Mercy Street Photo

Hit the Slopes

This photo was taken at Squaw Valley Ski Resort during the Mercy's Snowboard and Ski club trip to Tahoe and the snow. I took this photo with a higher ISO to capture the moving subject as if he became suddenly frozen, while his background blends nicely into the background. I cropped this photo to exaggerate the motion of the skier and then replaced the color with black and white, therefore creating a contrast and emphasis between the skier and the slope.

Artificial motion

During our photography class we were allowed to practice the art of creating artificial movement. I took a photo of my pony, Scout, and exaggerated the motion blur. The motion blurring really highlights how Scout is speeding around in the round pen.
