Fences.

 I liked the way this fence looked because of the snow covering it.
Shutter Speed: 1/100, Aperture: f/8.0, ISO: 1600, Focal Length: 36 mm, Flash: None
   This is a side look of an old fence that is jumbled up behind an old build in Neillsville. I liked the new perspective.
Shutter Speed: 1/60, Aperture: f/5.0, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 18 mm, Flash: None
    A different kind of fence in this case, a barbwire fence. I liked the sky in the background and thought it casted a nice shadow.
Shutter Speed: 1/200, Aperture: f/11.0, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 48 mm, Flash: None
   Behind this cluttered mess is an old rusty fence that I liked.
Shutter Speed: 1/60, Aperture: f/5.6, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 23 mm, Flash: None

Urban Decay.

   In our city there is a building that is my favorite to take pictures of. Around every corner is a new look to the exterior. I think this picture has a lot going on which I love. I took it at an extreme angle to add effect.
Shutter Speed: 1/200, Aperture: f/9.0, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 18 mm, Flash: None

    I love boarded up windows and I think that they fit into the description of "urban decay". I like the different textures in this between the boards, brick and the different colors.
Shutter Speed: 1/200, Aperture: f/10.0, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 18 mm, Flash: None
    When you are standing under this building, it is hard to see that there is old lettering on the side of the building such as this. I love this rustic look of this building and between the building falling apart, a missing window and the other ones boarded up, there is a lot of character.
Shutter Speed: 1/250, Aperture: f/10.0, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 18 mm, Flash: None
    I took this picture because I liked the way the vines were taking over the side of the building. The fact that there is rust around the window gives the picture a better look.
Shutter Speed: 1/100, Aperture: f/7.1, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 27 mm, Flash: None
   I love this picture because of the way the paint is chipping off. I boosted and faded the colors a little in the picture so it would have a more dirty look to it but the yellow wouldn't be too bright.
Shutter Speed: 1/160, Aperture: f/8.0, ISO: 200, Focal Length: 18 mm, Flash: None

The Grid.

 For most of the boxes I just adjusted the hue and saturation but also used things like emboss or just burred the box.

Portraits.

   In this portrait, is a member of The Guilty Wanted. I saw them in concert this weekend and after meeting him I found out he has a very soulful and bubbly personality. I think this portrait portrays his personality very well.
Aperture: f/5.6, ISO: 400, Focal Length: 50 mm, Flash: Yes
   I took this self portrait with using my favorite things. I love cold weather because I get to wear my warm vests. Another thing that is part of my personality is that I love doing my makeup and hair. In this instance, I got to beatify my self in order to take this!

Day in the Life of.

The first thing I do every morning is put my makeup on. Next I choose the outfit I will wear and then everyday before leaving the house I brush my teeth. After I am ready, I drive 20 minutes into town for school which is the picture of the locker. After school I usually have to stay in town for some reason so to waste time I will study at the library. After a long day I will fall asleep in my comfy bed!

Best Of December and January.

 Best of Family Portraits.
   I think this is the best family portrait picture because I love the colors in it and the uniqueness of the angle and position of everyone. 
Aperture: f/3.5, Focal Length: 23 mm, ISO: 400, Flash: Yes
 Best of Lights.
   I love this picture because it isn't your normal picture. In most cases you want to have to camera focused when taking a picture but in this case, having it burry worked better.
Shutter Speed: 1/6, Aperture: f/5.6, ISO: 1600, Focal Length: 55 mm, Flash: None

 Best of Band Pictures.
   Last weekend I went to the Districts Youth Conference and The Guilty Wanted performed. I love this picture of the guitarist and I think the lighting was perfect.
Aperture: f/5.6, ISO: 400, Focal Length: 50 mm, Flash: Yes
Best of Baby Pictures.
   This is probably my favorite picture of the baby because it is so peaceful and the textures are great.
Aperture: f/3.5, ISO: 1600, Focal Length: 18 mm, Flash: None

Christmas Time.

   What's Christmas without a cup of "The World's Best Cup of Holiday Cheer" from the Dunn and Bro's coffee shop? It is always tradition for me and my brother to go out and have a morning coffee date just the two of us. This is part of my Christmas.
Shutter Speed: 1/15, Aperture: 1/4.5, Focal Length: 33 mm, ISO: 800, Flash: None
    I took this picture during my visit to St. Paul for the holidays. I loved the way the street was lit up and the lights in the trees are dangling into the picture that was meant to capture the beauty of the castle in the distance.
Shutter Speed:1/50, Aperture: 1/4.5, ISO: 1600, Focal Length: 18 mm, Flash: None
   Growing up this was always one of my favorite ornaments. The bottom is glass so when it's in front of a pretty light it will shine what ever color that happens to be.
Shutter Speed: 1/4, Aperture:f/5.6,  ISO: 1600, Focal Length: 55 mm, Flash:None
    This display sits outside my house every year through the holidays. The bright lights light up the entire front yard to a peaceful setting. The mechanical dear move back and forth and the colorful presents give it a little "flare".
Shutter Speed: 1/50, Aperture: 1/5.0, ISO: 1600, Focal Length: 25 mm, Flash: None
   The assignment was to take pictures of the holidays or lights, I think this picture does both. I switched the focus on my camera from auto to manuel  so it wouldn't focus on the lights but the color of them instead.
