Nature

With this photo set, I focused on nature. I tried to capture the beauty and detail of the natural features found around my house. I ended up mostly taking pictures of flowers; at least, those ended up being the ones I liked best. After having done a few days' worth of photos, I've noticed a pattern emerging in my photography- I love taking close-up pictures, often with shallow depths of field. What I find makes photos look most interesting is when there is a distinct difference between what is in focus and what is not. Definitely my favorite photos that I've taken are close-up shots of plants, which is mostly what this set is composed of. My favorite photograph here is of a small field of wild bloodroot flowers, with one in focus and the rest blurry. I think it portrays the importance of individuality quite well. It makes for an interesting shot. The other one that stood out to me in particular is the picture of the acorn on the rocky path- something about the composition that I can't quite put my finger on makes it stand out. My father, who used to be a photographer, identified that as his favorite as well.
