Krista Miller: Crazy Fish

Copyright Krista Miller 2007

This fish was so crazy and exotic looking! I wanted to use it as a feature photo, but when I approached the owner of the pet store he bit my head off and said that he hates the media and doesn’t want anything to do with my photos. I was pretty disappointed in his negative aspect of the media, so I didn’t even ask him what kind of fish this was – I just left. It seemed like everyone today was down on my taking photos and I’m not sure why. Just bad luck I suppose.

Hugh Carey: Monte hits

Copyright Hugh Carey 2007

Shutter: 1/125
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 400
Focal length: 140mm

What I like about this picture is the ample supply of action blurriness, including the goal post that Monte is hitting…while Monte is still in focus. It is sort of a panning shot since the shutter speed was 1/125. But at least I captured how Monte is really hitting the goal post then flipping all over the place; he (or she?) uses the arm instead of the chest to bump the post.

Hugh Carey: A blur of Autumn leaves

Copyright Hugh Carey 2007

Shutter: 1/50
Aperture: f/20
ISO:400
WB: Cloudy

I wanted to find a good ‘autumn leaves’ feature before winter falls through. It’s pretty hard to shoot colorful leaves for a black and white newspaper. So I went for a picture with many leaves as possible in the frame and that had human element in it. The grassy mounds at the Mansfield Mall were perfect. The leaves were on hills next to sidewalks. I didn’t have to go up a building and shoot high angle shots of people and the ground. So, I walked around the Mansfield Mall looking for the right angle to get layers of hills with leaves on it and sandwiched it with telephoto lens.
