These are a few Baystreet Photos. The ones I like the most!
Okay, for this photo I really wanted to try out a technique I saw used in another photo. You can find the photo in WEEK EIGHT, DAY 5: A MAN-SIZED CONE. I really wanted to make this green pole chain thing look bigger than my friend. So I had to get way down to the ground and put my camera at an angle to capture it. I like that I was able to get the column thing to look taller than her, but now that I look at it, I wish she hadn't been looking at me then it would have given the picture a bigger presence. Anyway, I think I liked doing this Great Green Experiment.

I must have had a thing for columns and rails, because here's another picture of a rail. For this I was practicing focus and depth of field. I didn't really like this one because it didn't have the depth I was looking for or the focus.
1st Attempt at Focus and Depth on a Rail
Therefore, I took the picture again. This time I took it at a different angle. This time, I focused on the rounded edge of the rail and let it lead out to bring in the depth of field. Voila!
Photo Name: A Rail of Focus and Depth
Okay, here's the thing. In this area of Baystreet, I noticed the water fountain. It was sooo beautiful and it's one of the first things that capture's a person's eye. However, I didn't want to take the fountain because there wasn't anything really unusual about it. I wanted to capture something that didn't stand out as much but also was put in that area to beautify the place. Upon closer inspection I noticed a red light on a tree and said to myself, how much attention does this red light get? It was put there to help beautify the place but people only seemed to be interested in the fountain. Therefore, I made the red light the focus of my picture because it's something that people don't really look at. The waterfall becomes an after thought.

I called the next two pictures The Voyeurism of a Photojournalist simply because I was taking pictures of people on Baystreet without them knowing. I really felt like a voyeur.
