Element - Value
This is my element of photography photo.
You can see the value because there are shades of black, white, and gray.
I also captured my cat's tongue right when he was licking his nose, which adds a funny effect to the picture.
~One element is value.
~One principle is emphasis.

Photoshopped Altered Image
This is my photoshopped altered image.
In the original photo, the girl's shirt was actually white, but I photoshopped it and added more of a peach color to it.
I also added a lens flare to the image because it adds a cool effect to the picture, since there is some sunlight in the background, and it seems like the lens flare is actually real.
~One element is color (the shirt)

Ansel Adams Inspired Photo
This is my Ansel Adams inspired photo.
He took pictures of nature, and this is a picture of an island in the Bahamas that I took.
His photographs are also in black and white- or value (shades of white, gray, and black), hence my photo has shades of white, gray, and black.
~One element present is value because of the shades of white, gray, and black.
~One principle visible is movement because your eye wants to move across the bumps of the island.
Shutter Photo
This is my shutter photo.
I captured the whale and the splash it made right when it was going into the water. I really like this photo because I like the way I caught the water and it was a good shutter photo. :)
~One element visible is texture
~One principle visible is emphasis because mainly the whale and the water are being emphasized.

Photo in the style of Photographer studied
My photo in the style of Dorothea Lange.
Even though Dorothea's photo's are in black and white, I added more of a sepia tone to my image. Dorothea Lange took environemntal pictures, so I tried to get some of the background ("environment") in the photo.

Self Portrait
This is my self portrait. We could take the picture any way we wanted to, but it had to express our personality. I like to play the guitar, so I took an overhead picture of myself with my guitar.

Principle - Balance
This is my principle of photography image.
You can see the emphasis because the dolphin's head/face is being emphasized.
I like this photo because I was able to capture the moment when the dolphin opened its mouth and I was able to photograph only the dolphin and the water and I didn't have to do major editing to it.:)

My Choice
This photo was my choice, so there weren't any requirements to it,
But what I was trying to do was emphasize the pumpkin and blur out the background.
~One element that is present is texture because you can really see both the rough and smooth surface quality of the pumpkin.
~One principle in this photo is emphasis because the pumpkin your eyes are drawn to the pumpkin first.
Environmental
This is my environmental photo because the baseball player is in his natural environment (playing baseball).
I liked how I captured the image right before he threw the ball, so you almost get a sense of movement.
I also photoshopped the picture to add a cool effect to it :)
~One element visible is texture because now that the image is photoshopped, it has a smooth look to it.
~One principle in the photo is movement because it seems as though the subject is in action.
