Hello!

Texas State University

“A Fountain On A Cool Day”

Selected Color: Blue

Location: Plaza in front of Common Dining Hall (“Commons”)

Camera: Canon Powershot SX30 IS

Post Editing: None

Settings Changed: Manual Zoom, Color Accent

Time of Day: Early/late morning, early afternoon

This is arguably one of my favorite photos to this day. Everything from the texture and movement of the water, to the blue of the sky and how its partially reflected in the fountain, all come together to form this wonderful composition.


“A Peaceful Plaza”

Selected Color: Green

Location: Courtyard/Plaza, up the hill from previous photo

Camera: Canon Powershot SX30 IS

Post Editing: None

Settings Changed: Manual Zoom, Color Accent

Time of Day: Early/late morning, early afternoon

This picture was actually taken before the one above. The reason why it’s here instead of further up is because it was determined by those who were helping me organize this page that this composition wasn’t as strong as the first, but it was still part of the top 3.


“The Three Flags”

Selected Color: Blue

Location: Courtyard, near previous photo

Camera: Canon Powershot SX30 IS

Post Editing: None

Settings Changed: Manual Zoom, Color Accent

Time of Day: Early/late morning, early afternoon

To the right of where the previous photo was taken were these three flags on their respective poles. There was something serene of a silent courtyard with only the flapping of the flags to greet you that I wanted to capture in this shot.


“The Apartments From Across The Way”

Selected Color: Red

Location: McCoy College of Business, 5th Floor, South Side

Camera: Canon Powershot SX30 IS

Post Editing: None

Settings Changed: Manual Zoom, Color Accent

Time of Day: Early/late morning, early afternoon

From the fifth floor of the McCoy College of Business, which I had 24/7 access to due to be being one of their student workers, I noticed that there were some fantastic views. What caught my eye here was that the reds of the apartment complex down the road popped, especially when compared to the other colors. I whipped out my camera and snapped this photo.


“Quiet Courtyard”

Selected Color: Green

Location: McCoy College of Business, 5th Floor, North Side

Camera: Canon Powershot SX30 IS

Post Editing: None

Settings Changed: Manual Zoom, Color Accent

Time of Day: Early/late morning, early afternoon

On the opposite side of McCoy was this glorious courtyard/slew of walkways with a ton of greenery. Out of everything, this shot makes me miss Texas State Univeristy’s exteriors.
