I took these photos in a family friend's backyard. He lives right next to this beautiful field which I was able to capture these trees in impressive angles. When taking these photos I wanted to include a background so I took a couple steps back rather get up close. I wanted to convey the fresh feeling and neatness in the field on the left (wheat was cut from a combine and left straight lines throughout). On the photograph on the right, I wanted to show the windy and wavy impression. I used oil paint and diffuse to make the photography seem like an actually painting.
I took these photos in the woods that my family owns. When taking these photos I was trying to show the fall colors both in and out of the woods. In the photo on the left, I had perfect timing and was able to capture a hint of the sun shining within the woods. On the photo on the right, I found a dead tree that was practically surround by life and color. The tree stood with no leaves, but the background made up for it. I felt that I was able to triumph the beauty (especially the picture on the right) that nature had to offer me. I also found that while editing diffuse mode works really well with this picture.
I live on a farm, so my family owns and rents a lot of fields. I was able to go outside and take photos that show the extent of each field. On the left photograph, I wanted to take a picture that showed the tree border and the field itself. On the right photograph, I was able to get down on the ground and show a closer look on what lies on the ground. Surprisingly there is much color. When editing, I was able to highlight the colors more and emphasize the blue sky in the right photograph.
These photos were also taken on my family's property. When taking these photos I wanted to convey the inside of the woods. I really liked how I was able to capture the many leaves on the ground and bring some color into my photos. I find that trees are subjects that I find pleasure of taking of photos of. I just love the classic beauty that trees have. Even though they are simple subjects, they change throughout the year and bring a fresh feeling within the shape and color.
I took these photos in the woods. Mushrooms were practically everywhere! They were all on the ground and trees. Some even didn't even look like a mushroom. I decided to take these photos more closely to show more detail of the mushroom and the areas they were located. In the photo on the left I really like how the mushroom was growing out of a hole in the wood and developing into a standard ideal mushroom. I was able to get close enough that the texture and feel of the wood was on full display. On the photo on the left, I was able to take a picture of a unique mushroom and use oil paint to add more texture to the photo. I wanted to convey the idea of texture in this set of pictures.
