Inline Skating Championships

These few photos were taken in Colorado Springs at the Inline Skating Championships held by Team USA. This was such an interesting experience, I had no idea there was competitive inline skating. These people are like machines! I have never seen such gigantic leg muscles on people. It was an awesome experience, and I wish I could have been down there for more of the competition. Hope you enjoy!

Toy Car

This was taken for my Editorial Class for our first assignment. We had to take a picture of something in a very objective way (neutral, not very interesting), then a picture of the same thing in a very subjective way (adding my own personal twist to the lighting, location, background, angle etc.) This is my subjective shot.

Night for Day

This shot was actually taken during the mid-afternoon. The point was to use different colored gels to change the colors of the photograph to make it look like it was taken during the evening. The concept I was going for here was "Schoo's out!"

Beverage

Our final for my studio class was to shoot a beverage. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to do either a smoothie or a milkshake, and decided upon strawberry-banana milkshake. Had a slight setback when I went to clean my class and dropped it right before my shoot, luckily I found this one in a random cabinet in the studio! I like the way the shot turned out in the end, and it was very very tasty to eat while we were shooting :)

Where's Wendy!!!

Here is my Where's Wendy! I am not totally satisfied with the image yet, there are still a few things I would like to add to it to improve the shot a little bit, so when I have some free time to work on it and get it totally the way I want it, I will post again. I have posted the before and the after of the image to show everything that I have added. Hope you all enjoy!

Digital Zone

This was taken for an assignment in my Advanced Principles class. I would explain the assignment but to any non-photography savvy people it would sound like gibberish, so here it is! Hope you all like it. I especially like the highlights on the chrome, and the fact that the bike is orange :)

Where's Waldo?

For my Digital Image Illustration II class our final project is a composite of at least 15 different images put together to make one. It took me quite a while to finally come up with a good concept for this, but I landed upon Where's Waldo. I am using a panoramic scene of a local park. I am also photographing other people at the park and compositing them into my scene. And yes, there will be a waldo! I am super excited for this project and it is coming along nicely! I am going to be doing some more shooting for it tomorrow but I wanted to let you all know what my big project I am working on right now is, and hopefully get you as excited about it as I am! I will post original "Where's Waldo" scenes on my blog with my updates to keep you all entertained until my finished product :)
