This is a landscape photograph I took at during sunset at Robert Moses. All I was hoping to capture was a beautiful sunset and got something more. When I decided to walk closer towards the water that's when I found this huge puddle that created some separation and beautiful reflection of the sunset. I enjoyed taking these landscapes and the colors the sun leaves in the sky as it sets. So much so that I woke up early one morning to catch the sunrise and see what affect that had and compare the difference in the sky. I had gotten more colors in the sky during sunset than I did during sunrise. Sunrise had more cool colors than warm, but still was just as beautiful as the sunset. Just had different affects. This photo is one of the unedited versions. I can improve my photo by adding more contrast and adjusting the exposure. I also have some spots that could be removed by the spot removal tool in light room.

This photo was taken for my Photo lab class and the assignment was to take texture, pattern and abstract photos. I enjoyed taking the texture ones because they can be a bit misleading. some people thought this what an image of sand but it's actually a photograph of a wall. I took this photo with a high ISO of 100 my shutter speed was low at a 1/15th of a second with an aperture of 10. This photo came out a bit under exposed but  I could edit this photo in light room by making my exposure a lighter also add in some contrast. I would also darken my shadows. These adjustments would bring out more detail and really bring out the texture. I enjoyed doing this project and I liked searching for these textures to photograph.

I attended the faculty exhibition in the art gallery last Wednesday to view the work of others as well as my professors. Two of my professors had work hung up at the gallery, Both professor Cyr and professor Naideau. Everyone's art work were all different and unique. When you look at other artists work together you can see everybody has their own interpretation. you can create whatever it is you want and give it meaning. The art work that stood out to me the most was "Waves of debris" by Elena Soterakis, which was a collage made with oil and mixed media paper. When I first saw the work I didn't realized she used real paper and incorporated it into her work. Someone else actually had to point it out to me. when i noticed that and really looked into the detail it gave it more meaning for me and I thought it was a great idea to add in the actual debris left by us. We create a good portion of pollution in the world and for her to take that and put it in her work I felt wa...
