Seasonal ColorsFall may have come and gone, yet the colors the season brings are forever etched in our minds. if you asked someone to say what comes to their mind first when they hear the word “fall,” most would say “the changing of the leaves.” Above, Camille Tababan photographs some leftover pumpkins. At the top right, Christine Almeda photographs a lonely moment on a trail. To the right, Emily Gregor follows the “path of least resistance,” on her journey through the woods.
Pictures Worth a Thousand Words!
Can you tell by this photo that this young lady is
happy about something? While shooting candids
for the school’s yearbook, photographer Reggie
Lozado snapped this wonderful expression.

share a bit about Auggie.

Auggie enjoys curling up with a nice bone and walking on the beach during a long sunset.
FROM OUR
Behind every photograph is a story; an emotion that touches everyone who views it. Every photographer captures a photograph differently, and how they feel within every moment can be seen in their work. As we look through the arch to the right, many people will view it differently. Are we looking at an arch outside the school or are we looking through the arch? Are we wishing we were out there or are we glad we’re warm inside? Only the photographer knows, even though, to many, it may not seem that important.
How do you view photography? What is your perspective? Do you look for the emotion, or bask in its simple beauty? Do you wonder what the photographer was looking for, or was it a lucky shot? The students of New Milford High School now have the opportunity to take a photography class to capture their own hidden moments and feelings through a camera lens.
A picture is worth a thousand words and a photographer has a million feelings. Are there special moments hidden in their photographs or are there photographs hidden in their special moments? You decide.
What is our Perspective?

The “Eyes” Have it!
Using a touch of creativity, students showed their abilities by editing certain photos in Adobe Photoshop.
So what color are your eyes?

Just wait a secondTo most, a second is a short period of time, but to a photographer, it is an eternity. Here are some time delay exposures:
For many people, one second out of their day is almost meaningless; To a photographer, it is the difference between getting a great shot and getting nothing at all. But maybe, just maybe, a second or two to a photographer can give unexpected results. Pictured to the right are extended time photos of moving objects taken by students during the day. The effects created gave new meaning to the word “motion” and has inspired many to try similar techniques.

CLASS ASSIGNMENT:
Over the past few weeks, the Digital Photography classes have been experimenting with Macro (close-up) Photography. To the right are some creations the classes photographed:

Ashley Martinelli took special care of her cat,
Jingles, in a recent photo shoot.
Reggie Lozado took several of the photos featured in this issue;
Some of his macro shots seem to come to life.
Mo Hertz is making her photographs her own. Her photos seem to
capture the “mo” ments and make you feel as if
you are there.
While sitting on her front porch on a lazy Sunday afternoon, Mo Hertz photographed this unusual sight during the winter, a dragonfly in February! The recent warm winter weather has sparked unusual insect activity in our area.

Ever wonder what your pets do
when you’re not home? No need to
wonder anymore! Sophomore Ashley
Martinelli arrived home with a camera
in hand and watched as her cat,
Jingles, played queen for the day.
When she’s not sleeping in someone’s
bed, she loves to lounge on the
couch downstairs.

THIS MONTHBlack & WhitesBlack and white photography
has stood the test of time and
is still admired by many as an
art form of its own. Pictured
to the right is a candid portrait
with beautiful contrast. Below
is a photo taken during the
fall that has been edited to
enhance one part of the
photograph.

WWe’ve been printing our own photos
for the past decade, and over the years
have reached the skeptical conclusion
that color ink jet photos will fade
over time. But, if you pulled out your
parents’ old scrapbooks filled with those
“ancient” black and whites, you’ll notice
how crisp and clear they still are.
Black and White Photography has
become more of an art form than a
style of printing. This past month,
students had the assignment to
photograph people and edit them in
black and white. Here are some of their
“art forms”:

Sunset in the City Talk about an “A” for extra effort! This sunset photo of New York City was captured at the perfect moment.

Throughout the year, the digital photography
students are given numerous assignments.
Some of these assignments are fulfilled outside
of school, but others are completed during
class time. Surprisingly, these photos were
captured right here at New Milford High School.
Believe it or not...

“I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree.”
Alfred Joyce Kilmer’s poem describes the beauty of trees in
words. The students of the Digital Photography Class were
asked to capture this beauty around the high school, which isn’t
an easy task during the winter months. The following are their
perspectives:

The PhoTograPher
A normal person sees a storm, thinks help and runs away
A photographer sees that storm, and runs the other way
Off into the cold they go, the wind, the rain and more
To capture pics no matter what, of all the things they saw
Watching all the huge waves crashing, defiantly they stand
Looking out from beneath the pier, with camera in hand
Why do we do such stupid things, like photograph the snow
We can’t resist to get that pic, so off we always go
We see the world through rule of thirds, and many shades of grey
The search to get the perfect shot, continues every day

Most recently, the students in the Digital Photography class were
given an assignment entitled “No Eyes.” The guidelines for the
assignment were simple, to photograph people without showing
their eyes. Here are a few of their photographs:
