Landscapes

Landscapes...How exciting! I really enjoy taking these types of photos! Below are the 5 best photos that I took this week. I gave a short explanation of each one and then wrapped everything up at the end.





I took this photo while on a hike out back of my house a couple of days ago. I was a bit surprised to actually see water in this little brook, but it has been on the warmer side the past few days in my area.




This photo was taken at the same time as the previous picture while out on my hike! This was also taken very close to the previous picture as well. I just love how this brook is in the shape of a horse shoe! I was hoping to get a clearer shot of the vast field behind the brook, but there were two many small trees blocking the view!

This photo I took while out on a drive. When I looked over and noticed this spot I pulled right over, got out and snapped the shot! I really like how this looks. The river is still froze, but melting. It helps me to think that Spring will actually make it here!



Since we were allowed to post up to 2 photos from a previous shoot for variety I decided to take advantage of it! This photo I took last summer as the sun went down. This is my most favorite landscape photo that I've ever taken. It was taken just down the road from my house. And that is a barn and silo in the background.



This was the second photo I decided to post from a previous shoot. This was also taken last summer. It was taken of the same barn and silo as above, but was taken from a slightly different angle. And the sun didn't give off as much color going down on that particular day! But I love how the sun is centered right behind the silo and is lighting everything else up around it!

I really enjoyed taking these landscape photos. I had so many others that I would've liked to have shared too! I didn't really use a process for finding the "perfect" area to photograph. While hiking and driving around I just opened my eyes to the areas around me. I was actually surprised because in some spots that I drive past everyday I actually noticed things I hadn't before. It just completely amazes me that I can drive by an area at least once a day and never ever notice certain things about the landscape!

    Nice job with the photos! You had a great use of the rule of thirds as well. My favorite is the 2nd one. The curved brook looks like a smiley face to me, with the brook being the mouth, the smaller pools being the eyes, and the tree the nose! Loved it!

    Hey Nikki,

    Great pictures. I love the first one. So much to look at up close, and such great colors in the background. Nice job.

    The red sunset is awesome, mother nature at her gaudiest. I loved the more intimate winderscapes as well, especially the little stream.Nice curves there and variety of textures.
