"river"

Here is a [icture of the lake I took at Sleeping Giant.I loved how the woods were captured within the river photo it's self.....enjoy!!!!

"macro flower project"

Here is anouther single flower shot that I captured with the light.I thought it was a great shot how the light lit up the flower in the photograph.

"macro prject"

This is anouther close up of a white flower from anouther one of my mother's plant's.
I am very lucky that she is always buying plants and I was able to use them for my photo's.I hope your enjoying these photograph's.

"macro project"

I was able to capture a much better photo of the "macro project".I was able to capture a close up on my mother's plant.I was able to zoom in on one of the flowers.

"sky photo's"

I thought this photo was cool with how the sky and clouds were incorparated within eachother.

"water drops"

I was able to zoom in on the water falling and cought a few great big water drops.I hope your enjoying these water photo's and all the other photo's I have uploaded.

"shower water drops"

This photo I actually cought while it was falling from the shower in to the drain pipe.I love how this photo is captured with the "rain drops" or should I say
"shower drops",-hehehe- get it.Well I hope you enjoy!!!!

"falling water"

This deffently my favorite water photo ever.I lover how I got up close and shot this picture.I realy enjoyed this class and I am going to miss it,luckily I actually know what I am doing with my camera.So I guess there are usefull classes in college as well as the boring ones.

"water falset"

I captured this photograph in black and white however it came out more light then dark.I thought it was great how the water just came off the falset.I love these water photo's very much.

"bubbeling water"

Here is a great shot of the water bubbeling in the sink.

"water"

I decided to take what I call "water fall photo's",however they are not from a "waterfall" they are from my shower and sink talk about odernary ha? This photo was taken while the water fell in the shoer and was lead into the drain pipe....enjoy

I imagined this might be difficult, and I tried to compensate the dark conditions by manipulating Picasa. This is my husband who was happy to pose. OH, and another shot of Bailey girl!

Week 3 - By the Sea!

I'm sitting on the beach and zoomed in on these two guys canoeing, but what's even greater (too me) is the head of the guy in the water!

It's difficult in looking at this picture to tell how far out it might be considering they should not be canoeing too close to land, and this guy should not be swimming too far out in the water. 

Week 6 - Digital Portrait

My husband Robert sitting by a window. 

Week 2 - Downtown

I thought this was pretty. This sits outside of a flower shop near downtown Bloomfield. 

Week 5 - Garden

Looks like veins are embedded throughout this flower. 

Week 5 - Garden

I just thought this was a pretty color...raindrops and all. 

Week 6 - Digital Portrait

My daughter Jada. 

Week 6 - Digital Portrait

Taken on my front porch of my seven year old daughter Jada. I didn't even have to force her to have that pout! 

Week 1 - Mirror

Please forgive the hairdo! :-)...I am standing in front of our big screen tv and took this picture. I was very surprised at how clear it came out. A little fuzzy, but clear enough to capture the intent. 

Week 5 - Greenhouse/Garden

Although this was in color, I thought it stood out more in Sepia to show the raindrops better. 

Week 4 - Shadows & Lights

I thought this was a beautiful stoic picture of the "parent" bird sitting on a branch near the nest (previous photos submitted) where the baby birds were located.

It was as though the bird said "take my photo, aren't I beautiful". 

Week 3 - By the Sea!

I took this picture while on the beach at Hammonsett State Park. The tide is starting to come in! 

Week 3 - By the Sea!

I just thought this photo was really cool of my children and grandson...it looks as though they were contemplating their next move and viewing God's work all at the same time.

Week 7 - Crying Never Solved Anything!

Sometimes simplicity can say a lot! Check out fotothing to see the other designs I created.

I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed Class 7. 

Week 7 - Buildings under water!

Another fun one for me. Giving the impression that the buildings are under water and the fish are floating by was really cool to create. 

Week 7 - Family Fun Day!

I so enjoyed class seven. Just coming up with some of the designs using just the objects/tools your provided with was fun, hilarious and creative.

No, being an artist is definitely not my forte, but, I did have fun! 

Week 7

I like this better. It is much softer and much more to my personal liking. 

