week 6

The coast


This is a picture I took on the coast of Ireland. The waves drifting onto the shore is may favorite part and I like how the land slopes into the water. I'm jealous of the people that get to live in this beautiful place.


Church window

In Ireland I tool this picture of a church that was in one of the towns we visited. I purposely cropped off the top and bottom of the church because I wanted more focus on the window in the middle above the door. I like how this picture is a little different in that not many maybe wouldn't have thought of taking the picture in this way.


Super Manikin
I found this crazy fun manikin in Dublin while I was walking down the strip. I have never seen such a cool manikin with so many things on it before. I pick this picture because every time I see this picture it makes me laugh and I think its a good still life that will brighten your day.


Guitars

As I was walking along in Dublin there were many street performers including this pair. They were very good and I really liked their music. I wanted to take the picture so that I would remember once of my favorite street acts from Dublin. I think it's a good people picture and I like it very much.


Prickly

On our way up to the park I noticed this prickly little bush. I took a picture because I thought it was different and interesting not just a flower or a tree, and I think it kind of goes back to size isn't everything because this was a little bush yet it would hurt you a lot more than a tree..


14 lost
In Derry we went on a tour and as the sun set this was our last stop. A monument dedicated to the 14 catholics that died on bloody Sunday. This monument was surrounded by flowers and was a good ending to our tour.


Cool flowers

I found these little flowers in the park; I thought it was interesting that they hung down but thats just how they grew. I thought they almost looked depressed so I changed the picture into cool colors to emphasize this.



The creek
This is a picture of a little creek on my walk home. I think you can really see the motion of the creek and the picture is clean and simple.


Old Window


This is an old window from the monastery we visited. I think that the angle make the window appear much higher and longer that it really was. I liked the shape of the window and thought to myself why don't we make pretty shaped windows anymore they are all just boring and rectangle or square.

Monk?
I'm not sure if this is suppose to be a statue of a monk but I thought that it was interesting and the high angle makes the statue seem compressed and small when really it was about the same height as me. This was my favorite picture of all the high angle shots I took.
