Five Photos for Class

Hello once again. May I call you readers fellow detectives? Most likely I can not, seeing that there aren't many people in the world blessed with the title detective, and here I don't believe any detectives are reading my blog.  Fair warning, like I gave in my intro, I have started this for class. Therefore I must post things for a grade when necessary.

Below I am including my five favorite edits that we have made over the week, with a little biography of each. I hope you enjoy the photographs themselves.

One of the gorgeous bridges extending over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Kentucky. I love the edits I placed on the water. It feels more realistic than the original photograph. 

I took this image several weeks ago on a summer day. I felt like walking down the university parks trail to take images, cutting through the woods for a train tack shot. This is one of several I had taken, but the detail of the leaves and rocks between the tracks is beautiful. 

Above is my precious pocket trumpet. I bought this for myself on my 16th birthday. Even in a monochromatic image, I feel it fails to capture the beauty of the horn itself. 

Above is one of the many pictures I had taken from the bowl game in Boca Raton last winter. I had never seen the ocean so beautiful and pure like that day. 

 Waiting for warm ups in concert arcs in marching band. The sun caught my eye, so I took this photo. The shine on my trumpet (average sized compared to my pocket above) was perfect in the original. However I feel the filter I placed over the image pulls out the beauty in it more. It brings me a sense of happiness looking at it. 

In the upcoming week for my class we are focusing on photography. Now, one can photograph anything, but more specifically we are focusing on details.

"You see, but you do not observe."

Now there is no better way to relate this to Sherlock. Details, details, details. What details can we point out of every day situations? Photography in a sense is like making deductions based on pure observations. You simply must look at something from an angle no one usually would. Make the ordinary extraordinary!

Hello and welcome to my blog.

 I've started this for a class I am currently taking at the University of Toledo. I'm using this specific post as a  "know the blogger". If you recognize the title of my blog you will soon realize what the main portion of my posts will be about. Sherlock, more specifically BBC's latest series creation of it. I have grown quite fond of the show since I began watching after season one. I intend to bring forth discussion on the show and its development as series four approaches. 

With that said, I have also mentioned I started this for a class. So on occasion there will be posts for classwork intermixed. If at all possible I will set up a separate folder or link to those posts, possibly even after the class has ended. 

Remember to observe, not just see.

Jamie.
