I was just going for a walk and decided to bring my camera and these where my two favorite of the bunch.

Journal 13 i believe...

Revisit- This morning I looked out the dining room window and saw the smoke from our furnace out in the shed. The sun was just shining through the trees and the shadows where falling on the fog. So then there we these large shadow pretty much flouting. I would have used a fastish shutter speed to capture the movement of the smoke and a medium aperture so i don't loose detail of the shadow on the smoke. 

Can't revisit- Another thing I saw on my way to my aunts in Connecticut was one of her neighbors house. There where lights that where placed so that the light could shine through the little shrubs that where lined up outside their house. The shadows that the twigs and and what few leaves where left where mixtures of soft and hard shadows. I would experiment with the shutter speed to get different exposers then layer them. 

Journal 12

Can't revisit- I was on my way to conneticut to go see me aunt and her family. It was a long driver. I had to be around 9:30ish at night when we drove b this bridge. The bridge had lights on it that are star shapped and I wish we could pull over but we where on a highway. If we could have stopped I would use a long shutter speed to light up the area around and then a fast shutter speed to show the defonition of the star shapped street lights. Also getting it at may different angles would be good.

Can revisit-I put a blue bow on my cat, storm. He had never had anything tied around his neck before so he startred to freak out. He was jumping all around trying to claw at the ribbon that hangs down from his neck. I would use a fast shutter speed and a depending on the day I would either need a high apature. 

Splash Zone

Sleep with the Moon

Journal 11

Can revisit-When I was eating breakfast I looked outside and saw the cold frost on the grass and trees. The sun was just coming over the mountain so it was slowly lighting up the sparking frost. I kind of liked the contrast of the warm looking frost that was being shone on by the sun and the colder looking frost still untouched by the rays of the sun. It had to be around 7:15ish. I would have used a repetitively fast shutter speed like a 1/60 or an 1/100 with a wider aperture.

Can't revisit- Monday night I believe I was shooting for painting with light and landscapes for night photography. The moon had came over the mountain and i got a really awesome picture with painting with light and the landscape incorporating the moon. Anyways I wish i got a picture of the moon with the creatures so I could have over lay it with the other photo to get a stronger picture. But I didn't think about it and when I did the moon had risen high enough that It would have been difficult to overlay it in Photoshop.I would have used a fast shutter speed and lower aperture to capture the depth of the cratures on the moon.

Rising

Journal 10

Cant revisit: I feel like everything i see is on my way to school, but that doesn't matter. Anyways my mom was just pulling off the cover bridge in Dummerston to go on route 30 to Brattlebore. There is this old antique place thats right a cross the road. They had put this old warn out couch in front of the house. The couch was a very light lime green. The sun was just coming over the side of the mountain behind me and there was a frost the night before. So when the rays of the sun hit the front on the couch it lit the couch up with small sparkling specks of the frost turning then the morning gold of the rays. It happened to go with the color o the couch. I would experiment with any angle i could so i can show the road, couch, the frost that is lighting up and sun coming up over the small mountain side, but the couch isn't there anymore. 

Can revisit: I really enjoyed trying to capture the water droplets this week. I really wanted to get a picture where the water droplets has hit the water and has caused the water to rise up in one single little thing and i wanted another one to drop right onto it as it rises up but every time we attempted that the drop lets would be off or to many would be dropped. So at some point I would like to go back and see if I can crete the picture of the crash between the first droplets splash and they second on dropping onto it. 

Jaws of Power

Journal 9

Revisit: Last night I was trying to do some painting with light. It was around 8 and  I really didn't want to go outside because it was cold and I wanted to watch TV, but I went out anyways. I had my brother come help me and we set up in the front yard. It was more like a test run to see if I could do orbs...which i can't because really bad at it. I bought a red glow stick and attached it to string. I picked up a camera card that I thought it was mine. I took about three exposers and the card was full. I had no clue why but then I went inside and looked for my card and couldn't find it. I had my settings on manual and I was shooting for 30s and I don't remember what my aperture was. I defiantly am going to be looking for better places to do my painting with lights.

Can't revisit: Yesterday I was walking to my moms work. A group of guys where skateboarding but they kept on falling off. I knew one of the guys. After his friend wiped out he jumped on the skateboard and started to try to do some moves. Then suddenly he hits a crack int he side walk and goes summersaulting into the air. It was around 3-30 to 4ish. It was so funny and I wish I had my camera to capture him flying through the air and his facial expression. I would have used a a fast shutter speed and a wide aperture to let more light in.

