Month: February 2016

I challenge you to continue on your project.

I am working on my images that I photographed in the Central California Valley. Besides blooming trees there are many fields of mustard’s growing everywhere.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

With the quadcopter I was able to photograph down to an almost 90 degree angle. In this image I did just the opposite. I moved the camera close to the trunk and shot straight up.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

After the Almond trees started to blossom other trees are following like those fruitless trees on the streets in Merced, CA.

Enjoy the image and keep on photographing!

 

I drove a little bit out of town and found this Orchard full of blooming trees. I focused on one blooming branch and used the trees as background.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

Photographing with a quadcopter opens up so many possibilities. I flew the quadcopter very close to the tree to catch the trunk and the shadow of the tree.

Enjoy and keep on creating great images!

 

I challenge you to start a project! Pick a theme and photograph it for the next two weeks and produce a collage. I live in the central California Valley and the trees are in full bloom. Therefor I picked the them Spring in the Valley.

I went out this morning and photographed with the help of my quadcopter. These trees are already shedding their blossoms and it looks like there is snow on the ground!

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

 

I took this image this morning. I was looking for a subject and then the sun came out.

Enjoy and keep on working on your images!

 

I photographed the Golden Gate bridge at the golden hour. I put the bridge into the lower left corner. The foothills are basically aligned with the bridge. Another interesting aspect is the warm cold contrast in the sky.

Wnjoy and keep on working on your images!

 

I was photographing in Yosemite NP today and I thought I would post this image of Bridalveil Fall. What do you think? Does it work or is the tree too strong? Where are your eyes going in this image? Normally they go to the brightest point first. On the other side the dark tree branches can work like a magnet.

Enjoy and keep on creating interesting images!

I challenge you to continue last week’s exercise and place your subject in on of the four corners. By now you realized,if you have done this exercise, that a clear subject is essential.  You also learned that the background has to help to bring out and point tot he subject. The more contrast there is between background and subject the more the subject can shine.

My wife discovered this owl sitting on a branch. There is hardly any color contrast in this image since the owl blends in perfectly. Ans still. the form of the owl is in total contrast to the branches of the trees.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!