Week 7

Of the pieces I've done so far, I like this the best. But as I was creating it, I wasn't sure how it would come out. I really struggled with this assignment, I guess I'm not a big fan of abstract art. 

Week 7

I had fun with this assignment. I could not decide on which two creations to post. I let my imagination just roll, and this is what I came up with. This class has been a wonderful experience. I can't believe how much thought goes into my shots now!! Thank you all!!

A willing participant..
my digital portrait of my dog, Bailey. There was heavy rain here this am, so I sat with my coffee and shot away at her. Her expressions show who she is completely..my mellow girl. I would rather have a person model.... more later.

I liked this assignment as well, and enjoyed taking these shots. I love the sherub, and both the composition and the lighting in the dock photo.

These are some shots I took of the beach. I LOVE the beach, so this assignment for me was a treat!!

Downtown...trailing behind here!!
I was shooting, but could not figure how to post!
These are some shots that I took both in my home town of Old Lyme (the Old Lyme Congregational Church), and in Old Saybrook. I like the lighting more in the Old Saybrook shot, but if you look closely at the Old Lyme shot, there is a beam of light in the lower right hand corner that is pretty cool!

Macro

This is one of the macro pictures that I had taken.... 

Model Facing the Light

Hi All....This is a picture I took of myself. I couldn't find anymore candidates to take pictures of.

My second posting for the surrealism project. The more I messed around with this, the more comfortable I got!

Albertus Online Photo Class Sec. 2

Albertus Online Photo Class Sec. 2

My creations from the Athenaeum site.
This was an unusual assignment for me, as I have difficulty with the "no intention" aspect of surrealism.
But, here it goes...

Model facing the light

This photo is with my nephew watching guests arrive for a 4th of July party. Then I asked him to pose for me. He was very gracious. I like the way picture came out, the light on his face and the shadows. 

Week 7 Last Project

The painting is called Trouble in America. This painting is based on topics we face in America today such as Terrorism, War, Global Warming, floods, pollution and world hunger. Basically, time is running out we need to come together as one and stop pollution and terrorism to make our world a better place to live. 

I enjoyed this project. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I did creating it. 

Week 7 - Judgement

This picture represents events from the Bible that are connected to judgement. 

Week6 Model

2nd pic of my friend beth. I think in both pictures you can really see her personality. She is a very shy individual and does not like her picture being taken. Her expressions i think reflect that. Also, this picture was taken during a surprise b-day party for her fiancee, he had not yet arrived nor heard from him and she had been planning this for months. So I think that affected her mood along with her expression, she was just wondering when he would call and show up....

Week 6 "Model"

This is my good friend Beth...lets just say I had to spend about 30 min's trying to convience her to do it but in the end I won.

I have been stuck on the "up close," I was lucky to get the shot with the hummingbird, and I just love these plantings at sunset. I am still working with the portrait, and the surrealist. Tough ones..

I have enjoyed viewing all your works! Thanks for sharing!

"the sky view with branch"

I love how this photo captures both the sky and branches of the tree near by the house across the street from mine.I love how photograph's capture more then one object within the photo such as this particular picture.

the walking bird

Here was a photo shot of a bird that was walking down the walk way near my house.I tried to get in close but by the time I got near him he flew away.So this is the best I came up with.Anyone have any suggestiosn on hot I can get close up to a bird please let me know?....thanks kelly

"the goose"

I know this is not an actual assignment however I took the shot and thought it came out great.This is a goose that my mom made awhile back and sits outside on our front lown.

self portriat -dad-

This is a picture of my dad being silly as he always is.When we went to take photo shot of the waterfall he decided to act like he was diving in the water.Don't worry he never did but the photograph deffently looks like he was going to,doesn't it?

black and white

I shot this photo when I was at the waterfall a few weeks back.I love how the black and white come into the photograph.

covered bridge

Here is anouther shot of the covered bridge that I previous took however this photograph is in black and white.I hope you like it.

waterfountain

This is a photograph of a waterfountain at Gaylord where I go to Physical Therapy.I hope you like this photo just as much as I do.

rooster shot

Here is a picture of my neighors rooster that is on top of their home.It looks great when it spins in the wind.I hope you enjoy.

Creatures of the World

Creatures that were created to settle in this world.... 

