Photo Safari Result

Project #2: My Photo Safari

   It was a beautiful day today in Eugene, so I meet my dear friend Shelly and we started taking photos of things that are visually appealing to us.  We started out at the mall, then went on a walk by the river and ended our safari at a fabric store.  Here is the result of my Safari:

 

Why I like these photos, left to right and top to bottom:

1. The colors and reflection on the leaves appeal to me.
2. Besides that it is a great read, I like the pattern on the book and colors.
3. Once again the colors and pattern (on the bottom board more then the top), but also because it has a hint of 50's style.
4. The simplicity of the image and because I really like Chinese art.  (I like black, white, and red can you tell?)
5. The text on the sign and colors (the fact that I like their cheddar biscuits helps too)
6. Everyone loves a little sparkle
7. The texture and contrast in this image
8. This pattern just reminds me of old time elegance.

   

So there you have it, my photo safari.  I got the idea from Jasmine Star on creativeLive.  She used the board to help design her logo, website, and branding words.  I am also including this same board with all photos taken with my iphone 4.  Can you tell the difference?

 

Extra Credit

  After watching a Jen Rosenbaum on creativeLive (you've got to check out the workshops on that site, especially if your a photographer) I wanted to try to take photos through lace.   Being at the fabric store gave me the perfect opportunity.  So this is what I got with a 50mm through a black lace.

 

   I hope Shelly doesn't mind!? :)
