Its been a way too long since my last post, but the end of the fall semster and the holidays were pretty busy times for me and I was not on the computer a lot during most of it. I have also been working on a professional portfolio video that took a lot of time and which I am happy to say is finally finished. Click the link below to check it out:
This semester I am taking a narrative photography class where we really will be learning about story telling in our photography. Before that begins to take up all my time, I thought I would post some of the winter and snowy scenes that I have taken over the last few weeks
I took this photo while looking out the 5th floor window at work. I loved the texture of the clouds, the fact that their are a few crows in it and a small streak on the left -- I think from a plane
This one is one of the walls by the library. I loved how even though it has been really cold, we still have some color with the ivy and the berries and I loved that the branches make an arch
Some ice on the sidewalk. I loved the shapes that it made
Again this is all about the color and I loved the way the bright sun made the shadows on the fence ...
Found this leaf hanging out on the blacktop -- it reminded me of a four leaf clover and it was one of those right place right time moments, a gust of wind blew it away right after I got my shot ...
Some pinecones in the yard by my place. I loved the contrast of the brown and green and the little bit of snow ...
A little stone walk way, again by my apartment. The afternoon light on the bushes to the left made me have to take this shot.
Believe it or not this is a branch in a tree that is crazily twisted. It reminded me of a snake and the light just seemed to draw my focus ti it even more.
Taken on my walk home Tuesday night. there was just enough snow to make everything look frosted. I used the street lights which made it look a smidge pink, but I like the effect
Again it looks like the branches were frosted and I love the messy pattern...
Close up of the branches. I really love the depth the faded background gives this
Again using the available street lighting. It was just enough that the background just drops off and I love the effect ...
This one is all about the shape and of course the light--
The next 3 photos are some I have been looking at and planning for a bit. I walk by these bikes all the time and notice the reflection. Having the snow there made them even more fun.
I took this one using the natural street lights -- however, I had my camera on auto white balance and it came out with really yellow tones. I was going to try and convert it but the more I look at it, the more I like the mood the yellow creates
I took more and converted this one to black and white and really love what it does for the contrast
A little closer and a different angle -- I love how I captured not only the shadows from the bike, but also the footprints in the snow
I really enjoyed taking some of these snowy photos and especially playing with the ones at night. Thanks as always for sharing my photos with me.
