I made an HDR picture of my house's old dinner bell because it shows how old my house is and I like the sunset's colors in the background.

·      What are your thoughts on HDR & the visuals they produce? I like HDR because it gives pictures more detail and makes some pictures look fake if you edit it that way.
·      Do your images tell a story or are they just a collection of images? My images tell a story because they are all pictures on or around my property.
     How has your relationship to making images changed in thinking about what you photograph? I like HDR, but I would still rather photograph sports and motion.
·      How did light affect/change your photograph? Light played a big part in my pictures because it gave it a more interesting background.

HDR notes


Sketchbook cover
My quote is "Live the life you love and love the life you live." I chose this because you should always live, love and laugh.
I chose all of the horse pictures because I'm around them almost all the time.
I chose the picture of my dog in the water because it's one of my favorite pictures and shows her personality.
I chose the pictures of the rings because I like taking pictures of rings.
6.20.15 is also the day that my sister and her fiance are getting married.
I'm usually known because of riding and having horses.
I really like the finished piece because the left half is somewhat organized while the other half isn't (like my life basically).

HDR examples

Personal list
1. My barn - I spend the majority of my time in my barn with my horses.
2. Pond - I have a lot of memories at our pond, such as fishing and canoeing.
3. Mountains - My house is at the bottom of the mountains, and they have always been a great feature of our property.
4. Mountainview barn - The MV barn is where I started riding 5 years ago.
5. Swing - I have a lot of memories on our swings with my siblings from when we were younger.
6. Road - I like the fact that our property is isolated from basically everything and the roads have leading lines straight to the mountains.
7. Field - Our field has a lot of good and bad memories from awhile ago and from recently.

Summer Project

This is my favorite picture from this summer because it shows a lot of my dog's personality. It's also very detailed in such a simple picture. It shows how she is aging (the grey on her nose), yet she is still living life to the fullest.
