Granddad/Summative

 These are photos I took at my Grandfather's funeral.  The theme I chose for my summative was death.  I hope that these photos convey the theme and I believe they do.  I chose the top as my best because it is a picture of my Grandfather's plate, the Egyptian desert is the background (where he was stationed during the war).  I wanted to capture a bit of his life while still revolving around the theme.  I used a variety of techniques including symmetry, and selective focus.  I really like these pictures and will keep them forever.  My Grandfather was an amazing man quick to put his family above himself, we love him very much and I am so happy that my family will be able to enjoy the photos I created.  Thanks for reading.

Nature

This is the May theme, I took a series of nature photos the majority of which I took using the Macro setting on the camera.  I believe this is my best contact sheet I have done thus far in the semester.  I am extremely satisfied with every photo and believe they show creative aspects of my photo taking.  For my best picture I chose one of a caterpillars nest I found close to my house.  After messing around a bit I found a really cool angle where the nest looks almost like a tree.  You can clearly see caterpillars walking on and it is a perfect shot for this months theme.
