Mystery of the Lake By: Aidan

    This picture is based on Raul’s picture. I read his description and amplified on the things he thought made it good. The Loch Ness Monster shadow was added because the picture looked a little boring with out anything else in it but the beach. I used three filters and the shadow of the Loch Ness Monster in this picture. I think that the shadow adds an element of mystery because you don’t see what it is, but think you know.

Student photographer's analysis of the photo:

I chose Dwight D. Eisenhower because our school was named after him. He was a great man! He was the thirty-fourth president, and he was a very special man. I had no idea what to take a picture of, so I decided to take a picture of this man. Our school was named after him, and we honor him with this statue in the courtyard!

Student photographer's analysis of the photo:

It was a cold day and there were not a lot of people in the courtyard. The place where I took this picture, I think that it is very mysterious. In some way, it looks like a bow and arrow. That is what I titled the picture when I handed it in. But, I just don't know. I really like this picture, and I hope that many other people will like it too.

Student photographer's analysis of the photo:

I really like this photo because it captures the water falling. We usually can't see things like this with our naked eye. I like how the water appears bubbly. It took me a long time to get a good photo of the water. I kept taking photos, but they kept coming out blurry. I was really happy that I finally got a good picture.
