Instead of doing Texture photos, I was able to take photos of the Cupcake War the pastry classes were doing.
The cupcakes looked very professional and the photos turned out really nicely.
My favourite part about this photo is that you can already taste the soft banana and chocolate icing just by looking it.
I would have liked the background to be different (not all white!) but it makes the cupcakes stand out.
This challenge was lots of fun to do and might I mention that the cupcakes were delicious :)

Lines that lead...
Until this challenge, I had never realized how much lines come into our lives. They are everywhere!
I really like this picture because the wave of words really guides you into the picture and wants to keep going on forever.
With a little editing, I was able to brighten and enhance the colours to make them stand out.

BOO! :)
Halloween is a time of year that is fun for everyone! You can be someone completely different from your normal self.
I like the lighting in this picture, it gives off a very dark and eerie mood.

Editing this photo, I was able to darken the background in order to really bring out the dim lighting the candle gives off
Happy Halloween!

Taking this weeks photos opened my eyes. It showed me how other organisms see the world.
For example, the worm's eye photos made me think of how life would be if I was that small.
Everything would seem excessively big.

This photo uses the concept of being a worm and also shows leading lines. The leaves and flowers are very bright in contrast to the grey and dull sky.

This photo challenge was to capture the change of seasons between fall and winter.
The leaves on this tree are turning from green to red and orange. In the background you can also see some other trees that have already turned yellow.

Using contrast and sharpening the photo helps make the different colours stand out against the cloudy and grey sky.

Looking for the different aspects of fall turning into winter was surprisingly easy. Since then, I now see the real beauty of changing seasons and take more time to stop and admire my surroundings.

This photo is of flowers in a garden.
I like that the water droplets on the flower are in focus. It helps show the texture of the petals and brings your attention to the fine details of the photo.
The week's photo challenge I found that using black and white was very effective. Instead of looking at the different colours of a photo, you look at all the different textures and lighting used. Black and white also makes your photo look more serious or helps to portray a certain mood you are going for.

For this week's photography challenge we did reflections.
I took this photo in my backyard with a bowl of water. Getting the camera to focus on the rose was very difficult.
My favourite part about this photo is the contrast. The colours are very bright and stand out.
Although the rose is reflected, it still looks very crisp and real.
The process of taking the reflection photos was very interesting and showed me that planning is key when doing a photo shoot.
