Snow Day #2, Feb. 12, 2014
A few weeks after we got our first huge snow in a long time, we got an even bigger snow! It happened on Wednesday night (Feb. 12) and was 100% melted by Sunday (because it got super warm that weekend). This snow was HUGE. I only got pictures a few hours after it had started snowing so it wasn't that big yet. I got a few the next afternoon, but it had already melted a significant amount by that point. I snapped a photo of the snow on my phone right as the snow was ending around 8 on Thursday morning and it was incredible. Unfortunately, it melted as fast as it came. But I did get some nice pictures before it all went away!

Self-Portrait
Okay, I caved. Here you go. This was the first assignment this semester for my photography class. I HATE self-portraits, but I figured I'd go ahead and share. Why not.

Gatlinburg, February 7-9, 2014
We went to Gatlinburg this weekend, and I also had a shooting assignment that focuses on depth of field. I decided to take advantage of the beautiful mountain scenery and use it as a backdrop for my photos.
I shot photos mainly using f/22, f/8, f/5.6, and f/3.5 aperture settings.
I like this photography 2 class because we can use whatever settings we want. Last photography class I took, we had to use ISO 400 ONLY, and certain settings for certain projects. Now we are free to use any ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. It helps me produce better photos tremendously because I have the freedom to get the correct exposure based on my surroundings. This teacher also gives us the freedom to just shoot. The first assignment was a self portrait. She didn't care what settings, where you were, what they looked like... we just had to get a good exposure by taking a photo of ourselves! I MAY post those, we'll see. I hate photos of myself... This assignment was basically shoot anything you want but use different selective focuses and depths of field. We also have to shoot all of our photos in RAW which gives us more room to edit. Shooting in FINE allows the camera to make some initial edits, then it saves your photos to a .jpg file.
So without further ado, here are my photos.
