Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

So, I took this picture when we went to D.C. for band tour. Although I had dreamt about being a photographer before band tour, D.C. was my first chance to actually experiment with a camera. Thank you Jenny for lending me yours!




P.S. I think it's lame that they really do know who the soldier is in the tomb. But whatever.

A Tribute to Summer

Hey, so the first week of school ended today and I am in mourning because that also means summer is dead. So here are a few pictures from my trip to California to commemorate summer in its glory. The first couple of pics are blurry because I forgot to bring the battery charger. So I did quick point and shoots resulting in blurry pictures. But, no matter, they are fun still!

Mt. Rushmore

So, we went to Mt. Rushmore on our way home from Nauvoo. Here are some of my favorite pictures!



A view you don't usually see...




Some desaturation. The sky still looks a little blue...






I couldn't resist!

Sunset in Nauvoo

These pictures were taken through the window of our condo which made it sort of grainy. So I fixed that by darkening the shadows and such. Then I got carried away with the colors. So here is a before and an after.

Little Drummer Sister Missionary

This girl was by far one of my favorite performing missionaries! She had the best expressions when she was drumming. Unfortunately the picture turned out to be a little blurry so I added a watercolor feature to it on photoshop. I like it a lot!

Sorry!

So, sorry for taking so long to update. I went to Nauvoo for a week and then band camp for another week and then the computer wouldn't turn on. So, yay for Mom's laptop and some extra time!

Last Saturday was Alpine Days. I entered these two pictures into the Art Show and the one with the pink flower won third place in the contest.
