It took me quite a bit of time to find this eccentric tree. What felt like being lost on a mystical journey, finding this tree was an endeavour that was worth the drive. As I approached this tree and recognized its individuality, I realized that it was worthy of a great photograph which would show off its unique features. With this came having to patiently wait for the sun to move to the perfect spot which would then appear to have the entire tree glistening due to the sun’s rays. This beautiful shot was worth the long wait as it is scenes like this which reveal the beauty and uniqueness of the trees in our world.
The infamous border of New Jersey and New York, with skylines and city life, skyscrapers, and an active, never sleeping population. This skyline needed to be photographed no matter the circumstance. As I had set up my equipment on the Statue of Liberty Island, my hands turned to ice, and I could barely lift the camera since this photograph was
taken in January. Even with these obstacles and a few hours of waiting for the perfect scenery, this sensational view came to be.
With not only beauty but history, this photograph consists of the Ellis island where many immigrants including Armenians fled to in 1915 as well as the Brooklyn Bridge which was the first-ever roadway that connected Manhattan and Brooklyn.
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.
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.
