beads

For this photo i enhanced the color in iPhoto to bring out the brighter pinks, purples, and blues. I used the white on the shirt for the custom white balance and a HI ISO. There is some white noise but the object was not blurry. 

This picture is on a macro setting. There is a lot of digital noise because i used the HI setting of ISO. I used a custom white balance so it wasn't too orange or blue.

For this photo I used the macro setting and had an ISO of 800. This allowed the photo to be close up but added some digital noise to the details.

The perspective of this tree was used to create interest. The lines of the branches lead the viewers eye through the whole photo. I used a daylight white balance for the light of the sun. I also used a +1/3 exposure, making it slightly brighter.

In this landscape photo, the fire hydrant is the focal point. It is off-centered and the horizontal line of the fence moves the viewers eye. A daylight white balance was used along with a -1/3 exposure. This dulled down the photo and it's subjects and made the snow look more bright.

This picture is of a small pine tree, looking down the middle of it. I used a daylight white balance and a +2/3 exposure. This brightened the photo and made the green stand out. The white background doesn't take over the picture and blind the viewer, while the perspective adds interest.

Bell

The subject of this photo is a large bell. For this picture I used a daylight white balance to avoid an orangey glow. I also used a -2/3 exposure to dull it down and make the snow look less bright. This allows the bell to sand out, while the snow doesn't blind the viewer.
