This photo was taken at a country club called the Hawthorns in Fishers.I took it at the path leading to the entrance of the building. I took this photo at roughly 5:30 yesterday. This photo includes leading lines, repitition and framing.

The pillars leading down the path represent repitition. The path leading down through the pillars draws the viewers attention to the door at the very end of the path and is leading lines. Finally the two end pillars at the sides, the roof and the ground frame the picture.
My favorite part about this photo is the almost perfect repitition. It almost makes the photo seem like there is a mirror down the middle of the path. I had a choice to either put the door at the end of the path in one of the thirds but i decided not to because I thought this would look better.

This photo is of trees in the woods on south campus. I took this photo at around 11:30 when we did our photoshoot. This picture is backlighting because the light shines on the back of the main subject making it darker which are the trees in this case.

With this picture I was trying to show how bright the light was while making the main subject as dark as possible. This image capture my eyes as when we were deep in the woods where there was not much light. There was one spot where it seemed like the sun had shown right through the trees.

I think its really cool how the branches of the trees are real dark while the leaves are a lot lighter on the branches are a lot lighter. I also like how you dont exactly know what the photo is when you first look at it. I really enjoyed taking photos this week and think I personaly learned a lot about backlighting.

This is a picture of a football being thrown by nick on on the basketball court. You cant really tell but the football was moving pretty fast when I took the photo.I also had to crop nick out of the photo by replacing his head with some fence.
I think I was pretty lucky to end up with this shot considering I was trying to get out of the way of the ball while taking a picture of it. I really like how the basketball goal blends into the backround. I also like how the football is in the rule of thirds.
With this picture I was trying to capture the football moving as fast as I could while having it completly still in the photo. I was also trying to take this picture at more of a birds eye view rather than strait on. I like how this picture turned out in the end and had alot of fun taking it.
