As I am sure lots of people had the same issue, I had a hard time finding some landscaping in the winter that wasn't boring... There is so much, but not much color contrast. I also work 5 days a week, and natural lighting is very limited when I get out of work. I tried to capture interesting pictures that had sunlight as well.
The first photo, is one that I took while in NYC last summer. My intent was to capture this building, as well as the road signs at an interesting angel. This helps to show how really small we are...
This next photo is a view from my deck. I have many tall trees surrounding my property, and in the summer, you cannot see through all the leaves.
This photo is on the driveway to our horse barn. I really liked the way the sun was casting shadows, and the diagonal rule of thirds seemed to apply.
This photo is of the covered bridge on Route 30 in Dummerston, near our horse barn. I had a hard time finding a spot to pull the car over, and get an unobstructed view of the bridge, as well as capture a pleasing angel. It was starting to get dusk, so the lighting seems to give this photo a monochromatic feel.
This last photo is a picture of the uninterrupted pastures at the horse barn. The snow is glazed with ice, and the sun's reflection was beautiful. This also is a picture using the rule of thirds.
I love the one of the covered bridge. It is indeed an excellent monochromatic photo. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job finding some interesting lighting! I like the soft light filtering through the trees and the one with the reflection off the snow. Brrrr....it looks cold!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, the photo of the building it has nice bold lines and presents strength! We are definitely small in comparison! I like bridges and find that they have such rich history and you've captured this one on a dreary day and seems to make the photo feel from olden days with the grey hues. I love the last photo with the untouched snow glisten on the ice crusted snow and the sun peeking through! Very nice work. I picuture with the sun shadowing/peeking through the trees gives the picture a cozy feel.
ReplyDeleteI also work five days a week and had the same struggle of capturing different lighting. I love the skyscraper photo. I think that the view really makes the photo. I like the color scheme while the sky and building blend and the green sign and beneath that helps give the photo a bit more city spunk. I also really like the one with the sunlight reflecting through the trees. The diagonal twist on this photo is really appealing and the way that the sun reflects through the floor of the snow covered woods is really great. Good job!
ReplyDeleteYour last shot is a real winner. That low horizon light glittering on the snow creates a leading line for the eye into the background of the photo. Really awesome!
