My Very Best Pictures Through The Whole Year.

Kevin Irby Report

This picture was hard to copy. With all of the shadows and dark spots in the picture, I was hard. I re did it because the picture that I edited before did not look to good. This one looks some what better. The shadows were very hard to copy but I think it turned out kind of good.

Giants and Ants.

This is my hard select photo. There is a mailbox with 3 of me on it and then in the background I am also hanging from a tree. Hope you like it!

Re-Post Edit

 The top picture is the original picture. What could be changed in this picture? Well, I would like the snow to actually look white and I would like Cooper to have more color to his fur.

 This is the edited picture. I love this picture! With a little help from my teacher, this picture turned out very well. What we did to fix this picture was we feathered the picture. If you look closely you can see that the snow around the edge of the picture is darker then the actual snow around Cooper. That is because we feathered it. He also has more darker colors to his fur which is a good thing. I love this picture.

 This is the original picture. What could be changed in this picture is the fact the the shoe is kind of dirty and there is dark spots on it. I liked this picture but I figured it needed some work.

 This is the edited picture. As you can see, the shoe is not dirty anymore. That is because I cloned the clean parts of the shoe and made it look more clean the usual. I also boosted up some of the contrast, which makes the shoe look darker. I like how the stars are a little hidden in the edited picture but in the original picture, the stars are right there. I like that difference.

 This is the original picture. I really did not like this picture in the beginning. I never used it for anything. I thought it was a bad picture. So, I figured I would give it a shot editing it.

This is the edited picture. I like it a lot more than the original picture. I just looks so much nicer and better. I boosted up the contrast and cropped some of the picture out that was not necessary for the picture and that turned out much better also. I finally like this picture! I believe it turned out very nice and neat!

One More Centered Composition

This is my road. This picture is appealing to my eye in the way that the snow sits on the trees and the way the car tracks on the road are going off into the distance just like the road is.

Centered Composition

 The snow is finally here! The assignment for this weekend was to shoot pictures that were centered composition. This means that the object that you are shooting has to be in the middle of the screen. This is my dog Cooper. I like this picture in color but to me it looked better in black and white. The snow looks very white and it almost makes you wonder what he is looking at. This picture turned out very well in my opinion.

This is a picture if Cooper's paw print in the snow. This picture was also in color and the snow looked blue. I turned it into black and white and it looked so much better! These are my centered composition pictures. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Centered Composition

This is an example of Centered Composition.

Best Of...

 This picture is my most favorite picture out of all of the pictures that I have taken and trust me, there is a lot! What I like about this picture is that you can see the geese flying through the sky and all of the different colors in the sky are appealing to the eye. I love this picture and I hope you do too!

 This picture to me is mysterious. The original picture was in color and the reflection of the trees in the water were upside down. I then flipped the trees to be right side up and made the picture black and white. To me, it looks better this way (in black and white) and not in color.

This picture is amazing to me. The way the water looks and the way the color of the leaves stick out and pop out of the water. If you look closely, you can also see the speckles on the rocks that are in the water. This picture took me a long time to edit with a little help from my teacher, it turned out very very well.

These are my Best Of pictures!

Texture

 This is my texture project. Both of these were taken Thanksgiving Day. The top picture is cranberry salad and the bottom picture is the cherry pie my mom made. I like these pictures because in the cranberry salad you can really see the cranberries and the marshmallows that are in the salad. I also like the picture of the cherry pie as if you look closely, you can see the sugar on top of the pie. Enjoy!

Just A Typical Day

The project this time was to take pictures of what you do on a typical day. This is me getting ready for school Monday morning. The pictures are me laying in bed, doing my hair, putting on my make-up, eating sliced pineapple for breakfast and brushing my teeth. I had a lot of fun with this project. It is unique and unusual but I liked it. I like it is cool to see what my classmates are going to post and to see what they do in the morning and throughout the day. Hope you like it!

ABC's

This is my ABC's report. We were assigned to take pictures of the ABC's but they could not be the real letter. They had to be something that looked like the letters but wasn't actually the letter. This project was hard, and confusing. But overall, I liked a good challenge. Some of the letters were very hard to find. I searched and searched for the letter Y and the letter A. I think that they were the most complicated letters to find. But after I took the picture of the letter A, I loved it! If you cannot tell, it is a swing set. And I think the funniest picture is the O. It is a roll of toilet paper! I think that the letter J is a very unique one as it is the Nike symbol from my tennis shoes. Cool right! Well these are my ABC's, Hallie Style!

CD Project

Back Cover

 This is my CD project. The top picture is the back of the CD. The name of my artist is Scotty Cozy and he also plays the best classical music on a piano. I really enjoyed doing this project but it was also kind of nerve racking and it took a lot of time. I think that coming up with the song titles was the hardest because you just had to think of random song titles. It may seem easy but it really was not that easy.

Front Cover

 This picture is the front of the CD cover. This is my favorite  one out of the 3 sides and think it turned out really well. As I was taking the pictures, it was hard to make them look like they do. I adjusted the contrast to make the keys stick out a little more and there was also kind of a brownish tint to them so I also made them black and white. This on turned out very well in my opinion and it is my favorite.

