In photography, capturing the moment that holds meaning and a place in your heart is what gives the photo its value. This horseshoe lookalike consists of the Colorado River which flows through Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. I had traveled here four times in the past but kept on wanting to come back to take a flawless photo.
The dark blue and endless flow of water, color-changing rocks, and its height measuring one-thousand feet high spoke to me.
The Golden Gate Bridge is an attraction that lures millions each year to San Francisco, California. I have seen many photographers try to take a photo of the entire bridge, but I find that it takes away the small and meticulous detail that can only be seen up close. This thought then gave me the inspiration to only photograph half of this remarkable bridge.
Being so close to the bridge allowed for the careful and precise measurements that went into making this bridge to be seen. Beyond the bridge, there are whirling clouds that watch over the sky. The shiny waters and blue sky complements the bridge’s red color and ties in every component together.
had spent a long drive and late night searching for a great site. Just as the sun had risen perfectly to engulf the inner portion of the arch, I witnessed the relationship between lighting and positioning.
With capturing this photograph came great timing as there would be only a few minutes until the burning orange color of the sun would no longer be, losing this photograph’s individuality. As the sun’s rays hit the arch, it caused a focal point then allowing one to look under and out into the open landscape with various pillars of rocks.
With our busy lives and constant hassle, it’s important to sometimes pause and look around. Without realizing, most of the moments you want
to enjoy pass as you are too busy with other distractions.
When finding this eye catching waterfall which is over 225 feet tall on a hidden path with gleaming sunlight, countless logs, and different
shapes and sizes of rocks, I was struck with intensity by realizing that it is these beautiful moments in life that can pass by quickly just like the water which swiftly flows down the stream. This realization made me appreciate the power of photographic technology and how through both the lens in my eyes and my camera, I can capture the moments that I want to hold onto endlessly.