Week 6 Portraits

My models were my neice and son. They were pretty good models did not have to direct to much just kept taking pictures and since we were outside the sunlight was just beaming off of them. As you can see kids tend to just show emotions in all movements. Loved these two.
 

Week 5 Macro Project

These two pictures I felt were little things and through the camera was revealed as large objects.
 

"Finally you have found somthing perfect, finally you have found, YOURSELF."

Hey-

The natural light portrait assignment really made you look at your subject deeper didn't it? Yeah, you might know the person personally that you are shooting. But does your picture of them capture their personality, and allow the veiwer to get to know them?

It was alot of fun shooting my cousien Bjorn.

Here is one shot from the series I took of him. You can veiw the rest on my fotothing thing portfolio.

Week 6

I couldn't help but capture my kitty in the window, her favorite place to be. It has been a couple of rainy days, so the first spot of sunlight was wonderful! Good for me to get this week's assignment complete, and good for her to rejuvenate!!

Pathway To Heaven (Week 7)

This is the entrance to the Heavenly mall above the earth in which we roam.

Week 4 - Ball

This was the first photo taken as the sun was diminishing. 

Week 4 - Ball Game

This was a ball game I went to and caught the sunsetting. I thought the shades of light was captured in this photo. 

A World Of Confusion (Week 7)

This is my masterpiece showing a world in confusion. This is a really neat tool on the Athenaeum site.

This is a picture of my daughter who was patient enough to all me to take a series of pictures. 

Week 7 - Surrealist Aesthetic

Hello All......This was fun.

I call this All Eyes are Watching!! Enjoy... 

Waterfall

This picture was taken today. Wanted to share with everyone. 

rainbow photo

I know that this is not an actually photo assignment.After a rain storm that we had I went outside and so this beutiful rainbow.I thought it looked great because you see the rainbow not clear witch gives more asspect to the photograph.You can see how the rain played a big part in this photo witch I realy liked about it.I guess there are some great things about the rain after all....enjoy...kelly

"exsploring"

Here is a picture of D.J. picking off the flowers from the plant outside my house.He loves to play with the plant and I love to see him so deep into "exsploring".I love it when baby's learn to crawl,walk,talk,and learn what is going on in the world.So I call this photo "exsploring" what is out in the world.If you notice how the light is captured in the photograph.....enjoy....kelly

"exsploring"

I called this photo the "D.J. exsploring photograph".I think it is great do to the fact that D.J. loves picking the flowers off of the plant.I thought it would make a great photo shot.I love when baby's learn how to crawl,walk,talk,and learn all about the world.I hope you enjoy looking at these photograph's that I have taken....kelly

a cute photograph

I realy love this photo of D.J....He was looking up at his father who you can not see in the photo.I used back and white to capture the color of his eyes.HIs father was talking to him and D.J. was talking back to him.I was teasing with his father that he might have been saying something we didn't like....hehehehe....They were in deep conversation and right at that moment I smapped this wonderful photograph.I hope you enjoy.....kelly

week 6

Here is ZOE ridding her bike while she was looking up at the sky.She saw a beutiful bird that she was looking up at and telling me about.Right when she looked up at the sky I shot this photo.I thought it was a great shot do to the fact she was not looking straight at me.ZOE was very patient with all of the photographs that I took of her as well as her brother.I hope you enjoy

week 6

Here is the photo that some how did not go through.It goes to the description that I wrote regarding ZOE and D.J. playing with their birthday toys.They were my subjects for my portriat shot.It was very hard to take pictures of a 1 year old as well as an 8 year old but I have to say they were great!!!!.....enjoy

Week 7.... The Last Project!

At last we arrive at the last project... We couldn't finish a class on digital imaging without having some fun really mashing up picture elements. Go to the Wadsworth Atheneum's Painter site and create a few compositions. Experiment freely with all of the controls.... scale, transparency, copy and pasting, rotation, etc. Publish your masterpiece.

