I took these pictures while on a hike with a friend. It was the first warm day this whole spring so we thought it would be nice to go walk in nature. In these pictures I tried to capture the silhouettes of the trees while the sun was rising. At this time of year the trees aren't blossomed with flowers or covered in leaves so I tried to show the beauty of trees even without them. These pictures represent the refreshing feel of a new day or a new morning.
I went to take pictures at the Huron River because it is very pretty. While the trees are all mostly brown without leaves, the water seems to bring more life to the photos. I tried to capture the texture of the rippling water from the light breeze. I also wanted to show the simplicity and pureness of the area, as all you can see is trees and water into the far distance. These photos are also meaningful to me because I come here with my family a lot.
I took pictures of a path in the woods because I thought it looked cool and had significance. The path is shown in both pictures turning and not seeing the end. I think these show how life is and how you might not know where your going but you choose to go anyway. I tried to show the texture of the path and the shadows of the trees on the path from the morning sun. The trees give the picture height and draw your eyes throughout the image so I wanted to capture those in the picture as well.
I took some pictures of early blooming trees because they had a lot of green and color. In the picture on the left I tried to capture the sun's reflections in the leaves which casted cool shadows as well. In the other image I tried to get the sky in the picture because the blue brought more life and color into the picture. I like how one picture only has a hint of blue sky and the other a majority of the picture shows blue sky. These pictures show the incoming spring.
These pictures are of an evening sunset at the park. I took them because they had pretty colors. I like going to the park or on walks in the evenings with my family so these have meaning to me. I tried to show the texture of the trees while not drawing too much attention too them. I also wanted to capture the texture of the cloud in the sky.
