bird in the middle to have flown a bit faster, but I like that the first and last bird have similar wing orientations so that the middle bird is more focal. I would work on editing the exposure of the image to make the birds more exposed. I would also play around with the color of the sky.

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

By

  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...
