I took this picture outdoors.In a nice preety warm day.I really like this picture because this place has a especial meaning to me.This is the place were i ride my quads since im really into motorcycles.So i spend lots of my time here.I like it becausei never saw this place as a landscape from a diferent view.I like the shadows of the places were the sun dosent hit and how bright it is were it does.This is one of my favorite pictures and i really hope to keep getting the oportunity to learn and expirent more of my photagrophy skills.

I really liked this picture of the colors of the rocks the mountains the sky like a red pink kind of color and the dense white of the fog.The composition it is in is also perfect.The rocks really up close, you can see the texture of them.Then the farther it gets they dissapear and are no longer visible.The center is all white and foggy and at the end those mountains give it a natural feel for nature.When i see this picture i get the sense of the wonderfulness and the beauty of nature.I really love the sky with thos fading clouds and the pink redish color they have reflecting on the foggy water.

I think what made this picture so especial is the fact that it was taken right before sunrise.That single thing apart from all the other things made me love this picture of a nice landscape.

CULTURE

This project was based on culture and well in this one i exposed the art of mexican culture.I exposed differences that makes the culture different like in our culture our parents will never leave use alone like that.When i look at this picture i ask myself where are this kid's parents.This picture was taken outside under a bridge in Tijuana. I really enjoyed this picture and the meaning of expressing culture, and i really liked my photo .I know its not the best ,but i really liked it.

PORTRAIT

I had fun working on portrait and intending on making it a better portrait with techniques we learned like using natural lighting and just the way it reflects on the model and creates dark shadows

and a little dim that shines and kind of blurs next to the models face.I organized the table and the chair at the same height of her.I really enjoyed using natural lighting and i really liked it.I enjoy to continue learning new photography techniques in this class.

This picture was taken outside. The purpose of this project was to learn how to use everything around us to make a great picture, and it turned out to work if you look carefully and think creatively you can get a great picture.I used the pole to sort of aline it with my model in a kind of centered way.I really enjoyed this project and I think even tho it wasent the biggest assignment it had a really good lesson that really helped me.To improve my photography skills and develop them in this class.
