Photos of History

Cape Disappointment

Date: 8/1/10 Time: 2:10 p.m. Location: Cape Disappointment, WA F-stop: f/10 Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Black and White Filter

While waiting for my parents outside the lighthouse I wanted to get a good shot illustrating the beauty of the lighthouse. I made sure to offset the composition of the lighthouse using the rule of 3rds. I love how the camera was able to capture the detail of the rustic worn look of the lighthouse and I added and adjusted a black and white filter to bring that out even more.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Date: 7/31/10 Time: 10:37 a.m. Location: Beaverton, Oregon F-stop: f/5 Shutter Speed: 1/80 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Color enhanced

This photo was taken at a farmers market in Beaverton Oregon. There was such gorgeous produce there and I love the contrast between the red and yellow peppers. The different shapes and sizes also add texture.

Over the Edge

Date: 7/30/10 Time: 4:34 p.m. Location: Multnomah Falls, Oregon F-stop: f/4 Shutter Speed: 1/40 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Fresco filter

I am not someone who is comfortable with heights... so I literally felt sick taking this picture. While up at Multnomah Falls in Oregon I braved taking a shot over the edge of the bridge half way up the falls. I added a photo filter to give it a more vibrant feel.

6 Years

Date: 7/1/10 Time: 9:34 a.m. Location: Ephrata, WA F-stop: f/5.6 Shutter Speed: 1/80 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Enhanced coloring

This photo was taken out at an old barn just outside of Ephrata, Washington. My sister was having me take their family pictures for them and this was one of my favorites. I was able to remove a cold sore from Jason's face and enhanced the color in the picture.

Lost in Snow Canyon

Date: 5/30/10 Time: 6:43 p.m. Location: Snow Canyon, Utah F-stop: f/6.3 Shutter Speed: 1/80 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Saturation

I was able to take this picture while hiking up in Snow Canyon in southern Utah. I love this shot and the lighting was perfect that evening for taking pictures. I used the rule of 3rds while taking this picture and offset Tayler to the side to show the immensity of the canyon.

London

Date: 5/29/10 Time: 7:28 p.m. Location: St. George, Utah F-stop: f/4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/400 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Contrast increased

London is one of my favorite kids to take picture of. She always has great expressions on her face. I placed the flower on her ear hoping to get one with her smiling. But this is what I got. There wasn't much editing done in this picture. I slightly increased the contrast.

The Watering Hole

Date: 5/28/10 Time: 11:54 a.m. Location: St. George, Utah F-stop: f/10 Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec. Camera: Cannon Rebel T2i Editing: Black and White Filter

We had a run in with a very difficult drinking fountain while playing in the park. Tayler, my 3 year old niece was determined to do it by herself but she ended up getting a good shot of water in the face. The shutter speed on this camera is amazing and I just love how it was able to catch the water in mid air.
