Through the windows...
I also took these images at camp pedleton. I played around with them a little bit with photoshop. I wanted certain object to be really saturated with colors, to make it stand out like the red frame of the window outside.
The strive for clarity
Trip to Camp Pedleton
"You have to be able to see the eyes," said Professor Small as we were laying down on our stomach to get a good shot of this lady bug. Clarity, details, I kept on thinking. One shot is not clear, second shot the bug is facing the other way, third shot is clear, but the eyes are not showing. Twenty shots later, my concentration is still, not even knowing the time was ticking. Forget about the time, I have a goal in mind...to get a good shot of this lady bug. My clothes are getting dirty, somehow it's not bothering me. This time all my shots are in raw, and I hope my images will be better. I don't want my images to be pixelated, I want good quality images. I want the saturation to be good, the images to be as focused as it could be, and the white balance to be right. Wow it's time to go already, time seemed to just passed away.

John Szarkowski
Online artist 2
Date viewed: March 16, 2008
As I'm sitting here waiting for my hardware to be formatted, I decided to check out some photographers online. I came across this photographer, and the image above especially attracted me. As I start to become more into seeing photographs and also capturing images...I am becoming more aware of how I present the space within the bondaries of this rectangular shape. Sometimes when I am taking a picture I think about how well I can represent the image or the lanscape infront me. I like this picture because it gives you a sense of eternal space.

Rebecca Siminou
online artist 1
Date viewed: March 14, 2008
I have been really interested lately with the use of digital camera to capture images. I came across this artist once on Prof. Small's other class. I have seen here work on the ordover gallery at Balboa Park. I found her online site and started looking at the images. Besides nature, I am also interested in photographing people. I have started to photograph my daughter myself instead of going to those places such as picture people. Nothing wrong about going to those stores, but I feel photographing my daughter myself makes the picture more personal. Plus it gives me something to do anyway, and allows me to explore my creativity more.
One thing I like about Siminou's pictures was the use of foreground object. I like how she does the opposite, instead of making the closer object clearer the background becomes the focal point of the picture. There was one where, she had a water fountain as her foreground, then the two couples were on the background hugging. Eventhough the fountain was sharper, it was still clear that the two blurry images of a couple hugging were the main subject of the photograph. I want to create something like this, maybe with using my daughter as the subject, and I could also do this in some of my landscape pictures.

Del Dios Highway
On Saturday, I dragged my husband and my daughter with me to check out the flowers on Del Dios Highway. I have been hearing a lot about the wildflowers that are scattered on the mountains. Last time I tried looking for them I could not find them. This time we took the 5 South and exited Villa de la Valle exit. We headed east and turned right on the T road at the end. It was actually much easier finding them going this way because from a distance we could already see them. When we got there, there were other photographers taking shots of this amazing event. I never seen so many wildflowers in one location. Yellow, orange, puprple, and green...a burst of colors.
