The picture I liked from this week was called The Heavens and The Earth. This picture had a large metal-steel framed globe in it with water shooting up behind it making a heaven looking illusion. I liked the shape of the globe versus the non clarity of the water shooting up in the background.

Sep 6-13
The picture I liked from the week was called Ray of Rememberance. It was a picture of New York City with lights beaming from the former World Trade Center. This picture had really good color contrast between the dark city and the bright lights beaming making it look like a ray of hope.

My favorite was heavens in the earth. I really liked how the light was behind the suvject, making it all in shadow. I also loked how the sun was shining through the clouds, giving them an outline too.

Sept 6-13
I liked Ray of Rememberance. I liked it because the perspective was at a really cool angle, and the lights at the bottom draws attention to how tall the other towers are.

The Heavens and the Earth is my favorite beacase the shading in the clouds is amazing. The shadows make the small amount of light in the sky pop out and that caught my attention immeadately. Another really inportant element is color because the way the light is reflected in this photo is important in its uniqueness.

The Hevens and the earth execelent composition. i like how it is just underexposed and that the water is frozen with a little flow (very small flow)i like how the bike is in there showing porportion making the pic seem even bigger.


Sept6-13

Community in need

i like this pic because once again it is big and the porportion looks as of the trees and house are from a train set. crazy the way it looks like that.

my favorite photo of the week for aug. 31-sep. 6 is the one entitled 48 is nunber one. it is cool because the race car is if focus but the rest of it is blurry. they must have tracked the car. This is the reason it cought my eye.

For the week of Aug. 31 to Sept. 6 my favorite photograph is called The Heavens and the Earth. It is my favorite because i really like pictures of clouds with good use of space and color.

For the week of Sept. 6 to Sept. 13 is called Iternational Illuminations. It is my favorite because of the awesome light and color of the firework. Also the texture of the explosion is very appealing. Also the use of space and being able to see how much larger the firework is than the houses below.

tpolando said...

i really like the BIG WHEELS KEEP ON TURNING the shape of the trucks and the color of the sky is really cool and bright and it looks like so other weird world.

i really like the pic. international illuminations it looks like a painting and it the colors and proportions of thefireworks and the buildings are really great.

Aug 31- Sept 6:

My favorite picture for this week was The Heavens and Earth. An element that i noticed in this picture is shape. Shape is and elemtent in this picture because there is the shape of the metal world statue and all of the clouds are many different shapes. I enjoyed this picture because it was fun to look at and just very interesting the way the sun was shinging through only part of the clouds and then the other half of the picture was all dark.

Sept 6-13:

My favorite picture for this week was International Illumenations. In this picture the element that I saw was color. The dark black sky to the bright white fireworks was what i found interesting. I also enjoyed this picture because it was so clear and there was a lot of detail in such a small picture.

Rachel Nagy, 2 period, Sept 6-13
My favorite picture is # 8 bfinishing touches.The reflections off of the metal immeadately caught my attention. This picture looks very futuristic and uncommon. Value, texture and color are all very prominent in this photo. Since the metal acts as a mirror the lightness and darkness is drastic and the reflections add to the color and look of the surface.

Aug 31 - Sept 6
Pic: The heavens and the earth
Pictures of clouds are cool. They've got a puffy, cake-like texture, and there are a lot of them. Also, shadows are always interesting with sunsets - which are also nice for taking picures.

Sept 6-13
Pic: International Illuminations
Fireworks may be overdone, but that's because they're cool to look at. Also, explosions are cool.
I like how the buildings near the bottom are discernable.

My favorite photo in this week was the one called "The heavens and the earth". The first thing that captured my attention was the lighting. I also love the color and the way the clouds look behind the rays of sun. My favorite part about the photo though is the way the photographer took it when the sun was setting behind the Earth sculpture so it was like a black silhouette.

Sept. 6-13:
My favorite photo from this week was the "Ray of Remembrance". I love the way the lights shine up in the dark. I also love all of the different deep colors. My favoite was the dark blue of the sky.

Katy Donovan. Period 2. My favorite picture from Aug 31 - September 6 is the 48 is number 1 photo. This is my favorite photo because i really like how the car looks still as the lights look like they are moving in the background.

My favorite photo from the week of september 6 - September 13 is the Ray of remembrance because i like the view from up high looking down low.

August 31st-September 6th

In this group of photos, my favorite one was number 20. I like this photo because of how unique it is and because of how creative it is. I think that the shape of the trucks captured the eye. The design made me instantly want to find out why those trucks were positioned like that and maybe how they were positioned like that.

September 6th-13th

For this week, I like photo number 8 because I like the shape of the device that this scientist is in. Since it is a sphere-like device, and its so large, it made me wantto look around the photo for what it could be trying to point out.

Aug 31-6: I chose the 19th picture from the group titled "The Heavens and the Earth". I like this photo because I think that the different values of the sky creates a really interesting effect because the sun is shining through.
Sep 6-13: I chose the 6th picture from the group titled "Undercover Biking". I liked it because the ground is very dark and then you have the very colorful bikers. You also have the straight lines of the yellow crosswalk.

For this week i chose big wheels keep on turning. i liked this picture because it had a lot of different angles and texture. i love this picture because its so random and anything is possible. Even forming a truck so that its a piece of art.




Sept 6-13.
For this week i chose life lessons.
i liked this because some areas of the picture are darker then others and i love the combination. i love the focus on the one little boy and how the others are blurred a little. it makes me like the picture that much more.

Sept6-13
Rays of Remembrance
The light from the projection of the twin towers, catches my attention, because it somehow illuminates the whole city. The lights also create a shade in color from the top of the sky to the bottom. Also the lines and shape created by the towers. The little lights that are on the buildings they create a cool looking pattern.

Au31st-Spet 6 Left on Green. This image caught my eyes becuse of the pop of color. The bright green with the white lines really stands out. The lines also caught my eye as well. The childrens shape and the outline it makes and also there clothes, all of this provides a nice contrast.

for the week of aug 31-6 i chose the picture of the two planes crashing because the photographer had to been a really good photographer to cath that or really lucky. he or she must have used a very fast shutter speed and panned with the planes.

for the week of sept 6-13 i chose the picture of the international illuminations because it is really neat and the photographer had to use a slow shutter speed because it is dark and then the bright lights.

September6-Spetember13-I like pic 1, Ray of Remebrance. The value of the lights in the sky are intriguing and the shapes of the buildings, the values of all the colors are also eye catching.

Aug. 31-Spet. 6-- My favorite picture was Going for the Burn. I liked the intense contrast between the color of the flame and the dark background.

Sept 6-13-- My favorite photo was Undercover Biking. I liked it because of the lines on the street under the bikers, they crossed to make a diamond shape and it looked cool.

I like the picture entitled International Illumination because it looks like the firework is lighting up the entire villiage. The picture makes it look like that it might be the Chinese New Year, this picture looks like this picture was edited in some sort of progarm for editing pictures like Photoshop.

In the photo weeks from Aug.31-Sept.6 the picture that I liked the best The Heavens and The Earth because of the lighting. I also really like depth of field. This picture is really cool.

In the week of photos from Sept.6- Sept.13 I thought that the best picture was the Community In Need. The best part was the trees that were laying on the ground, they just looked fake and looked like it was a model or diagram. The thing that catches my eye when I look at the picture is the house its white and stands out from all the green.

I like the picture Moment of Impact
because you can actually see the canage of the crash you can see what destructio there was done to the plane. I would not want to see the person that was involved in this crash because it would probably not be a pretty site. That is why I like this photo.
