A Foggy Morning Hike: Asheville, NC

Since getting my first iPhone, I am continuously impressed with the photo clarity. I took this photo with my iPhone and the hipstamatic app during a hike in Asheville, NC last August.

Water

In this assignment for my Photographic Illustration class this semester, we were given an assignment to photograph water. The assignment was open to our choice design within the criteria that water had to be the main focus of the final image. I chose to photograph my water in a natural state of being in motion. I took this image with a slow shutter speed of water running over some rocks in a river. I also chose to use a larger aperture to keep most of the water soft, out of focus, and more dreamlike. By using this type of shutter speed and aperture, I was able to create an image of water with a painterly effect.
