One of my favorite parts of photography is wandering around with my camera with no particular time limit or destination. This past Saturday was a beautiful day and I wandered all over. I took photos of things that I found intersting and fun. I have a ton but these are some of my favorites that caught my eye or I experimented with ...
I loved the colors of the mountains and how the flag was highlighted -- I wanted to get a little closer but since I took it from the overpass with my zoom lens I really couldn't . Like the overall scene
These rocks were grouped toghether in the middle of campus. I think it was done purposely. I loved the shadows and the colors -- they reminded me of big Dinosaur eggs like you see in the Flintstones
Of course my travels took me to the duck pond -- the ice was melting and the fish were coming to the surface. I caught these two beauties and thought I would share :D
I took this one for the pattern. I'm not sure what kind of seed pods they are but the 4 of them were just hanging down so nicely with and I loved the light and blue backdrop.
Took this one because of the shapes and the colors. I love the metal work on the lights on campus. I thought this was especially fun because the cloud was right in line with the bottom curl ...
More architecutre -- this is from one of the sides of Old Main. What caught my eye was the lighting on the balcony. I also liked all the lines from the windows, bricks and the lantern. My eye was happy
An ordinary tree but the way the light hit all the tiny branches made them glow and it was so pretty
More glowing -- the natural light made these wintery brown flowers look shiny and gold
This was for the color patterns -- an orange bike and an orange wall -- couldn't resist and then all the wheels made it even more interesting.
This is about perspective. This building has a huge open area to the sky. Yes I was on the ground to take this photo
Another view of the open space in the ceiling. I loved all the colors and the shapes -- so fun
I loved how these branches intersected -- fun with shapes
This is now one of my new favorite trees on campus. I love the color of the bark and how the many branches intersect and reach out. I can see so many different things -- it just depends on how you look
This was two different parts of the tree-- I loved how the light made them sparkle and also the way they reached out for each other.
More about the shapes -- I loved all the different layers of the branches
This one is all about the light. These plants were glowing and I loved all the shapes they made
This one is about shape and shadows and being in the right place at the right time. I was looking at the arches and thought it was fun how they made all the different size squares and they still had some vine on them. Then I noticed the shadows of people who were talking off to the left ...
I was drawn to this for several reasons -- the blue sky, red berries and yellowish bricks complimented each other very nicely and then there is the shadow from the tree which adds contrast and depth to the whole scene
I really liked the color of these leaves and the different textures also. I also likes the lines created by the branches. Makes it pop out
The last series is take as it was getting darker. The moon was out and almost full. I saw it in the sky over the tree tops and thought it would make a cool photo. It took several tries to get it lined up the way I wanted but I was pleased with this one
I liked this one because it kind of looked like the middle of a sling shot ....
Waited for the sky to get a little darker. I like how the moon is sitting on the branch
I moved so that it looked like the branches were holding the moon like a ball of energy
I love this one for the colors and the shapes and how they fade up from dark to light and the tree gets thinner at the top of the frame
These branches really looked spooky and like they were going to pounce
This was high in a tree -- I like it because it looks like part of a heart or someone shrugging their shoulders.
Thanks as always for sharing my photos. I really did have fun just wandering around. I think I was out for 4 hours on that beautiful day. I just love finding new and different ways of capturing things that we may see everyday.
