Photos of Spring

I'm finally going to be talking about photography! I have to warn you though, I don't really know how to set the camera up (things like the ISO and other settings) but I understand composition! If you want to see a great photography blog, look at my friend McCauley's blog!

With these photos I went outside and tried to find something worthy of a picture. I didn't have anyone to take pictures of, so I took pictures around my house. Right now everything is still dead and we don't have any snow. I tried to work a little bit more with perspective and different angles. I also took pictures with anything that was somewhat green. I got a few fun shots, but what do you think?

This is a path on the side of my house. I blurred the edges just a little bit to help
your eyes follow the stepping stones. I  also changed this to sepia because I liked
the feel of the picture.

Here are some tulip buds. When ever I see these popping out
I get excited because summer is almost here!

These flowers always bloom first at my house. They are unique and they
are the first to appear during spring! I blurred this around the edges because
I really wanted to add emphases to the purple. 

Here are the first blades of grass that are green in my yard! Summer's coming! 

This is an archway in my yard. I really like the texture of the
metal and how the arch looks from this angle. 

Because the stepping stone and plant go off the 'page' I think
it adds interest! I like how the stone looks against the soil because of
the contrast.    

I really like this picture. I don't know why but I think it's
one of my favorites!

I also worked a little bit with depth and tried to focus on ether the flower, the 'wheat' (I know it's not wheat but I don't know what to call it!), the soil, or the pot. I think they looked pretty cool!

When you are taking pictures of anything you need to be sure that you know what you want your image to portray. If there is an emotion that you want people to feel when they look at your picture you've got to try and create it with your composition or editing. Just remember to always try and see things from a different perspective because not only are things more interesting, but you might be able to see something that you didn't see before.

See ya!
