Unusual Perspective 2

When taking this picture I could smell the flowers distinct scent. I could see the green coming from the stem. This photo captures the pure whiteness and the different traits of the flower. I wanted to get close up enough so you could see all of the details that you can't see if you're just looking at it from afar. This perspective of the flower illustrates the "noodle like" parts that make the flower fully bloomed.  

Unusual Perspective 1

This picture captures what my cat loves most. Every time he comes in from the outdoors he goes right to the fire. He will just wait and sit there until we see him and turn the fire on. This is where you will most likely find him. When taking this picture I wanted to take it having a different view of how they go together.  

Composition

This photo represents leading lines. I wanted to get close to capture the colors, but to also put it at an angle. The lines all lead to one point close to the top right corner. Before taking it I didn't know which angle to view it at. All of the mixed colors are what stand out to me the most.

Shapes, Organic and Geometric

Before taking this picture I was thinking about how I could capture the four shapes in the door. When taking it I wanted to have an angle where people could view it from a different perspective. I pretty much put the camera on the floor and took the picture kind of tilted up, but still enough to see the sunlight reflecting on the floor. Another thing to notice is the walls. There are windows that you can't really see, but still add light and shadows.  

Motivation

I enjoy photographing nature shots such as the sunset or just more outdoor shots. I also like to take pictures of times where I want to remember what was happening. When I go to some sort of sporting event I like to take pictures of the players. I go to a lot of games in Portland and it’s fun to get good action shots. 

The end product of all of my photos together is what motivates me most. Seeing all of the pictures that I have taken and looking back on the memories. Also being able to share them with others. I would like to know how to take pictures from different angles. I also want to learn how to make the pictures more artsy.
