So pretty this year. Azaleas, dogwoods, golden ragwort, and fuzzy-topped trees are all competing with each other for best-in-show eye candy.

Glade Stream

The challenge this week was to shoot a photo in the “Accidental Renaissance” style. I had to look it up. The Golden Ratio is supposed to be involved, but not being anything close to a mathematician, I had to guess at the balance in my composition. There are no Fibonacci spirals in this photo, which was one option. The other uses extremes of light and dark and a bit of soft focus to place the elements of the photo in several non-equal rectangles. I got the light, dark, and soft focus, but I think the balance between my large and smaller (use your imagination) rectangles might be a bit off. I didn’t do the math.

Week 11: Fill the Frame (with one color)
 
Very challenging as everything you look at is made up of many colors, even those things that seem like only one color. I took some closeups that were contenders for this week’s challenge, but kept coming back to this image of winter’s coloration of brown on brown on brown.

Week 5: Symmetry in Landscape

This was a very difficult assignment, particularly as I limited myself to searching for symmetry in a landscape that did not include people or anything manmade. I went out just after a snowfall on one of the coldest days of the year so far and found my shot at a nearby regional park. You can say if this works or not for you, but here’s what I saw: symmetry in the two foreground trees, symmetry in the two background trees framed by the two foreground trees, and symmetry of the shadow created by the left-hand foreground tree. Side note: note the blowing snow. It was cold out there!!

My back yard is the woods. I went for a walk and picked a bouquet of wildflowers this week.

Week 13: The Golden Hour (before sunrise or after sunset)–a story
#dogwood2017

#dogwoodweek13

Two different evenings (I am not a morning person), two different light experiences. I couldn’t decide between two and so I am breaking what is surely some rule that says to post only one shot. I am posting two this week. Feedback appreciated. Which photo works better within the theme?
