Recent tragedy has struck.... I think my camera was hit by a basketball, and now the screen is severely cracked and my camera is unresponsive. Probably won't be posting too many pictures for a while. Sorry, guys!

This squirrel didn't have an acorn, and he was kind of aggressive. In this picture, he was positioning himself to jump. I'm assuming he was gonna go for my dog who was jumping up on the tree, below the photo, and barking at the squirrel.

My dad spotted these. I wanted to block the direct light, but still let some of it shine through.

I spent quite a bit of time trying to get my dog into that little spot of light, and finally my dad had to jump out onto one of the rocks and hold him there.

 I went for a walk with my dad on the 3 1/2 mile loop around little long pond, and near half way, I looked up into a tree and noticed this little guy. He was way too interested in his acorn to pay attention to us.

This is one of the other photos that I used in my double exposure pictures. I love this picture because of the angle, but also because I had to stretch a little to get this shot, so to keep my balance, I put my hand on the door and captured my hand in it as well.

                         

 These flowers are absolutely gorgeous, and personally, I believe these are some of my best shots.

We had to do another double exposure picture with a filter on a selected area. If you look closely at the horseshoe picture, you can see half saturated color, and half black and white. This was my filter. Over that I put a picture of a Peony. I REALLY like this edit! (:

We had to do a double exposure photo for digital photography, so I chose a picture that was already up on my blog and covered it with one of my favorite pictures of my favorite flower, a peony. I liked both of these photos, so when I decided to put them together for the double exposure photo, I had hoped they would merge well, as they did.

In this picture, the main subject is the Agamont Park water fountain. In the back ground, there are many other thins too. One of the porcupine islands, a few mountains, the ocean, the Agamont Park walk way, a couple benches, and a few bushes. When I see this picture, I think of a happy summer day. The bright blue sky in the back ground, and the angle of the sun set a summer mood. I also like that you can see the color through the water at the top of the fountain. All in all, I probably should have gotten this at a few different angles and straightened it some, but I still really like this photo.

This is the picture I chose for my group photo. Within this photo, there are all 12 MDI Varsity volleyball players, a few JV players from Scarborough, and all the normal things you would see in a gym. I chose this photo because 1) It's a group 2) I love that the whole team seems to be getting along and 3) I like the alignment of the jerseys. All of the team mates for the most part are smiling. None of them seem to be down even though they were losing at that point. They are a team, "Win together, lose together". Overall, I don't think this is a great picture, and it can definitely be better, but I do like this picture a lot, because it captures the simplicity of being part of a team. It definitely captures what I wanted to capture, but I can capture a better image for group photos.

These flowers.<3 I absolutely love them. I love this picture too... I love the color, the lighting, and the angle. The ant was unintentionally captured, but I think the little guy brings this photo a little more life than it would've had without him. (: On a side note, these are my favorite flowers, and I spent the entire spring watching them day by day waiting for them to bloom. My wait was well worth it. This was one of many pictures taken that day.

This is the same picture I posted yesterday, but I darkened the edges and intensified the color a little. I absolutely love this picture. It's amazing how something as simple as an old picnic table in your yard can make such a gorgeous picture. Some people might not like this photo as much as I do, but I've always heard "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (: 

I took this picture before I really knew I was a decent photographer. I took a bunch of pictures that day and when I can in, my dad went through them and after he commented on them, and I saw them, I realized that I did honestly love taking pictures and i was pretty good at it. Since then I've taken TONS of pictures and they improve almost every time. My dad supports me in everything, and I'm so glad he supported me in this before I knew I wanted to do it! On a side note, this is hands down my favorite photo that I've ever taken.<3

Although the color is quite yellow, I still love these photos and the gift!<3

We got some surprise visitors while in Digital Photography this morning. They only stayed for a little while, but we all got a few good pictures. (:

This is one of my favorite pictures that I've ever taken. It's already on here once as an original copy, but I went in and changed some of the sharpness and color settings and this came out... I like it even more now. (:

Some people think I'm weird because I'm always behind the lens, but I thing they're nuts because they never give it a chance.<3

This was my favorite picture taken yesterday of mine, and I decided to edit it using Picmonkey and add some inspirational text. (:

Our assignment was simple: Go out and take pictures of flowers. We did as instructed, and came up with tons of different results... These were my 3 favorite shots out of the photos that I took. 

Tigga, not Tigger. He's my cat... He knows me better than anyone or anything.<3

Tesla balls are my obsession. (:

My first softball team.. Love these girls!<3

Fuzzy moo cow.<3

Mondo... My dog, My brother, and my best friend.<3

Not my photography, but I still LOVE this picture.<3
