Terry Fox Run 2015
This image is of my friends before they go down a slide. I choose this picture because the picture is bright and in focus. The girls' shirts match the slide but their shirts don't blend in which makes it feel like they belong in this picture even more. I also chose this picture because the blue really attracts your attention because the blue is bright.
The picture above is of Raine Wheeler at the Terry Fox Run where he got drenched in water. I chose this image because I used a tight crop which makes the picture focus more on Raine then the background. I also chose this image because the sunlight is reflecting off the water which makes the water visible on Raine's hair and face. The picture is also in focus so you can see the drops of water on his forehead and the water spots on his shirt.
I chose this image because this picture is in focus and the pictures focuses on the subject my friend Archie. This image is also taken from a low angle giving the subject more power. I like how the colours blend. I chose this image for the Terry Fox Run since it symbolizes friendship and happiness from the colours potrayed in this picture. I specifically chose this picture because the colours are bright and vibrant making the picture feel more happy. This symbolizes that the Terry Fox Run is not simply a walk but is happiness and fun.
Grade 9 Day 2015
This picture is of my friends Vlad (left) and Dylan (right). I chose this picture because it symbolizes grade 9 day because this picture shows friendship. I specifically chose this picture because the main subject of the pictures are in focus and the crowd in the back is out of focus. I like how the background is chaotic but it is frozen in time and the subjects seem to be unaware of the background making time seem to be frozen. I also chose this picture because the two subject in the picture are so different. Such as the person on the left is emotionless and has a white shirt on while the guy on the right is smiling and is wearing a dark shirt.
This picture is of a girl throwing an egg in the egg toss game. I chose this picture because the egg is in mid air when she threw it. You can see the egg frozen in time. I used a crop to cut out some peope so it makes it seem that the egg still has a long way to go before it lands. The crop also makes it feel like the picture is more focused on her and the egg being thrown.

In this picture I used a shallow depth of field. The grass is in focus and the people playing football in the background is not in focus. The background is not in focus which makes it seem like a memory because the grass is in focus and the action in the background seems so far away like a memory.

Point Pelee
This image was taken at Point Pelee at one of the paths. I chose this image because the sunlight is clearly shown in this image making the picture feel brighter and more happy. It makes it seem as the light is shining in and lighting up the dark forest. I like this picture because the path stretches out further ahead which makes it seem like there is still a long way to go and that there is a journey ahead. I like this picture since everything is in focus which brings out the fulliness of the picture along with the streaks of the sunlight.
This picture is of Raine at Point Peele staring off in the distance at the marsh. I chose this picture because this picture portrayed strong emotions of Raine. Raine is staring off in the distance suggesting that he has something on his mind. He stares at the vast wildlife of the marsh. This picture has various amounts of lights and darks portraying the emotions more strongly. This picture is suggesting that Raine has a lot on his mind and is getting away from all of it by staring off in the distance. This picture also conveys the themes of peaceful and magestic.
This image is of Raine, Kyle, and Troy walking on the boardwalk. I choose this picture because the image was taken from a low angle which brings a feeling to the picture that a eye level image would not create. This image taken from a low angle focuses more on their feet when they are walking away making it feel like they have a long way to travel. The three of them lining up also makes them all close friends walking off into the distance together.
Autumn
This image was taken in America on an island where my cousins live. The trees are starting to change colour and fall off. I like this picture because it has an assortment of different trees that are starting to change colours. I also like this image because I was able to capture the sun's light in the upper right corner. Most things in this picture is in focused because all the trees are important in this picture because it is fall and all of these trees are changing colour and losing their leaves.
This is a picture of a tree taken from a low angle. I was looking up when I was taking this picture. I like this picture because it was taking from a worm's eye view. It shows how big and tall the tree really is because it was taking from a worm's eye view. I also like this picture because the tree seems to be stretching up and curving up into the sky. The lines of this picture really brings you up higher in the tree. Your eyes would start at the tree trunk and you would follow the lines all the way up and stretch off to the differet branches and leaves or vice versa.
This image is of two trees and one has sunlight coming through. I like this image because the crack in the tree lets in the sun directly which makes it look really nice. You can also see the glare from the sun too and the red circle. This makes the focal point of this picture appear in the top of the tree. I like this picture becaus eit brings your attention to the light and the trees. I also like this picture because on the right I was able to capture a picture of a squirrel in the tree that is starting to change colour and lose it's leaves.
Hands
This is a picture of Archie's hands reaching for the next ring. This picture was taken at the playground. I like this picture because the hands are reaching for the next ring. I also like this image because the image is bright and colourful. Furthermore the picture portrays an happy emotion due to the bright colours. I brought up the whites and made it brighter. In conclusion these are the reasons why I like this image.
This image is of my friend Josh clutching his hand in the sun. I like this picture specificallly because I like how the sunlight seeps through the gaps of his fingers. In addition the hand and the person is dark which really brings out the lights of the sun. I like the darks and the whites how it brings out the hands because the background is lighter. I also made the blacks darker. Therefore these are the reasons why I like this picture.
I like this image because I like it how Archie is reaching for the clouds. The hand is black which makes it stand out due to the background being a lighter colour. I like how I was able to capture the streak in the cloud so it seems like he is reaching for it. I like this image because the person is reaching for something that is so far away but seems so close.
Circles and Round Things
This is a picture of candy in 4 jars. I decided to choose this picture because the lids of the jars are round and the jar itself is also round. I used photoshop to remove some of the white spots on the lids. I also used Lightroom to adjust the lighting in this picture.
This is a picture of a clock with roman numerals. I decided to choose this image because it has a circle within a circle. The centre of the clock is also round too. I like this picture because the clock has so many circles within in it. I used Lightroom to adjust the shadows, whites, and blacks on this image.
This image is of 3 glasses increasing in size and proportions. I like this image because I like how the glasses increase in size from small to big and not only that there is also more water in each of the glasses as the glasses get bigger. I had to use Lightroom to adjust the lighting. The glasses are circular and you can see the circular top of the glass through each of the glasses since the glasses are clear.
HALLOWEEN
This is a picture of a skull. I took this picture at the perfect time when the lights in the background flashed to make the skull look green and spooky. I made the image darker in Lightroom by adjusting the blacks and the shadows. I like how I was able to make the skull glow green in the dark.
This is a picture of a blow up of a haunted house. The image was brighter but I used Lightroom and Photoshop to adjust the lighting. In photoshop I adjusted the curves to make the image darker and in Lightroom I just adjusted the shadows to make the image darker. I like this image because the background is dark and I like it how the light from the haunted house illuminates a little.
