Reflection: Completing this project was difficult for me at first because I felt stuck on what to take photos of. I realized I spend a lot of time driving and being outside so I could use that to my advantage for my photos. I added the black and white filter in order to create a sense of mystery to the photos. For some it also makes them more eerie which I really like. It was a little difficult as I am only limited to my iphone camera but I think the pictures came out pretty for what I had. I really appreciate when other photographers take pictures of the horizon so it inspired me to do the same. My favorite picture would have to be the last because I think the clouds are outlines beautifully.
