Week 3 - Macro

Hey dad, i miss you so...where did u go? It seems like forever sense you've been gone!

So this is in the center of my macro collage. I'm not sure if i did that all right but i tried. I couldn't really think of anything that i wanted to take pictures of. I mean i tried different things but would prefer to save my nature pics and such for later dates. I went around my bedroom looking at stuff that to me told a story. This picture is of a picture in a frame that i got right after he passed. The little cube with the rose in it is actually from my mom but i have it in front of my dads pic. The stone is one of those healing stones(i have many of those). I can't really say either as to why i picked this one. It just stood out. I love the set up i have with the frame and the cube and stone. I'm really good when it comes to being creative with the placement of things.

I don't Know what it was about this picture that caught my eye. I think it's just so pretty from that angle. I love how the shadow is being cast off the ceiling. This is one of the 2 fake black and purple roses that I get every year now sense my dad has been gone. It's become a tradition that I made for him that on his anniversary every year I make it a point to get one. It's in October too so it's not hard to find a rose like that with halloween at the end of the month.

My Macro Collage

My bedroom has lots of beautiful little trinkets and such. Thought it would be perfect for this.

The meaning behind this is that of a sentimental value. I lost my dad in 2006 and most of the things in this collage remind me of him for reasons that are to long and complicated to explain. Even though he may not be here in the present time he is still with me in memory, mind, heart and soul.

Week 2 Compare -n- Contrast

RAWR! I'm Princess Arielle...
This is my kitten...Isn't she so cute. Talk about perfect timing!

I love taking picture's of animals. I thought that she would be perfect as my first subject. I think that she is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen cuz she is rare. She is part wild cat.

When I took this pic it was all about timing. I saw the opportunity and jumped for my camera which was all ready for me to use. I quickly decided to take a bunch of picture's of her. In this one it looks like she is getting ready to roar or growl. It's kinda funny to me because I see her as a little blessing even though she can sometimes get herself into trouble. She was born in the beginning of August which would make her a Leo. I gave her the name Arielle because it means Leo(Lion) or Lioness of the Gods. Not to mention it's just a beautiful name. *Smiles wide* Look at her colors and the way that she is half and half. It's in a way very unique. I've just never seen a cat like her before. Her mother was rescued by the Claremont Animal Shelter. There are 8 others like her out there in this world that of which are her brothers and sisters.




In this second picture she is sitting pretty. I wonder what she was thinking... Notice that her eyes if you look closely have been affected by the flash. One is glowing green and the other looks dark. It looks kinda cool in a way like 2 sides/2 personalities. The darker eye looks wider then the lighter eye. I think she squinted when the flash went off. This photo is also kinda blurry compared to the one i took above. I'd say out of the 2 I like the first one more. These were both taken in auto. I do have photo's that I have taken with other features but I have not posted any here yet. I will be doing that in the weeks to come.



I have some really nice pictures on my DeviantArt profile page that I used different features to take the photo's. They are only a start to what I'm going to be shooting. From this point on I am going to start carrying my camera with me every trip small or big I take...even shopping.... I saw an owl in Keene NH the other day while shopping just sitting on the wire in front of Auto Zone. I was so disappointed that I couldn't get some really nice one's of it. I only had my camera which is on my phone and they didn't come out so well.
