if only life could be edited.

We’re finally allowed to start editing some of our pictures and are practicing on Lightroom. Here’s a few examples of some I messed around with the very first time. Remember – I’m merely a beginner.

Mi casa!

We have a very musical house. There’s constantly someone singing, practicing, or playing. I swear my life is turning into a music. I can’t decide if it’s an indie or opera film, however…

This is Kaylee, one of my roommates & a fellow Chi O sista. Sorry fellas…she’s engaged.

A playground near my house. It’s a good thing there weren’t any children there or it may have looked pretty shady that I was taking pictures at a playground by myself.

Arc Hall.

Now that I’m in Chi Omega, I see owls everywhere. This one’s inside arc hall.

I love this statue inside arc hall.

all my friends are asian.

This photo shoot was supposed to make a statement about who the subject is. Either their pose, the background, what they were wearing, or a combination was supposed to tell you something about who the person is or what they do.

Meet Janny. An incredible violinist!

Janny. I like your face.

Now, meet Tim. Beware: things are about to get a little saucy.

The laughing ones are some of my favorites, although it doesn’t really fit the tone of the photo shoot. Serious faces are hard. Right, Janny?

You two are great models. Thanks for helping me out!

texturific.

During class, we were given a few minutes to get pictures of things with different “textures.”  I didn’t have too many, but here’s a few of the shots:

game time.

We were told to take some pictures of an event, so I took my camera to a Husker game and these are some of my shots:

Oh, Kels.

My first time ever being under the banner in East. Finally!

Touchdown!

This is Kelsey’s “hardcore” face.

Little Red!

It may suck sometimes to stand the entire game, but the student section is still a lot of fun:)

one good joo.

So I didn’t end up actually using any of those photos from my last post for my class. The assignment was to get a picture of someone in three different light settings. I used the sillhouette picture, one of the pictures from my last post, and the last picture on this one. Here are some of my favorites from the shoot, though:

My model for this project: Janny Joo.

Sillhouette.

This is her “confused” look. Haha.

Isn’t my friend beautiful? :)

muffin love story.

 

This is a muffin love story.

Janny and Muffin were oh so happy together.

They basked in the sun together while pondering the deeper meanings of life.

They sat on each others’ laps.

They thoroughly enjoyed just being…together.

One day, however, Janny and Muffin decided to take a little break. Janny was considering eating fewer muffins and quite possibly spending more time in the donut shop down the street.

But very soon, Janny realized the horrible mistake she had made and deeply regretted her decision.

She missed Muffin terribly and begged his forgiveness.

After much contemplation, Muffin decided that he would take Janny back.

They had a delicious meal…

…together.

The End.

unathletic athleticism.

For my last photography assignment, we had to mess with shutter speed and aperture to see how the same shot would change in different settings. Here are just a few of the results:

This one was actually just an ISO test shot.

This is a really low shutter speed.

I made Kelsey run back and forth across the tennis court, well, multiple times. She was a great sport about it! This is her “intense” look.