How to save your work on your computer to put it on Fotothing and post to your class blog:

The Painting application on the Atheneum site is a Java application and you can't save from there to your hard drive. Instead, you have to hit the Print Screen button on your computer's keyboard. This puts the whole image on your computer's monitor into the memory clipboard on your computer. Next open Paint... "Start>Programs>Accessories>Paint". Now paste your clipboard screen shot ("Edit>Paste"). Say yes when it asks would you like the bmp enlarged. Use the rectangle selection tool to select just your picture by clicking and dragging around it. Finally to save your image for uploading choose menu "Edit>Copy To" and name your file and choose a folder to sent it to. Browse to that folder with Picasa, double click on it, and finally export it as a .jpeg. Now you can upload to Fotothing or to post on the Blog. Fotothing only takes the .jpg format... probably the same for the blog.

It is a little involved but do it once and you'll see it isn't too bad and you'll have learned a new skill. Do yor readings on the Surrealist Movement... Don't think too hard about what you want to create... go with it intuitively...have fun!

Week 4

A lil late but still got it in! This is a picture of my friends cat....figured this would be in line with shadows and light.

week 6

Here is both D.J. and ZOE playing with their birthday toys I gave them.ZOE was being quite the big sister here and helping D.J. how to put the ball on pad.It was a game I got them,ofcourse ZOE was wanting D,J, to do it her way.They were very cute together na dI thought it was a great shot......kelly....look for more photo's on fotothing.com under kmack

Hello everyone!....This is my portriat photo assignment.There are two lovly kids that live across the street from me with whom I am very close with.This little baby boy is my little boyfriends -hehehe- who I babysit all the time.He is just 1 years old and is always on the go witch I guess for a boy is tipical.I decided to take these 2 wonderful children and turn them into a photo project......Seeing how there is one assignment and 2 children it will equal out to a few more pictures then the assignment asking.Anyways here is D.J. talking to a porsalen duck that was made many years ago by my mother and sits in front of our house.Every day when he comes over he goes and talks to the duck.It is very funny because D.J. will go say ducky and his sister who I might add is 8 years old and miss know it all will say "now D.J. how many time do I need to say it is not a duck it's a goose.I hope you enjoy this photo just as much as I do.....kelly

macrog project

I thought this photo was realy cool do to the fact that the sky is almost in the middle of the trees.If you notice through the sky and tress,what do you see?......A white line from the sky witch I thought brings out the photo even more.Hope you like it just as much as I did.......kelly

macro project

This is a photo of a big green tress outside my neighbors house.I was outside walking one day and thought wow I didn't relize how big this tree was.SO I took a shot of it and here it is.Hope you enjoy.....kelly

Portrait

Taking portraits was the most difficult thing to do yet because I was looking for a picture where I captured the personality of my subject. It seemed like the only option was to use black and white as it seemed most honest.

Portrait

This picture was taken in the morning by the window. Early morning thoughts.

Week 6

This is my model Andrew. He is a handsome, caring, loving, patient, and an overall wonderful person. What else is there to say, he is the best!! 

Portrait in the window - Week 6

This is my son Andrew. He is 17 years old. He recently graduated from Windsor High School. He will be attending college in the fall. He played soccer for Windsor High, West Hartford Premier and will be playing in college this fall. Andrew is a honor student and recipient of 2005 All Conference award.

Week 6

This is another picture of Aubrey. 

Week 6 - Portrait by Light

Hello All, this is my neice Aubrey. It was very hard keeping her still to take the pictures. This picture isn't that clear, but this was my favorite shot. I love how the light reflects on her face. I also like this picture in black and white. 

Potrait by light

This is my husband's nephew. He was kind enough to let me take many, many pictures. I think this one shows the window light nicely off his face and shoulder. 

The daring person in the picture is my daughter Alea. She was very patient through about 40 pictures. I like this one because the way the sun reflects on her face without losing details. 

 

Week 6- Portrait

This is my sister. Eventhough I wanted the photograph to seem natural, I asked her to fix her hair in order to get some great shadows in her arms and face. She was perfect as a model and you can see more of her on my fotothing account! 

Week 6- Portait by window

This is my other cat, Chico. I tried the same thing as my last picture by highlighting the left side of his face. I like the way that the leaf was also in a great shadow. 

Week 6- Portrait by window

Animals are much harder to photograph than people, but their poses can be much more natural. This is my cat, Meeko, sitting by the sliding glass door in mid-afternoon. I had the light positioned on just the left side of his face to add detail to his portrait. 

