I had taken this photo in Williams, Arizona. I didn't have a tripod, so the original photo was slightly shaky. On my camera, I had adjusted the aperture to let in as much light as possible, and I decreased the shutter speed in order to get the right exposure. Then in photoshop, I increased the levels in order to eliminate the light flare from the neon sign. Additionally, I cropped the photo so the neon sign was placed slightly to the left-hand side of the photograph.
Christmas eve in Old Town plaza; again, no tripod so the original image was slightly shaky. Using the manual settings on my camera, I decreased the aperture and the shutter speed in order to correctly expose the girl. I didn't want to use a flash, because then the twinkle lights would appear faded and washed out. In photoshop, I shifted the color balance slightly toward cyan. Overall, the image appears unified because of the whitish yellow lights in the background.
I tried taking a photo of a firework exploding on the 4th of July, and the end result was not at all what I expected. My camera had a specific option for fireworks, so I'm exactly sure what settings it incorporated. Probably line and color are the most obvious principles of this photo; the radial lines made by the explosion, and the different colors included within.
