Let it Snow



Taking advantage of the snow that had fallen all day, we went out to take photos of the snow. By the time we had gone out, the snow was slowly melting away and you could see the water drops. I wanted to show how the snow was beginning to melt so I took the photos of the little leaves with water droplets and a patch of remaining snow. I also saw how the decorations of the memorial were slightly covered in snow but still managed to look colorful and patriotic. For both photos I had my mode dial on portrait so it could focus on whats on the front-ground of the image and burr out the background. The f-stop is 5.6 and the shutter speed was 1/125 for the second photo and 1/160 for the first photograph.

Leading Lines


For this photo it needed to express leading lines. It was difficult for me to choose something that showed this. So in order to get something similar I got really close to the tree in order to get the affect of  of a "path" leading up the tree. I personally liked this photo but I don't think its the best representation of leading lines.