Week 5- Macro project

The macro project is my favorite one yet. I took this photograph and enhanced it with a focal black and white. The shadows on the petals looked so good that I wanted to share it with the class. 

This is a flower I saw and it caught my attention. I wanted to show it with the some attention placed on the center blossom. 

I enjoyed taking and adding some touches to this photo. 

Portrait with window light

I have to say, I think this was my most difficult assignment so far. I feel like I took some good shots but not all showed the light reflection the way I wanted. But this portrait shows the light nicely on the side closest to the window. 

sun light photo #3

This is a direct photograph of the sun witch I took in the middle of the day.I am not sure why I looked up at the sky into the sun light with out my sun glasses but I did.Well I hope you all are enjoying my photographs....kelly

week 4 -the sun setting for the day-

This is anouther photo image of the sun light! In this photograph I did shoot my camera directly at the sun light.Witch was very interesting on my eyes,thankfully I had my sun glasses on.It was around 5:00 in the evening one night and I was outside in my front yard looking for photograph's to take for class.I looked up over my roof top and saw the sun setting for the evening.I thought to my self yes it is not exsactly a "sun set" however this would look great as a photograph for class.SO what do you all think,do you like this photograph image? I love how the sun is setting over my roof top of my home with creases of the sun in the photograph.I am so very happy that I took this class,I have had alot of fun along with learning a great deal in fact.....kelly

week4 -sun light-

On Memorial Day weekend It was very hot outside and exstremly nice out so I decided to go out and sit in the beutiful weather.I decided to take a photo and when I did I cought the sun light.I was not aming directly at the sun however when I shot the photo it cought the wonderful sun light.I love how the photo image captured the sun light lines across the tree.If you look at the picture you can see the trees and sky in the background within the sun light from above.Isn't it amazing how you can take a regular,odernary photograph and turn it into "gold".I guess when they say "one person's trash is anougher person's treasure",is actually true.The photo in many ways looks like the sun is actually falling from the sky,does that seem like it?....I hope you are enjoying all of my photo images....I know I am uploading them all at once however I wanted to wait until I got great shots....kelly

week 4 -light-

I was outside the weekend of Memorial Day when it was exstremly hout out as well as beutiful out.Anyways I took this photo and absolutly loved how the sun light captured into the photograph.I did not shoot the image directly at the sun,however it looks that way.What I did was shot the image of the tree witch then the light was captured within the photograph.I thought that this photo absolutly,positively was unique especially with the lines of light shooting through the photo.SO how do you like my photography work with my digital camera?....kelly....

I absolutly love this photograph of the waterfall witch is located in Hamden/New Haven ,CT. near ALbertus Magnus College.I love how I captured the water falling,falling,falling.What do you all think? I wish this was a waterfall that you could jump into ans swim,swim,swim all summer long.DOn't you?....hehehe...enjoy all...kelly

macro project -flower garden-

This photo was taken when I was going to Gaylord for Physical Therapy.I was walking by the garden in the enterance of the buliding.I think it is cool with all of the different flowers in a garden.I love taking pictures of the changing of leafes and colorfull flowers.The greatest time of year is when the leaves change and driving up towards MASS. is so cool.....Enjoy....kelly

week 5-macro project-

This is anouther unique but original photo also taken out Sleeping Giant State Park.I hope you enjoy this photo,you can see the grey sky's before the rain started to fall.

week 5 -macro project-

This photograph has got to be one of my favorite and unique images using my digital camera.I was at Sleeping Giant at the same time when I took all of the water photos.This photo was taken in black and white while capturing the woods and trees at the State Park.You are also able to see the river in the middle of the woods if you look very carefully.I hope you enjoy....kelly

week 2 composition/shapes

This photo is a very unique one and very interesting in fact.It is a photo of a coner wall in my bed room that I shot for the composition assignment.I believe it is a unique shape and I have been told that my bed room has the best shape in it created a wonderful room.....i hope you enjoy this photo....

the river"by the sea"

i was at Sleeping Giant and I took many different photo's and I just thought this one was great.I figured it fit in with the assignments we needed to complete.I believe it would go with the photo for "by the sea".

week 3

i have been taking many,many different photos that are needed for our assignments.i know i havn't uploaded them but will be in the process of doing this.so enjoy all these wonderful photos i have been able to create.

