Reflection
While I was doing this assignment, I was doing many different activities with my friends, family, and also just going through my daily life. In the first photo labeled "Tree in the sunset" I was in the car with my father coming back from my Grandparents house and we had to cross through many acres/miles of farmland when the sun started to set. The sun created an orange and purple hue that outlined the trees so well that it prompted me to take a photo of it so I could showcase it in this class or to my friends. In the second photo named "Morning", I was camping with my friends in Halfmoon Bay. On the last day of this camping trip, we woke up to a beautiful view of the sun peaking over the horizon. I saw how the plants looked in my camera and saw how I could take a picture. In the third photo "Fall trees", I was walking my dog and I saw how beautiful the trees looked in contrast to one another and the sky. This inspired me to take a picture to capture how the layers of colors look in the Autumn season. The fourth photo "Lamp" I was also walking my dog with my Grandparents at night during the rainstorms that came around during Thanksgiving. Seeing this lamp lighting up that patch of street like many others around it, made me appreciate how it lit up that specific area that I was in, isolating that area in light while surrounded by darkness. Moving onto the next photo, "Plant" I was camping back in Halfmoon Bay with my friends when I woke up and my hammock I was sleeping in was next to a plant. I was curious about my phone and using different apertures at that time so I was experimenting how it would look with a lower aperture. Whilst doing that I saw how cool the plant looked with a blurrier background so I took that photo. Furthermore in the same area, I took another photo of the surrounding scenery and I noticed several interesting things: I saw how the hills layered over itself, I noticed how the green of the hills greatly contrasted with the blue of the sky, and I saw how the ridgeline divided the sky from the hills. This was several birds with one stone for me when it came to photography techniques. Second to last, "Lamp Post" to me is pretty special because I took this when I was walking out of one of the classrooms at my home Highschool with my football team. For me, many of my memories with my football team are very special and I cherish them greatly. For some background, We did some classroom things such as watching film and preparing for our next game, and when we came out of the classroom to go to the field. I for some reason, stopped for a second and saw how the light of the sun hit the lamp post and the clouds behind it and it highly prompted me to take a photo to capture this. Another photo that happened when I took a second to look around is my last photo, "Sunset on the Road" by me. This was when I was biking home from school and I saw how the sunset created a beautiful orange and it turned darker the further it went down the road. Though I took many photos for this project. I feel that I really enjoyed this especially since I took these photos during my day to day life and was able to showcase the beauty of life if I could just take a second to look around for a little. I want to continue doing this and document/capture moments like the sunsets or little things that I can experience and see through a different lens.
