Landscapes... Mud Creek Road & School

OK, so I "sold out" here and went with the "sunrise". We've talked some in class about how the sunrise (or set) can be such a cliché when you don't really "work for it". Here I break my own advice and sit in my car, shooting out the driver's window. Yes, I was pulled over and stopped. I did creep ahead and alter the zoom factor to get some other POVs, but honestly, I didn't work it very hard because I liked what I saw the first time. That happens sometimes, but work for a different shot anyway because you never know, and thinking your shot is always good makes you complacent as a photographer!



The last one here I took on the way into school yesterday morning, around 7 a.m..

  1. I like the first one the best because the light is the brightest and it reflects off the trees. But how I like how the second one shows a little bit of the sky.

  2. i think the first picture is my favorite because it makes the leaning tree a focal point (spotlighted by the sun) and you get a quick little glimpse of the waterscape behind it and the trees on the other side.

  3. I agree, the second one is really cool. I like the beam of light shining through the branches.

  4. I like the first one the best, also. The color from the sun really adds to the photo.

  5. The first one is my favorite because I really get a feel of the sun's heat and light. The second one looks like it would make a good desktop background.

  6. I like the second one the best, just because I think the color really pops out. I also like the outline of the trees.

  7. I like the first and second one because the sun is bringing a warmness to the photo and I also like how the lighting is only shining against the top half of the trees in the third photo.

  8. The thing that really caught my eye was the little bit of water showing through the trees. I think that, along with the trees on the other side of the water, makes the pictures really beautiful.

  9. I like the shadows in the third one. The light tops of the trees and more shadow at the bottom of the trees. It makes for a great photograph.

  10. I think that the first and second really capture the moment beautifully. The colors are exquisite and the way the sun literally just bursts out of the trees is really beautiful and eye catching.
