East River Divers

The first word that comes to mind when viewing this picture is exhilarating.  This word is visually connected to the photo because in the photo, there are three kids cliff diving!  In the image the kids that are diving create nice lines.  In the background you also see a faded bridge over the east river, which creates a nice effect.

Pictures I'd Like To Take

1.Soccer Pictures(action)...for blurred I would use a slower shutter speed, and to freeze the action I would use a fast shutter speed, like 2000th of a second.
2.Nature pictures...I enjoy being outside!
3.A body of Water...I could use a fast shutter speed to freeze moving water(like a waterfall)
4.Sunset...I would probably use a slower shutter speed to let in more light, since itll generally be darker out.
5.Star picture...I would use a superrrr slow shutter speed so I could see them move in the picture.
6.People pictures...I haven't taken very many pictures of people so I'd like to take some..shutter speed depends on what they are doing.
7.Homecoming pictures..Homecoming is coming so it'll be a good opportunity to take pictures!
8.Snow...in the winter, hopefully it'll snow a lot so I can get a few good pictures
9.Rain..I love rain, so I'd like to get pictures when its raining.
10.Formal events/Family pictures...i want to get some pictures of people all dressed up(specifically my family)

Thinking Like an Artist

Learning to think like an artist means: Looking at things more closely than most people do
Finding beauty in everyday things and situations
Making new connections between different things and ideas
Going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things
Looking at objects in different ways in order to generate new perspectives
Taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure
Arranging items in new and imaginative ways
Working hard and at the edge of your potential
Persisting where others may give up
Concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time
Dreaming and fantasizing
Using old ideas to create new ones
Doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do

~In my mind, thinking like an artist means being creative!
