Landscapes
I took these photos at a park downtown I used to go to when I was a kid. I took these at about three in the afternoon and I think that was the perfect time to take them because the lighting was really nice. These are pictures of grass, flowers and rocks in front of a wall. I choose this park because it has a lot of beautiful natural landscapes and plants and things that are good for photos. The emotion i'm trying to convey is wandering, it seems like a random place to take a photo but its really a beautiful area. I think this photo says you can find beauty in random places.
For these second photos I also took them in the park. There's a lake with fish, plants and ducks that seemed like a perfect landscape. I took this photo when the sun was setting to make the lake look kind of golden. I choose this area because I enjoyed looking at the animals and sitting on the bridge when I was little. The emotion i'm trying to convey is happiness, because these photos are bright and colorful.
For these photos I went to a different location. I went down to the Huron River and took photos near the edge. For this first one I took one of the water, and for the second one I took one of the trees. I took these early in the day to get the best lighting, and I think the lighting really shows off the red in the trees/landscape. The emotion i'm trying to convey here is nostalgia, because these photos bring back memories for me.
For these photos I went to a park near my house and took pictures of the trees. I really like how these turned out because I thought they would be too boring. The emotion i'm trying to convey here is joy, because of the colors and the filters I used on these pictures. A few problems I had where trying to get the right lighting. They came out pretty dark at first because the other trees where blocking me.
For these last photos I went to the same park and took a few more pictures of the trees. I had a few more issues with lighting, since the trees got in the way a few times, but they turned out pretty good. These photos are similar to the last ones but I also tried to get more of the ground in so they would look different. A major problem I had with this assignment was that I couldn't find anything but trees to take pictures of. The emotion i/m trying to convey in this photo is calm.
