My Macro

                              








I really enjoyed taking these close up pictures because it gives pictures a different perspective. The way that some of pictures have blurred backgrounds really emphasize the detail of the image. My favorite is the paintbrushes because the colors are so vibrant and the detail in the bristles are very well defined.

Tilt Shift

   This was one of my first photography pictures that I took during an 8th grade field trip to Portland. With the tilt shift affect it looks more like a train set than a big city.
                      Go wolves! Had a great run during our volleyball game vs Tigard last night! This picture is cool because look at how little the players look! :)
    Just some random cows next to Jergins park...don't they look like little plastic toys in the field?
My mom wanted to be my first experiment with tilt shift :) She was amazed at how unreal the picture turned out!
I thought that this picture was cool because of the way the lighting was really dark on the top and bottom, and the middle was well lit, making Cody and Jeff look tiny.

Brownie Camera

1. What is a Brownie Camera?
         A brownie camera is a cheap, easy to use, black box camera. It uses film and a picture is taken with the click of a button, with the camera held at the waist. 
2. Who invented it, and when?

         The Eastman Kodak Company first introduced the Brownie camera in 1900. 
3. How did it change society, and of course, the photography world? 

          Because the price of the Brownie camera was so low, many more people were able to purchase them. The film was also easier to get developed, so people wouldn't have to spend so much money on materials for development. The Brownie camera was super easy to use, so marketers targeted mainly children. Before, photography was expensive and left to the professionals, but with the Brownie camera, millions of people could take pictures whenever they wanted, at whatever event they chose, for little to no money.
