Week 6, Day 2

So I'm a little late with these pictures, but I did take them on Monday! Here they are:

I took this one before it got pretty dark. This was taken near a park down the street from our house.

This one above is my favorite! Rebecca and I decided to walk around the neighbrohood last night and take pictures. This is a picture of one of the churches/schools that is down the street for us. Basically, last night Rebecca wanted me to practice taking pictures in natural light. I like this picture for many reasons, but one of them is what it means to me. I'll let you decide what it means to you.

The one above, I took at that same church. I tried to use the gate in the picture, and that's a roommate Rebecca! I realized last night that I really like taking pictures that were symbolic of something. Do you know what I mean? I like finding situations or setting up compositions with deeper meanings. I'm not sure if that makes sense....hopefully it does : )

I just think this one is a lot of fun! It's a picture of the bowling alley that is right down the street. I like the colors and the two lights in it.

This last picture was taken right across the street. Blue Island has a lot of cute little shops all up and down Western Ave.

Well, that's it for yesterday! I'm learning a lot and trying to be creative. I'm still trying to get used to using the shutter and aperture and knowing how to use them, how to bring more light into a picture, and then less....I'll get the hang of it, right?
