The Fountain

From Panopticon

From Panopticon

These photos are the results of the second project and experimentation with shutter speed. The first picture, the one with a lot of detail, was shot at 1/4000 for the shutter speed, allowing me to capture a freeze frame of the water and the droplets.

The second picture is almost exactly the same composition, but with a shutter speed of 1/20. This allowed me to capture the water as it blurred together. It was in constant motion, but nothing else was.

The Hall

This is the self-portrait that got the best response in class. I had another personal favorite, but I do like the composition and tone of this one.

Mechanical Abstraction

From Panopticon

I like this image because of its mechanical abstraction. It's easily identifiable, but it's very abstract in nature. The slight radial symmetry also intrigues me. It keeps the eye moving around the photo.

Photography interests me, specifically capturing something that may never be that way again, and saving it for other to see any enjoy or marvel over.
