My intention in this photo was to capture the amazing rolling mountains and to also capture the glistening white snow that covers them. I wanted to make sure it is obvious that the mountains seem to roll on forever, and that there is a feeling of cold, and yet warmth amidst it. I think I captured the vastness of the scene. I wish I could have taken it while one more mountain was still visible. There is an enormous mountain in the background of the picture, but it is covered by the incoming snow. I like this photo a lot.
This next photo was taken of a little farm on the edge of a lake where my boyfriend and I kayak in the warmer months. I love that in the background is yet another mountain, and that in the foreground, there are all those baby geese. My intention was to capture the geese with the mountain in the background as I have doen and then I realized that I managed to capture a cloud moving just in front of the mountain. I really like that touch. It makes the photo seem almost dream-like. If I could change it, I might have zoomed in a little further, to capture the geese more closely.
I love the colors in this photo. That was the intention...to show the difference in the vibrant colors. Because of the angle the photo was taken at, it adds to the height of the trees and ultimately, the interest of the photo. I wish I could have centered that orange tree just a tad bit more.
This is a picture taken in Upstate New York of a farm nearby where we were visiting this past summer. The idea was to make the orange sky really pop, but I think it works even more with the farm off in the distance as well. The grass in the foreground adds depth and draws your eye downwards. The picture has a feeling of relaxation and warmth and it makes me happy to think about it.
This last photo was taken from my balcony when the moon was just amazingly bright. I really wanted to capture the bold brightness of the moon while showing some of the surrounding valley. I wish the photo were slightly brighter, however, lightening the photo also makes the moon less bold, so I went on a whim and kept the valley dark. I also wish there were some foreground in the picture to add depth. That would make it perfect!
Gorgeous photos! My favorites are the first and third photos. I think that you were successful in your intent in this first, capturing the rolling moutains. Very interesting view. I love the framing of the photo between the background and the snowy pine trees. Awesome winter photo. The third is stunning. I like that it really shows the differences between seasons in VT. Between the bright blue sky, light green leaves and orange/red leaves, there is a great variety of colors that allows our eye to wonder through the photo and never find a dull aspect. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of pictures. I love the first photo and how everything blends so nicely in the picture. It goes right from trees to mountains to sky. I love all of the ones in between but I think my favorite is the last one with the moon. It is mesmerizing to me. I feel like there should be a wolf in the corner howling to the moon. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYour moon shot is lovely. This is very hard to capture and you did a great job, just enough light to see the foreground, but nice and clear big moon. I also love the first one of the snowy mountainscape. Excellent shot even though the contrast is minimal. The grays depict a true middle-of-the-snowstorm feel, as only they can.
