Walking by the green hills with lofty trees and cool blue water numbed me from the bright colors this world has to offer. When I saw this vibrant yellow tree, it was like a shock that hypnotized me, making me want to walk closer to it. It was the only tree of its kind placed on the hill. Like a magnet, it drew me in. I immediately set up my equipment and waited for the warm and bright sun to shine through the branches to save the look and singularity of this tree. This foreground creates a unique view to the greenish and bluish Olympic Peninsula.
As I waited for the dull and somber clouds to fade, they soon became a part of the picture I wanted to capture. When the wavelength of light reflected onto the clouds, it brought the picture to life through brightening the atmosphere, darkening the powerful rocks, and displaying the water as a cool and still blue. The similar appearance between the calm water and silk clouds, both being smooth and leveled, presents an eye-catching contrast when transitioning between the water and sky. The aged and rugged rocks protruding out of the water with hills nearby made me feel like I was visiting all of my favorite elements at once.
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.
I was looking for a field of lilies and stumbled at this magical scenery. While I was taking photographs I realized that there was no place quite like it. Hundreds of thousands of lilies occupied this field with a nearby narrow stream a few yards to the left leading to the ocean. The tranquil flow of water, calm breeze, and chirping of birds heading back to their nests as the day drawed to an end made me feel comforted and warm inside.
This valley caught my eye as the vast number of lilies extended far out into the horizon. The strong floral smell and picturesque scenery made me feel secure and comforted, reminding me of home. The great number of flowers reminded me that being together with the ones you love is what produces comfort and openness. Just like the flowers open petals reaching up towards the warm sun, love is a similar warm feeling.