Window Light Portrait

This is one of my day students, by window light. The window is touching my right shoulder and her left arm.

-Zoom in
-Crop the top of the head
-Put the head in the upper corner.
-Let the expression settle down.
-Turn the face into the light
-Don't include the window in the picture 

Tips for the Portrait Assignment

Listen to this audio post regarding the portrait assignment. Here I reinforce what I want you to do for this week's assignment. This requires some stretching beyond your normal way of doing things. I cover the main points to keep in mind as you do this.

Week 4 - The Birds, Shadows & Lights

Here's another photo...

Gold, Mirror, Reflection

Here's a second photo, again I took this picture aiming at the "Gold Building" and the reflection of the building in back of me (SBC, phone company) is what shows up. As you can see, SBC is backwards in this photo! 

Reflections

This building is located in downtown Hartford and is affectionally known as "The Gold Building". I was up on the 8th floor of the parking garage and took this photo. In taking the picture of the gold building, the reflection of this building appeared. (This building is actually in back of me). The Gold Building looks like a building with gold mirrors.

I was feeling a little creative. The original photo of this can be found on Fotothing (in Gold). In Picasa, I decided to make the photo black and white and focus on the part of the building that looks as though i's melting! 

Free To Be (Brown)

I've gone onto Picasa and edited this photo which I thought came out pretty cool...just displaying it in a different style/format. 

Week 5- The Macro Project (2)

I love the way that you can see the edges of the flower surrounded by sunlight. It was taken just after it rained so you can see all the droplets of water still on the petals. The water just seems to glow.

The last picture is of a peony taken from my mother's garden. That one is my absolute favorite. 

Week 5- The Macro Project

 

Week 6, Window Light Portrait

Janie, by window light, JN (my sister in law's niece)

Hi Everyone,

Go back and read the week 6 section of the syllabus. This week, I'd like you to revisit the idea of a portrait by natural, window light. Work with someone you know and love. Your child, parent, sibling, best friend or grandparent. 1. Turn off your flash 2. Take them by a window and let the natural light illuminate the face. Look at this example Allow your subject to settle down. Here's a young child by window light. All of your cameras can do this when you see the light correctly and let things calm down. 3. Zoom in moderately, don't zoom out. It will keep you back from your subject and their features will be in better proportion and more pleasing. 4. Avoid direct sunlight as it is too harsh. 5. Don't let your subject wear white... dark colors are much better as the eye goes to the face easier.

Littlewing has created a dynamic, in your face, wide angle, shot with flash series of her Boston Terrier on fotothing. Here she is doing everything I'm asking you not to do, using flash and a wide angle (zoomed out) lens setting. The effect is one crazed dog! (which I like) She should go back and try her Grandpa, Opa now by window light. Give it your best shot.

Isn't she beautiful. You can't even see her eyes. 

Week 5 Homework (Flower)

Even though this weekend was a wash out, i think the rain actually added to the pictures......the rain drops come into detail in these shots and i think bring out the flower more...it's something else to focus on rather than just the flower. This is a garden in my parents house.

Week 5- Macro

I couldn't resist. I took these pictures after the rain this afternoon. The rose was only a bud yesterday, and today it is in full bloom!

Macro

This is my favorite macro photo. I luv how you see the rain drops on the leaves. 

Flower in the rain

This flower was taken yesterday in the rain....Not as clear as I would like. 

Flower Bud - Class 5

This flower bud is on its way to blooming.

I will post on fotothing.

Flowers - Class 5

This was taken earlier this week. I tried to get as a close as possible while capturing the bee.

Wk 5 - Macro - lilly

Not quite as close, but just as beautiful.

This lilly blossomed today - I love the deep rich colors. I took a number of shots of the blooms that came out today, but I really liked this one.

I took this picture today from a bouquet of flowers my daughter received. I love the brightness and the lines in the flowers. 

Riding with the Wind

Hey

Shadows and Light huh?

Nei's graduation balloon was blowing in the wind. She looked so happy as she spinned around to keep it out of her face while she talked and posed for pictures with friends. Congratulations to the class of 2006! And happy shooting for all the rest of us.
