Lighting

I've been out and about, enjoying myself, taking pictures of everything and anything I find captivating. I've realised that I'm particularly fascinated by light, and the way it can change any landscape, room or scene. Maybe you can see that for yourselves in the following pictures... 

Movement & Lighting

The following pictures were taken from the car window, so you can see some movement in some of them - or they might seem slightly blury. I think it gives a nice edge to them. 

  

this is the only one I tweeked a little to make more of a contrast between the yellow and blue.

More Pictures from my Phone...

So, as I said, I love the fact that I can now take pictures of anything beautiful I see, at any given time. These are some pictures I've taken recently. Thanks to the blue skies, I've had some perfect opportunities to capture some beautiful pictures.

I took this from one of the school windows...

I love the way the light hits the mist - it's like a magical blanket.

This is the center of Bergen at dusk...

The reflection in the water is just beautiful.

...and this is the view from one of my windows at home...

This was the sunrise this morning.

Playing With Negative, Sepia, and Black and White Effects

I recently bought a new phone with a camera (welcome to the 21st century Ashley!!) that I absolutely adore! Now I can finaly take pictures whenever I want. The camera has so many settings on it, and I have yet to explore half of them. But like most other phones, it has some special effects on it. I know it's nothing ground-breaking, but it's amazing to see what kind of pictures you end up with. I'm particularly fond of the negative effect - maybe that's because I'm so backward...

Reflections

Here are some of my "reflection" pictures. I have to admit, I had little time to do this and I panicked, so I had to use my computer screen... but it's STILL a reflection, so there. 

Filters In Photoshop

We were asked to practice our "filtering" skills in Photoshop - something none of us find a very difficult task. Here are three of my pictures. Underneath, I've written which filters have been used.

Poster # 3, 4, 5, 6

Here are some posters I made using the pictures from last time!

I call this the clutter poster...

This is the abstract poster...

This is just a chill poster...

And THIS, my dear friends, is the evolution of a smile. These pictures were obviously not taken by me, but Sara. (that first picture is just scary).
