Day 270; Color on Campus

Yesterday I was in Chicago visiting the University of Chicago campus. I can't beleive I'll be heading off to college in just a couple years! UChicago is beautiful, and I could definitely see myself going there. This path was through one of the many little parks on campus and was quite charming. I didn't do much editing since I loved the warm fall colors already present.

Day 235; Forest Park

My whole family is on a bit of a vacation in Saint Louis for my brother's birthday. Tomorrow we'll be going to the zoo, but today we had a picnic lunch and visited the art museum. Today's photo was taken in Forest Park when we stopped to eat before going to the museum. I thought it was neat that you could see the skyline behind the trees. I took other photos from angles I liked better, but unfortunately they didn't turn out. I did like the colors and lines in this shot.

Day 101

Today I'm going to post another photo that I took while I was walking around the lake yesterday. This one reminded me of a path from a fairytale book. To enhance this idea, I softened the photo, then added light edges that I faded quite a bit.

Day 88

This photo was taken when my family visited the St. Louis Zoo. I liked it as a black and white photo because the only color was the grass in the foreground and the wall in the background, since the zebras who are the subject of the photo are black and white themselves.

Day 62

This is a close up photo of some grass in my grandpa's yard that is growing in a puddle after some recent rain. I like the bright vibrant colors in this photo, and especially the texture and depth the water adds.

Day 11

To take this photo I was hanging upside down on a jungle gym.  I wanted to get a unique perspective.  The hardest thing was to hold still enough to get a picture. I had to take the picture pretty fast because the blood rushed to my head and I couldn't hold on for very long. (Click the picture to see it larger)

Day 10

I'm not sure how to describe this photo.  I placed my camera at the top of a slide to give the perspective of a little kid about to slide down.  I used a cross process effect.

Day 9

I went to a little park here in town yesterday.  I've really been loving the Lomo effect recently, and like how it kind of makes the colors pop out a little more than they would have.
