Here is where we build community for our online class... Post your best two images for the week with a little commentary. Comment on the work of your fellow students... A minimum of 3 or 4 comments per week is appropriate. This is an important part of your grade. Use fotothing to post your 6-10 assignment photos for the week.

Downtown
Hello Everyone,
My posting are pictcurces of St Mary Church and Yale Universirty Deapartmnet of Engineering buildings locate at 10 Hillhouse Ave. Enjoy
I'ts important to edit each and every image you do for this class. That means opening it in Photoshop or Picasa and rotating it, adjusting light, color balance, and straightening it out..
One of my instructions this week was to get in close and pay attention to light. Don't show us the whole building and most of the time, avoid putting any sky in the picture.
The only image with some potential is the bottom one as light is working actively in the shot... now you need to get in closer by crossing the street and actively composing the door elements in your frame.... Walk right up to the door and take a few shots.....
The shadows in that shot are awesome! Everytime I go out to shoot the sky is overcast! (that's great for outdoor portraits, but tough when you are looking for texture and contrast in rocks and stuff!) But that shot of the church-front is great!
