Fall

I love this time of year because of the beautiful colors.  Here is a shot I took in China Grove, NC.

Chocolate vs. Fruit

In my bio-comm object lighting class we had to photograph chocolate and have it portray being healthy.  I decided to shoot chocolate vs. fruit on a scale, showing that chocolate is better for you.  I wanted the concept to be very clean and simple.  This is the shot I decided to go with.  Let me know what you think.

A Day at the Vineyard

Each week in my bio-comm photojournalism class I had to shoot a 3 picture package and build a layout using Indesign.  I went to Rocky River Vineyards in Midland, NC to shoot this layout and was pleased with the images I shot.

Panoramic

For my digital imaging class, we had to shoot a 180 degree panoramic.  I went to Pfeiffer University in Richfield, NC because I knew the leaves would look very nice in the reflection of the water.

Fuji

I recently got a new puppy, Fuji, who of course had to have a name related to photography.  While I was at a park shooting my panoramic shot for my digital imaging class I let Fuji run around, and here is a shot I got while she was being still for a few seconds.

Water Assignment

In my bio-comm object lighting class we had to shoot an assignment with water.  I tried several different setups and objects, but ending up going with an apple, a colorful plate, and a kitchen faucet.  Thanks to Drew for being patient with me for 2 hours, while I was trying to get the perfect shot.  Here is my favorite from the session.

I also used some filters in photoshop and came up with this alternate image.

Here is a different crop of the above image.  Which do you like best?
