Photograph a Scene Throughout a Day- Erin

 





I took these photos a few weeks ago and realized I never posted this, so I'm submitting it now. I took these pictures on a rainy day just outside of my apartment. Compositionally I don't find these particularly interesting but they do effectively demonstrate the changing quality of light. The first photograph was taken around 10 am, on an overcast and rainy morning. The colors are vibrant but compositionally the photograph is lacking. There is little detail in the picture beyond the water droplets. The second picture is my favorite. The sky had cleared and I loved the detail you could see on the leaves. There is much more depth in this picture. The third picture was taken aroun 3, and you can see a decent amount of detail but the colors are washed out and not particularly interesting. The final photograph has more depth of feild but compositionally is not particularly interesting.

My old neighborhood was a place where wildlife struggled to survive, and even if it had thrived, it would have still been inaccessible. The streets were more often filled with the remnants of human activity than the signs of nature. An occasional dog would wander the alleys. Sometimes, the aftermath of raccoons would leave a trail—scraps of trash scattered across the concrete, a testament to their nocturnal scavenging. Living in a place like this taught me how to hold immense gratitude for nature, unders tanding that the wealthy and middle classes tend to have more access, snow sports and family vacations that I would never experience myself. This motivated me to carve out time and seek out natural beauty, waterfronts and forest days that I prioritized. I feel immense privilege in having transitioned t...
