political assignment

my original idea for this project was not able to happen, due to circumstances beyond my control. so i took a literal approach to the "political" aspect. as election day draws near, ive notice millions of these signs around my town, and i think the blues and reds of them  contrast nicely with the green grass and somewhat not as bright background.

landscape assignment

i found this project to be difficult. i'm generally not inspired by landscapes. but as i was driving through a town on saturday, i found this marina. and it just looked so interesting, i was glad to have my camera with me. i really love the way the gray water blends into the overcast sky, and the father and son fishing, because i'd rather be taking portriats. this was a way to combine the two.

color assignment

the first two photos i played around with the white balance settings; the first one is in daylight mode, the second is shot using tungsten. and finally is the flower, i really wanted to have an extremely vibrant and colorful shot....and this is it. i used macro mode to get really close, so all the details could be seen.
