A Small Selection from my Final Project

For my final project, I explored shooting in different exposures, aiming for a mix of very clear and well defined shots along with more transparent and blurred long exposures with vivid colors. Here is a sampling of what I ended up with. Special thanks to all models who helped with this project.

Emulating Edward

Sorry this is only getting posted 2 months after I presented it in class, but better late than never, I suppose...

Time to play catch-up

I realize I'm way behind on our 20 pictures per week quota, so I'm gonna play a little catch-up here with a bunch of fabulous nature photos I got off the PBS page on Facebook. Hummingbird photos are all attributed to Matthew Bradbury, leopards courtesy of Mark Fletcher, and all others (from "Braving Iraq") by Stephen Foote.
