Ordinary/Plain to Beautiful

"Ordinary" or "plain" is the first picture, and the second is beautiful. It was some of my family at Thanksgiving.

Portrait 3

My dad is one of those people who reads the newspaper every morning. It shows how knowledgeable he is... about almost everything. Him relaxing on the couch also shows how laid back he is.

My mom has lived in multiple countries when she was growing up, so has friends all over the place, and Sundays are her days to call and catch up with as many as she can. She is also a really friendly person, which is why I photographed her smiling on the couch, on the phone.

My Sister
My sister is one of my best friends, and she absolutely loves clothes. Her love for clothes is why I took her photo in front of her closet, which happens to be fairly empty at the moment because all of her clothes are away at college.

Final Photo for 1st Quarter

Morning Sun

It was about 7am when I took this photo, I was driving on a small road just past my neighborhood. I saw a patch of wild sunflowers by the side of the road and luckily had my camera with me. I took numerous shots, but this one stood out to me the most. I cropped out unnecessary parts so the photo really focused on the two sunflowers and the sun rising from behind the mountains. I adjusted the contrast, color, brightness, and sharpness to create a more interesting photograph.
