From a High Angle
This week wasn't so bad capturing images from a high angle. I already posted about Dave and I's weekend trip to New Mexico and I purposefully took some pictures from a high angle so I could use them for my photography challenge. Here is what I came up with:
A dessert plant (don't know the name) but it's pretty and prickly! I can attest to that because I brushed up on one.
ISO 400 f/9 SS 1/400
ISO 100 f/9 SS1/800
The sand ripples - I think they are rather beautiful
ISO 100 f/9 SS1/640
I've heard photographers complain about the 'sun spots' but I personally think it makes pictures look more magical. What are your thoughts on those? I don't feel like this picture is crisp and clear but I was warned in a pamphlet at the dunes that the sand is hard to capture.

On another photography note I finally bought an on-line class so I can learn Light Room. I don't even know how to upload and save my pictures in there. ha ha!

ReplyDeleteI love sun spots! I purposefully try for them sometimes. The sand picture looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love sun spots, and I really like that picture. Yes it isn't perfectly clear. But you get the feeling of all the heat coming off the sand, I love when pictures can give you a sense of what it would feel like to be there!
ReplyDeleteThanks! =)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I am not the only one who loves sunspots! =) I love sand pictures too. I think they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that picture. It gives you a big perspective of the area.
ReplyDeleteI feel like sun spots depend on the photo subject. Large open landscapes like yours, it usually adds because there is a lot more empty space, but I think when there's more going on it distracts. But it's one of those things that's kind of personal preference anyways.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about it from that perspective. I can see how it would be distracting if there were lots of other things going on in the picture.
ReplyDeleteWoahhh these photos are all awesome! That plant does look prickly, and those sand ripples are so neat.
