Cold

This is my brother Monte. I think the picture worked well because you can see the snowflakes on his eyelashes and faec. It would have been better if you could see some snow in the background. This was for the cold assignment.
The main subject of this photo is my brother catching snowflakes on his tongue. The secondary subject would be all the snow falling around him. I think the snow looks cool and I like how Monte is in focus. I made this picture because it was snowing out for the cold assignment!

The main subject of this photo is my dog and the secondary subject is the snow. I like how my dog stands out of the white background. I think it would look cooler if I could make everything besides the dog be black and white. This is for the open theme assignment.

Favorite Professional Photos

This is a picture of colored powder being thrown in the air at the Color Run. The colors look so cool in this picture and the picture was taken with perfect timing This picture was taken by Taeleman photography.
The subjects of this photo are the lion in the background, which is in focus, and the antelope, which is not. I think this picture was also taken at the perfect time of day. It was taken by Morkel Erasmus.
I think the main subject of this photo is the sun, and the secondary subject is that it is taken underwater. I think that it just looks so cool because half of the picture is below water and half is above! This photo was taken by Duffy Knox.
I love this picture of a leopard taken by David Lloyd. The one ray of light going across it makes it look amazing!

I really like these two pictures of the sky because I love anything that is galaxy-like. I think any sky with any kind of purple in it is super pretty! These were both taken by Kenneth Snyder.
The main subject of this photo is obviously the tree. I love this picture because it was taken at just the right time of day, and the grass is super green! It was taken by Ed Cooley.
The main subject of this photo are the fireworks over the Golden Gate Bridge. The secondary subjects are the boats in the water and the city in the background. This picture was taken by Daniel Leu.
The main subjects of this photo are the two red fox vixens. It was taken by Jim Coda. I really like how you can see all the little white hairs on the one that's standing on the log.
This is a picture of the Michigan-Alabama game at Cowboys stadium. It was taken by Evan Gearing. I think the fish eye lens makes it look really cool!

Open Theme #1


The main subject of this photo is Tyler Johnson about to shoot. The secondary subject is Kyle Hauge guarding him. I think this picture worked well because it is an action shot but it's pretty much all clear. I made this picture because I take pictures of pretty much everything when Mrs. Matson lets me use her camera! This is for the open theme assignment.

The main subject of this photo is Mikey Dux shooting. I think the picture is good because he's still in the air and holding his follow through. I made this picture because I love taking pictures of sports. This is for the open theme assignment.
The main subject of this photo is the girls' basketball team. I think the reflections on the court are what works well in this picture. I made this picture because some of the girls told me to take pictures of them and this one caught my attention. This is for the open theme assignment.
I really like this picture of the sunrise because the colors are so bright, and the trees are completely black. It might have been better if I had taken the picture a little earlier when the color were even brighter. I made this picture because the second I woke up I knew this needed to be photographed! This is for the open theme assignment.




When we were ice skating on the river, I noticed this heart bubble in the ice. The scrapes from the skates make it look better, in my opinion. This might have been a better picture if I tried taking it from a few different angles. I made this picture because when I saw this it amazed me! This is for the open theme assignment.

This is a picture of my friend's cat, Simba Meowgi. I like that the focus is only on the cat. I made this picture because I think this is probably the cutest cat in the entire world. This is for the open theme assignment.
