Photography as an Art

I have not posted anything in a while and the last thing you would think I would put up is a squirrel with garbage. Well, I'm different and this is what I consider to be a photography moment. While I was waiting near a park, I heard a critter making noise. When I turned around, I saw a squirrel in the garbage. It was strange at one point, but instead of moving away like most people would do, I took a picture of him. A few actually. This is what squirrels do when there are no nuts or acorns for them to eat. They start digging in the garbage. I like this picture because it shows you the dark outline of the creature and what he is going to eat by the small light that is shinning on him. It is very cool and interesting at the same time. This is because of the way the sun it reflecting off the top of the garbage.   This picture is a little bit different than the first. It shows the squirrel walking along the edge of the garbage can. It is like he is searching for someth...

The world and its animals are very different when you look at the ones that no one may really pay attention too. What I have seen is different and amazing. Where the animal may go is a mystery, but you can see part of their journey in that moment. It all becomes fascinating. These creatures are different than what anyone may first think of when you say the word caterpillar. Yes these are them and they are very different then what you may see in an apple. This picture shows how they are walking across the leaf. The way their fur is on their bodies are in a unique pattern and it makes then stand out from any other.     Bees are what some people may see as annoying and others as insects to stay away from because they are allergic. I think that they are very interesting. This picture shows the wings of the bee and how the yellow design is lighter than the color on the bees body. There is a white line across his head and the black color is spread across its body. T...

Something that everyone sees in New York but sometimes passes without realizing it. The Empire State Building is amazing when it comes to the height of it and the view from up top. You can see everything from the buildings to the horizon to the people that look like ants on the sidewalk. It is very beautiful and you will see that you are in New York when you look out to the different river landmarks and the brand names on the buildings. It is a perfect picture when you can capture the light on the building in the distance. Your eye is drawn to that building and then you see the water and the buildings that are surrounding it. With how the bars are depicted in the picture, it looks like you are looking at separate pieces of a landscape as well.   This picture you can see that the middle bar is very close to the horizon. You can see that above it is the sky and its colors as the sun is setting. The bottom is the buildings where the sun is hitting the sides of the buil...

I know that you will get tired of my flower pictures eventually. But there are so many out there that it is too amazing to not take a picture of them! What I am going to show you now is pictures of pink flowers. The reason for the "Pink Promise" title is because when I saw these flowers I thought of when people give each other flowers, they are in different colors and forms. The saying popped in my head and it was something that I wanted to stick with. Each flower is different and I will explain the uniqueness of them and why I chose to photograph them. This particular flower is unique when it comes to the petals and how they are surrounding the center of the flower. Each petal may look like the same size but they are not. The yellow center brings out the smaller petals. The light from the camera gives you the focus on the center of the flower and brings you out to the rest of the flower.   This picture shows the curves of the flower and how the center whe...

One thing that everyone loves to take pictures of is animals . If it is not their own or a friends pet, it is an aquatic mammal, fishes, land creatures, etc. Each is unique and has their own pattern as well as their own ecosystem. What I am going to show you is not pictures of a pet, but pictures of creatures that are all around us. We may not be able to see them because of their camouflage, and others it is easier to see them. But they are all beautiful and look amazing in nature.  In this picture at the bottom and closer to the left, there is a type of dragonfly. It is green and it is hard to see him because of the color. When it comes to the colors of animals, it is cool if they are faded in with nature.   With this mayfly, the picture is focusing more on the detail of the wings and the bottom half of its body then the entire bug. It has different shades of brown and the shapes are different in the wings from the lower half of the body.   ...

I know I have not posted anything in a while and I apologize for that. With all of the work I have been doing, it has become a busy couple of weeks for me. But I do have some news and new photographs to show you. :) Recently I have spoken with a very close friend of mine and she has given me an idea. Since I love to write, and photography is like my second hobby, I am going to be creating a photography book. It will take a little longer than my self-published books, but I am willing to do it. Many of my photographs in the book will not be just what you see up here on my blog. I take pictures of different subjects and aspects all of the time. But now I will be able to show all of the different ideas I have when it comes to photography. I am very excited and will hopefully have this completed as soon as I can. On another note : I do have some pictures to show you. Have you ever wondered what the sun would look like behind a tree? Or even behind a pair of sunglasses? ...

 When it comes to the angle of taking a picture, how you would like the color to be portrayed in the setting is an important part too. Maybe you want to try taking a picture of something that cast a lot of shadows to make it look dark, or have light where there is only a little shadow and you give the object more depth depending on where the shadow is.        This picture shows how the light from the sun is showing a little bit of shadow in the flower. It gives off depth and the detail in the flowers as well. The cluster of flowers makes the picture have more life as well.   The pink flower is ready for its close-up! You can see the detail in every petal and the light that is present captures enough to show you how 3-D the flower really is.   This red rose is in a different position in the picture then all the others. You can see the leafs as well as all of the petals that are falling to the bottom of the flower. It gives it that m...