Discovery of Flying

Dark Art. Wings of a Dragon

This is my Dark Art photo. Its a self portrait of my popping out my shoulder blades so that when I go into photoshop I could add wings to them.I used a fire tool so i could breath fire. Added a dragon tail and leg. Over laid a scale like pattern of snake skin over my skin and chanced the opacity then cleaned up around to the pattern was only on my skin, I added a ledge in the back ground and the galaxy to add  more to the empty black space that I added to have more room to work with the wings, fire, tail and leg.

Journal 6

Revist: Went to mill river yesterday to play a our second to last game. It had to be around 2-4ish. There are these moutains way behind the feild that we played on they where way cool. It was slightly cloudy but still very light. Around the end of the game the sun was just over the top og the moutain and i thought it look very pretty. I would have used a high aputure to keep everything in focus and a fastish shutter speed.


Cant revist: Every morning for the most part there is fog rising off the water and moutains. This morning the fog was right over the road. When I looked up I saw thise cool fog tuffs that where right above and the look so close and I had not clue. Idk really how to explain. It is deffently something you need to see to understand what im talking about. Have no clue what settings i would use. Would just expereamnt

High contrast

 The original of the Boy with the Guitar.  Shot for the high contrast project for another class.











This is the edited picture. I brought some high lights and used the grayscale for black and white. You can now see more detail in both hands and arms. As well as the center of his chest. Also can see some of the sleeve brought back in.

Can't revisit:
I was up in harford vt for a away game. I won by the way. Anyways it was just after the game it and was almost dark out. We had stopped at a gas station to get some food or drinks. After we left I glanced out the window and looked at the moon. It was one of those half cresent or something like that. Then we crossed a bridge and OMG(i have to say) I missed a really awesome picture. The moon looked big and hung over the stream.The trees climbed with the stream up the small moutain side ans almost had the moon in between them. Then the reflections on the water where awesome too because it seemed to fall perfectly in a nice calmer spot of the stream so it was only a small shimmering relfection. I would have used a shutter speed of one hundered or more because I was on a moving bus, also to cause sillouetting of the trees and to keep detail in the moon. I would have also liked to have a nice long exposer of it down by the side or even if possiable in the middle of the stream to get the tree and leaves to show and and then even layer a nother exposure to get the creaters on the moon.

Can revisit:
We had to go outside for norens class to go identify some trees. We had to go through this trail that leads to the Familary feild. On the trail we had to jump over the stream to continue over the path. I would have liked to get a picture of some of the kids jumping over it for some fun. So i can easily get a friend to go with me and have them jump over. Then also on that walk I saw a supper cool waterfall that I know I can revist, and a cool tree. Wow that was three things. Oh well loved all of those images in my head anyways. So for the jumping over one I would use a fast shutter speed to catch people in mid air. Maybe do a seasen before the person and get water blur and then have the person jump over then blend the two photos together. The tree just a few different vantages of it. Not much to it. Then the water fall. I might use for and our current projects as an idea for a flouting person over the cool falls. I think it would be neat. Again two exposures for a fast and long shutter speed. We shall see if I follow through.

Color wheel

This is my color wheel. Not in this right order but whatever. I face painted my friend and this is what I got.

Something I can revisit
On my way home there is this old stone thing that use to hold up rail road tracks so it could cross the river to get to the abandoned quarry. Well now there is just that stone column just there. So anyways I happened to look over and all around the stone column and there was trees with their leaves all yellow reflecting on the water. I just liked the way that the yellow in the refection was warming of the stones. Also the way the column was perfectly lined up with the water line so it looked like...I don't know its hard to explain, really it would have been a nice picture.

Something I can't revisit
I was on forced to go a hike Mt wantasacit or whatever the mountain is called just over the on the New Hampshire side, with my mom and brother. I took my camera because at least I might get some cool pictures from it. Well my camera doesn't really work, and I hate it to the core. If I use the shutter priority setting it only manages the shutter speed, but when I go to the appiture settings and adjust something then go back to shutter speed nothing has changed. Ever picture I took was way under exposed and was too dark to even tell what it was. I found this really cool rock that had a nice steady flow of water trickling down its side. There where three little falls and they where all in different parts of the rock and I really wanted to get a nice picture of it, but sense my camera setting don't want to work together it came out pretty much pitch black, which sucked. I don't have any time to try to go back and get a picture do to soccer.
