When taking these pictures it really challenges you on what you can take pictures since the main principle of photography is the lighting on a picture. I was able to get these 4 pictures with what I had at my disposal and how I play around with the available subjects that were available to me and why I took them in the first place.
Starting with the first image at Foothill, I stayed on campus late one day in order to get some help on an upcoming essay. I decided to take the picture because it was a nod to all the hardworking students that have stayed up late at night making sure they are on track to achieve their dreams. I also looked at it as the light guiding you to a better future and it all started there in that picture.
The second image I took it as a sign to nature showing us it's natural made beauty, it's almost like it's showing us this little abundance of leaves especially with the little light giving it that perfect backlight and everything. I thought it looked really nice in the artificial light and the shadows that it was casting.
The third image I took in the means to capture stars but instead I got these rippled clouds almost looking like waves in the sky. I took this in inspiration to keep your head up even in the darkest of times although it may down now you never know what's to come in the future.
Lastly I took a normal nature photo with a bunch of leaves, I myself as a nature photography lover I decided to include 2 photos with artificial lighting and showcase it's colors even in the darkest of days. It's all about perspective and going out to look for it.
My greatest success was the campus photo since the reason that I took it was really in depth with the photo as a whole and on top of that it was a cloudy day so it added a bit more of an effect on the top part of the image. My greatest challenge was looking for subject to take photos of because it was dark for the most areas and it was a super cloudy night making it harder for me to capture stars or any other things in the sky.
