Week 8

A. Gran Canaria LandscapeThis photo was taken on the island of Gran Cararia in the Canary Islands. I like this picture because you can see the diverse nature of the island. The long peninsula of residential life, the lush green leaves of brush, the sandy beach, and the tourist locations.


B. The Duomo in Milan

This picture was taken in Milan Italy. The Duomo Cathedral is a popular religious location and tourist spot. I like how the Duomo is framed by a sea of people and modern buildings.

C. Angles in the Statue

This photo was taken at the Alnwick garden. The garden is filled with unique statues and modern fountains. I like this photo because it antique nature in the presence of new plant life and art.

D. Little Girl in Bamboo

This photo was taken in the Alnwick gardens. She was playing hide and go seek with her mom in the bamboo maze. I snapped a photo of her as she laughed her way down the cobbled path.

E. Big Sheep

I took this picture on a hike I took through Hulne Park in Alnwick. The sheep literally watched me walk for a good 100ft. It was just so mangy and scruffy I had to take a picture of it.

F. Durham at Night

This picture was taken in Durham. I like this photo because of the lighting effects the light had on the castle. The main focus is clear and the building in front becomes second in nature.

F. Abstract Stone

I took this picture was taken on a walk through Alnwick. I wanted to capture a different perspective of the old stone. I like how the main focus is on the top stone and how it slowly fades into the photo.

H. Sailboat in Motion at Lake Como

This picture was taken at Lake Como in Italy. It was a beautiful day and so many people were outside enjoying the weather. I like this picture because although the main focus is on the sailboat, the gorgeous scenery still has a great presence.

I. Low Angle of Venice Apartment

This picture was taken in the streets of Venice Italy. I took this photo because I thought this apartment was a perfect example of a 'true' Italian apartment; with the soft color stucco, window boxes and old weathered shutters. Someday I plan on owning one.

J. High Angle Gondola in Venice

This photo was taken in Venice Italy. I like this photo because the main focus is solely on the gondola. Because there are no roads in Venice, the main way to get around the gorgeous city is by gondola. It was a cool experience to see them in person.

Week 7

A. Venice Landscape

Venice Italy is the city on water. I have always wanted to travel to Venice and now that I have, I only want to go back. The city is a beautiful maze that is both mystical and romantic. By far, Venice was one of my favorite places I have travelled thus far. The landscape is so unique to Venice; being there was an amazing sight.

B. St. Marks Cathedral in Venice

St. Marks Cathedral is in the centre of St. Marks Square in Venice Italy. The detailed exterior was gorgeous against the pale blue sky. Thousands of people visit the square each day to see the impressive and breathtaking architecture.

C. Masks in Venice

This picture was taken in Venice Italy. All across the city vendors and stores housed hundreds of masks. Historically masquerading was a popular past time and most all Venetians took part. I thought they were beautiful hand make artefacts

D. Local of Milan

This photo was taken in Milan Italy. I was fascinated by the fashion in Milan. I noticed that the 80’s fashion is coming back ten fold all across Europe. This picture perfectly illustrates the 80’s comeback.

E. Lake Como, Italy: Nature

This photo was taken at Lake Como Italy. I like this photo because of the vast difference in landscape and nature. The bright blue water fills the lake, the green trees and luxurious homes cover the hills, and the Swiss Alps peak through in the distance.

F. Gran Canaria Beach at Night

This photo was taken on Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. While on vacation I took many day and dusk photos of the beach that I decided to capture a night photo. I like this picture because of tiny bright lights against the royal blue sky.

G. Abstract Coffee

This picture was taken in Milan Italy. I was walking through the city one day and came across this structure. It seemed very out of place and irrelevant to the setting of old buildings and cathedrals. I thought it was so strange I decided to take a picture of it. I wanted to take it from an obscure angle to capture the coffee cup structure in a unique manner.

H. Gondolas in Motion

This picture was taken in Venice Italy. I really like this picture because I was able to capture three different gondolas moving down the canal. It is an amazing and beautiful city.

I. Gallaria Vittorio Emanuele Low Angle

This photo was taken in Milan Italy. The Gallaria Vittorio Emanuele is a popular shopping center directly adjacent the Duomo. I like this photo because of the off set angle and large entrance. It really shows its grand presence in the square. Inside it only becomes more beautiful with glass ceilings, coffee shops, and stores.

J. Looking down on Gran Canaria

This picture was taken from the plane above Gran Canaria . I like this photo because it captures the coast line of the island and the presence of the right wing really gives depth to the photo.
