Camping at Cottage Grove

Jessica Cox and I went on some crazy adventures while we were camping at Cottage Grove. We took our canoe everywhere we went and basically we went along with the lake and the rivers that connected to them. With or without the pictures, the fantastic memories of taking the pictures and seeing the sight was memorable enough.

 This would be a picture of me kissing a flower. Photo Credit to Jessica.

We found some tall trees in one of the campsites and took a multiple exposer of us looking up at each other.

Another mulitple exposer, one that took forever to set up the right way. The set up in this picture was probably one of the most complex ones out of all the pictures we took. But it turned out really good.

Jessica during the sunset. We were sitting in the canoe, writing, and then the beautiful distracted me.

Canoes are our best friends. They are able to take us to the most amazing places ever when you least expect it.

 

Another canoe picture with me in a muliple exposer.

Jessica displaying her beauty to my camera. She's standing in the water while I'm standing on the dock looking down at her.

Jessica in a multiple exposer. One of her looking staight at the camera and the other is her upside down leaning against a tree.

A fun muliple exposer taken by Jessica. It was my idea to do something silly like "looking for myself".

This picture was supposed to turn out a little different than we expected, but it still turned out pretty good. Jessica on the left and the beautiful creek in the background. This location was our favorite.

I wanted to get a picture of a drangon fly so bad when I was on this trip, but I knew I would be too slow to take a picture of one in the air. But Jessica was able to spot one out that was landed in the grass right next to our tent. What luck!

Self Portrait

This is my Self Portrait Final. This picture was taken of me while the camera was up in the tree.

I loved this project. It was a little challenging to get all the angling correct, but I love all my pictures. I never had any problems with running out of ideas for this project.

This is probably my favorite picture. I am sitting in my room with a lamp angled under me against a white wall.

This picture makes me smile. I love the way the eyes stand out from the flares of my hair.

There isn't a specific reason why my face says 3:00. But it was my messiest picture out of all of them.

This one printed a little too dark so it is hard to see me on the swing set. But I still enjoy this picture a lot.

I had a lot of fun with this picture, though it took me some practice before I could get the design on my eye correct.

Portraits

I liked this project a lot. My model is Russ Carlin, my sisters dad. He has some of the best expressions.

I went over to my sister's house and I found a white wall in the house and I placed Russ there. I started talking to him about his days.

A lot of these pictures make me happy. I don't remember what I asked him. Maybe a old high school lover?

I think Russ has a very nice smile. These pictures were so easy because they didn't take long.

Talking about what would happen if the Oregon Ducks lost a game. He doesn't look very happy.

The first multiple exposer of Russ and it turned out very nice.

Multi-Exposer

 This was my favorite project because it was so interesting to see the different things you could find and discover. My models are Haley Snippen and Jessica Cox. I loved walking around and finding cool things to mix together in a photo. I am more of an outdoor person, so all my photos were taken outside.

I took this picture with Jessica Cox at Atfalati Park in Tualatin. I took two pictures of silhouettes, one cowering away from the other who is pointing at them. This is one of my favorite pictures from this project.

This picture is of Jessica and a tree in the background. I took a picture of her with an empty background, (sidewalk) then I took a picture of the tree as my second shot.

Haley was taken with some flowers in the background. The flowers had a hint of sunlight on the tips and I caught Haley laughing.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Jessica is a silhouette in front of a fence. Then she is in the fence, giving a deep glare.

In the park, we were tired from walking and she collapsed in the grass. I took pictures of her while she pretended to sleep.

I had the feeling this would be a cool picture. For the first exposer, I had to lay in the mud to get the perfect shot. "The things I do for Photo."

Alphabet Project

I loved this project so much. One of the things I loved most about it was just being creative and trying to find letters out of the strangest things. The location I took my pictures was in Central Oregon.
The word I picked for this project is Smiley.

Light Project

This light project was very difficult, but the direct lighting didn't seem to be as hard as the silhouettes.

When I looked at the structure and design of the slinky, I knew I would get some great shadows in the cracks.

This bird was taken in my room. I held it up to the light and the feathers made a perfect line of shine.

I found this lighting project a little more difficult. The silhouettes were really challenging for me. The pictures of the fork, slinky, and bird are some of my better pictures through out the process of this project.

One Thing Project

I knew I would have some fun on my first Photo Project, so I decided to throw in a ring on the vase.

I love the structure of this vase. It comes up with some of the best lighting materials and some twisted reflections.

I had a lot of fun with this project. It was my first time playing around with the lighting for this black vase. I felt much success printing out these pictures, because the vase gave them a lot of depth.

Pinhole of the School

This picture was a success and turned out really well. This is my 3rd pinhole.

Pinhole on Football Field

This pinhole was taken outside in the sun. This was the second one I had to test because the first one, the hole was left open too long. This pinhole turned out well.

My Self Portrait Pinhole

I had fun with this pinhole and the time was okay.
