Orient to New London

Recently I took a vacation to Salem, Massachusetts. While I was there, I took so many pictures. While I was on the ferry from Orient Point to New London, I was all over the boat! I took 400 pictures on a hour and a half ferry ride. However, this is not the point of this post. When I was younger, I would take photos of the land that I passed, the water, the american flag, and my family. On this trip it was different. I was taking pictures of the stairs, railing, lights, the telescope, the benches, ropes, buoys, rust stains and writing on the wall. As I was looking back on the photos, I came to the realization that I am improving as a photographer. The different assignments in my Digital Photography I class have made me look at things differently and my assignments and lectures in my Digital Materials and Processes class have enabled me to play around with the setting on my camera to produce different images. It is amazing to see how far I have come! and there is still half a semester left!

Here are some of my favorite images from the boat!
