On an alluring midwinter afternoon, the mighty rocks, freshwater with different shades of blue, turquoise and the green coastline were all speaking to me. The clear sky allowed the focus to be shifted towards the water and rocks which gives a story to the imagination. This well-captured vertical photograph can be viewed many times, but each time something new can be both seen and imagined.
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.
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.
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.
