Landscape - Isa

 These pictures were taken at Clarks Point. It was around sunset, very cold but beautiful. I do like these pictures a lot; however, I feel that there are a lot in frame. Which inevitably draws attention away from the sunset. It also makes it harder to focus on one thing, given that there is much to look at. From the lighting to the colors, there is a lot going on in this picture. I feel that I should have messed with the exposure more because these pictures, although vibrant, are very bright. Same for the shutter, I feel that if I messed with the settings more, I could've focused down on singular objects. Despite the different variables in this picture being busy, I feel that you can see the details clearly. Even when you focus on the greenery around, you can see the details on the leaves. Going back to the sun, the off-centerness of the sun was purposeful because it somewhat forces the viewer to look at the lighting that the sun gives rather than just the sun. I do really like the glare that comes off the sun. I think it draws the viewer to focus on the sort of horizon that the sun glare creates. I would say that my favorite feature of these pictures is the sun reflection through the leaves and the way it casts on the beach. Even down to the driftwood on the beach, it sort of absorbs that sun's rays in a very beautiful way. The highlights in these pictures are also very nice to the eye. I feel that it brings attention to the natural contours of the objects in these photos.
