Bricks
Flowers
Squirrel!
Implied Line
Exposure mode: Auto/P
Shutter Speed: 1/200
Aperture: f 5.0
I was just taking some pictures of the squirrels on campus and this one ran by the camera. I thought it showed a good implied line from where the squirrel was running. I used levels to adjust the contrast in the picture and the clone stamp to cover some random leaves in the grass.
Flowers & Leaves
Close Up
Exposure mode: Auto/P
Shutter speed: 1/320
Aperture: f 6.6
I was walking around campus looking at all the flowers and I really liked these ones. of the whole plant. I wanted to show how the sun was hitting the leaves, making the stems visible through the leaves. I thought the whole plant make a nice close up shot. I used levels to adjust the contrast of the picture and cropped it a bit.
