Thanksgiving

This thanksgiving, I am grateful for many things in life, however I am the most grateful for having such amazing friends. They have helped me throughout my 3 years of high school and made me have a good and fun time.

A photo from a hangout with my friends, where we got together and went to the movies.

They are the prime reason why I enjoy coming to school everyday. Outside of school, its even more fun since we all go and hangout at places like the mall oran amusement park. They have supported and helped me through my ups and downs at times. I couldn't have asked for better friends and I hope in the future, our strong friendship stays the same.

My partner, Cristina, helping me out with the ghost shutter speed photo for an assignment.

This picture has to be my ultimate favorite just because the ghost, blurry effect is something that's been a personal favorite of mine. I especially love how my picture came out and I'm really proud of it. How I achieved this technique is I put the shutter speed to 4.0 seconds. This allowed whomever in the picture to move for about 4 seconds before the picture is finally taken and finished. I didn't do any heavy editing to the picture besides cropping and making the contrast higher.

A group of pretty blue flowers I found outside with sunlight hitting them.

This picture I took is another favorite of mine because I like how ethereal and beautiful it all looks. Flowers have always been something that fascinates me and grabs my attention because of their beauty. I love how the sunlight casts upon that one section of flower, making it look special. How I took this photo was I went to a shaded area and made my ISO 6400 and aperture f/32. This gave the photo the lighting it has right now. The shutter speed was 1/800 seconds that way it wouldn't look blurry, but instead crystal clear.

Another group of flowers I thought looked pretty outside near all the classrooms.

This picture is a picture I took most recently, which is part of this assignment. Just like the last photo, I took it because flowers are fascinating and these ones stood out since there was a whole bush of them. How I took this photo was I took the camera off auto-focus, that way I can control the focus. How I edited the picture was I cropped it and took the coloring mixer to tone down the saturation of the green.
