BirdHouse


 * Jenn Brower's Photo Study**

I had much debate as to what my object should be. After ruling out the little duck in my flower garden (my poor gardening skills would be revealed to all), I decided to explore the bird house my husband has hanging from the swingset. It is really high up there, so I don't think I have ever really looked at the thing!

First, the basic information: I used my wonderful Canon PowerShot SD1000. It is 7.1 mega pixels and takes amazing photos! It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon with lots of fluffy clouds in the sky, so getting a few nice shots didn't take too much effort!

Let's get started!

This is the birdhouse from Natalie's one and a half year old view. As you can guess, Natalie probably doesn't even realize that this is up there!

This is the view that I have of our little bird house. For this shot, I decided to see what would happen if I chose the "Color Accent" from the camera's menu. While it did not offer much as far as color (worked great on my daughter's bright green shirt), it gave the picture more of a black and white feel.

This time, I decided to climb on up and take a "bird's view" shot. It doesn't look like much, but I assure you this is a well loved home!

I just like this next shot for some reason. I once again had the "Color Accent" option turned on, so I didn't capture the beautiful blue sky. I like how you can see a bit of a nearby tree and the little bird house patiently waiting for someone to come home.

In the last two shots I wanted to show the contrast between a regular photo and the "Color Accent photo. I really wish that there was more color to work with because it is quite a neat option. Nevertheless, I do like the "old" look this second picture has. I'm always torn between loving the brightness in color photos and the detail you seem to get in black and white photos.

Well, that completes my photo study for now! Be sure to check out what I did with my photo editing software!
