Landscape








I really enjoyed this assignment. I have 7 photos that I would like to share with the class. All of which are taken in different areas of Vermont, and New Jersey. Can you tell the difference? Well, the first photo on the list is that of a farm outside the town of Weston, VT. I thought that lighting was better earlier in the day, but unfortunately I didn't have a camera at the time. The second photo was taken in Weston. Behind the Weston Play House there is an old saw mill that has been turned into a museum. I really enjoyed this photo. Next up is a shot of a rail road crossing in Danby. I tried taking this photo from many different angels, and this was the best. The following shot was taken off of Taber Hill RD in between Landgrove, VT and Danby. This shot was a simple but not an easy shot to take. It was pretty slippery trying to get this focal point. The next shot was taken off the same road. The focal point was looking down into the valley of Danby. Finally, I get to the two NJ shots. First, I took a picture of a lone tree in the middle of this farm. I originally took the photo as part of my composition assignment, but decided that it would probably work better as a landscape. Last was my favorite of this assignment. I had to do a little digital enhancing to this photo, but I really like the eeriness of this dead tree with the fiery sky. I hope that you enjoy these photos, and please critique these good and bad to let me know if I am on the right track. Happy 4th!

  1. I think you did a great job with these photos. The color is clear and the lighting is good. I agree with you on the erriness of the dead tree with the fiery sky; that is great pic.

  2. My favorites here are the last two... I am struck by certain qualities of composition in both; I like the simplicity of each, and how the main subject stands prominently in the photo. In the first, the large, majestic tree, and in the second, the tight clump of trees, seem to be accentuated quite well by their placement. Good eye!

  3. The last photo is really unique, I love the dead trees surrounded by the green and the soft pink hue of the sky adds a nice touch.
