2nd Semester Photography 2012



Here is why I love this picture. The lines and texture are fantastic. I really like how you can see the spikes on the cactus. I also love how close the photograph was taken. This is known as macro. Excellent job!
Here is a great example of cropping and digital adjustments...

Taking a Panoramic

Panning is a technique where the photographer takes a series of pictures in a row to create a long ongoing photograph. It is often used in car racing or landscapes.

Filters

Filters are a fun digital adjustment that you can make to almost any picture and add some digital interest. Here are the best filter examples this semester.

Digitally Enhanced- Winner



Congradulations to Sydney Gaskin for her digitally enhanced image.



I just want to thank everyone who participated in ACA's first ever digital photography contest. It was a blast getting to share your pictures and having the people we know vote for their favorites. Speaking for myself the decisions were tough because I really loved so many of the pictures.

I will post everyone's pictures that participated over the next few weeks so you can see who took what pictures but I just want to let all of you know that you did a great job and I am really impressed with your photography skills.

Congrats again to the winners who will be receiving gift cards in the mail as well as have their pictures featured in our Mesa office.
