Street Photography "Confused Couple"

While looking around for pictures of people to take, I found this couple walking my way.  I was practicing "street photography".  My goal was to remain unseen or unnoticed but as this picture shows, I failed.  I love the looks on the couples faces as they walk closer.

Mosaic Piano

This is a mosaic.  To create this I stood in one spot and took multiple photos of this piano.  I varied the distance and size by using the camera's "zoom" feature.  I took the photos and changed the tints, to give it color.

Crossing Railings

This is the railing leading to the football stands at my high school.  When I stood and looked at it I loved how the railings crossed each other giving a very complex look.  I tried to use the bars on the railings to create a line or path for the eye to follow.

lost water-bottle

While searching around my school for interesting photos, I came across this water-bottle lying on the floor.  To bring more attention to it i used the railings to make lines that lead to it.  I also divided the picture plane into thirds and fit the water-bottle in the bottom right corner.  I thought the water-bottle itself was beautiful, the way the sun reflected off it and wondered why someone would leave it.

This is a photo of trash cans outside of my school.  I chose to photograph them, because of the way humans would interpret the trash cans.  When you first looked at the photo, what was the first thing you noticed?  Most people would say the black trash can.  This is because we are so used to the norm and the uniqueness of the trash can attracts our eye.

Thirds-clarinet case

These photos are of one of my clarinet cases.  I had the hinge open to show that someone could have been there recently.  I made the hinge in the top right corner to follow the rule of thirds.

These are self portraits.  I went into a dark room with my camera and a garage light.  I positioned the light so that it would him my face and make the background dark.  The smudge on the right side of my head is actually my finger about to poke the camera.