Inside Cover

This is the inside cover. The inside cover I just wanted to make simply and easy. I just pasted two pictures onto a blank document and called it good. But I also did turn up the contrast and made it black and white as this picture had a brownish tint to it. The project took me almost a week to complete but I believe that it was worth it. I very much did enjoy this project and I hope you enjoy looking at them!

One More Random.

This picture was originally in color and it did not look to well. I liked the picture overall but the color didn't fit the picture. With all the colors from the trees and the grass and sky, it was to busy. So I thought to myself, "What if the picture was in black and white?" So I tried it and what do you know, I like it much much better in black and white. The last thing I did to the picture was turned the contrast up so the grass, tress, and sky you be darker so only the fuzzy grass would stick out. This picture turned out very well.

Random.

Yum! These are some fresh homemade cookies that my mom and I made a couple weekends ago. They are snickerdoodles. They are also my favorite kind of cookie. What I like about this picture is that you can really see the cinnamon and sugar on the cookies. All in all, this picture turned out better then I thought it was going to turn out.

Helen Sotiriadis Report

This top picture is the picture I took to match a picture that Helen Sotiriadis took. The picture Sotiriadis took will  not show up in picture form on m blog so I have the URL for the picture posted below. I tried my best to copy the best I could and I think I did pretty good, getting the same colored M&M's in the picture and all that good stuff. Enjoy!

One More Light and Shadow

This is a picture that was taken on a rainy day and the picture, I think, turned out to be very nice. If you can't tell what it is, it is a picture of the shadows of trees on the water. They are up side down so yes, it is kind of hard to tell but it did turn out nice. I like this picture as it is cool and interesting how the trees reflection or shadows are on the deck on the water.

Light and Shadow

This is my light and shadow picture. This is a picture of my hand on one of our chairs at home. The chair is  suppose to be blue but it didn't look to well so I changed it to black and white to see if I would like it better, and what do you know, I do like it better. This is not natural light from a window, it is a lamp that is next to a chair as the day I was taking pictures, it was raining and cold outside so there was no natural light. Overall, this picture turned out better then I thought it would.

Multi View Picture

This is my multi view picture or pictures. There is a background and if you look closely you will be able to see it. The background has 4 pictures on top if it, all in different colors. I would have used the background picture for one of the pictures in top, but it turned out kind of blurry so I thought that wouldn't really work out to well. I think that this picture turned out very well. I also think that the colors of the pictures go together very well and that makes the picture look better then it would in just black.

Replace a Sky

This is my replace a sky. The picture was taken of me golfing at sectionals in Wisconsin Dells. The sky that was in it was just white and it looked weird. So one morning I went out to my yard and got a picture of a cool looking sky and then put it in place for the other one.

"The Change Of Seasons"

When I saw my address plate with the grass in front of it, I knew that I had to take a picture of it. What I would change about this picture is that I would have liked for there to be a blue sky in it somewhere. But I also like it how it is. 

 What an awesome picture! The sky was not as blue before so I made it more blue to see what would happen, to see if I would like it better, and what do you know...I did like it better. Just the fact that the branch has lost all of its needles is pretty neat but the branches above it have not lost its needles yet, so that is what I like about it.

 On this picture, I wish that the rock was not on the leaf but the wind was so strong that day that the leaf would not stay on the ground by itself. So if I wanted the picture I had no choice but to put the leaf on top of it. But over all, it turned out very well.

This is a died tree in the woods in front of my house. This picture was originally in color but my teacher told me to see what would happen if it was in black and white. I think I like it better in black and white.

One More

Here is one more from our field trip on Wednesday. The purple tint in the back is what I like about the picture the best. When I look at it, I just feel relaxed and calm.

Favorite Field Trip Picture

This picture is a picture of the trees reflecting off of the water. It turned out very neat and just happens to be my favorite.

Field Trip

We went to a local forest just outside of town. We spent about an hour there and we just took pictures. I think that this one turned out very nice.

Leading Lines

Diagonial Lines

This is one of out patio tables on our front deck. I looked at it and thought "What a good diagonial line picture."

Curved Lines

This is my composition picture of curved lines. This is the slide in my back yard on the play house.

Animal Morph

:)

Barn and Sunset

This is a barn near my house. I was on my way to town with my mom and I made her stop the car so I could take a picture of the sunset.

Sunrise

On my way to Marshfield early Friday morning and took some pictures along the way.

Sunset

My mom took me to the Highground to take some pictures of the sunset. There are even geese in the picture.

"September Best Of"

 All of there pictures are my favorites as they turned out very well and just the lighting and placements of the objects are very well out. I like how the lighting in the picture of the peppers turned out. On one side, it is light and on the other side it is dark.

 The picture with the apple is a very neat picture to me as it is the only red thing in the photo which makes it even better. I think this picture could have been better if the leaves were black and white and just the apple was the only colored object in the picture.

 Cooper. He likes to play on the hay bails especially when my younger brother and sister are up there with him. He kinda goes crazy then. He usually poses very well for pictures.

This picture is probably me most favorite picture that I have taken. The way the grass is in the way of the   ball is really neat to me and the way the ball is positioned in the grass is very appealing.

Purple and Fun
