On my road trip to Florida, I drove on Blue Ridge Parkway and I started at the Sunrise! So I drove down the Parkway, somewhere on the top, and saw this view. I had to stop and take few pictures around this area. I then noticed there was the Moon setting right above me, so I put my camera on the Tripod and set it on high shutter and set it on the timer. I wanted to set the timer so I wouldn't touch the camera to cause any vibration because the moon was tiny in the sky so it would be blurry if I hold the camera myself. However, I noticed that because the sun haven't rise over the mountains, so the shutter caught the shadow and made it exactly as it should be. When I transferred this picture to my laptop, I enhanced colors by saturation, very little because there are so many colors in the forest that if I enhanced just little more, it would be blurry or look fake. It took me a while to get this good shot.
This picture was taken in Tampa, Florida; at a Nature park. I took few pictures in this same area and most of those pictures did not come out well because of the Sun. I came across this picture and it was little too bright, however I decided to changed it to sephia. From my surprise, it drastically reduce glares by the Sun. I liked how sephia made shadows on trees to stand out of the picture.
This picture was taken at another Nature park in Tampa, Florida. I did something different this time, I looked up. I took lot of landscape pictures with grounds to show the land. So I thought that I could find some great landscape (actually more of "Skyscape") up above the ground. so I found this part of this forest and find it neat that trees seem to form a hold right in the middle.
I saw this tree, small one just right below the giant ancient tree. I liked how the big tree made everything dark with the shadow, however kept the sun shining on the young tree. It seems that The old tree is caring of this young tree in the picture. It was taken in Tampa, Florida also.
We were leaving the nature park, and luckily I decided to take a quick look at my side to appericate the beauty then saw this view. The ground was so flat and freshly green grass were so healtly. So I kneel on the ground and shot this picture with my camera because I wanted to get the ground take over more than half in the photograph. I used the Black and White button on my camera to shoot this picture. I did not edit this picture, because the Sun was shining right above so made the shadow great for this photograph.
It was taken in St. Peterburgs, Florida, at a beach. I liked the view so I took lot of pictures on this beach. It was great because there were no people walking around on the beach so it was perfect. I happened to snap this picture when the bird flew by. Dark Clouds in the background was from the Tropical Storm by Mexico so it helped the contrast in the sky with the color from Sun.
This was taken at a Wildness trail and swamp, outside of Clearwater, Florida. We were walking on the path and noticed that the water was so calm that can see the reflection clearly that I could use for my mirror! so I tried to get an awesome picture for the Landscape project, and I got this one. I took this because I liked how the Palm tree is stranded in the water. This Palm tree is also right on the middle of two different reflections; Sky and forests on the water.
It was taken somewhere in Blue Ridge Parkway, and I was driving 10 mph to enjoy the view in the morning. I then saw this bridge with the view in the background so then I had to take a picture right there. I love this because it is telling me to welcome to the "next ride" of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Actually right after this bridge, it was like a roller coaster! Literally, it was so steep for a while!
Tampa, Florida. I took this picture because i liked how trees were displayed on the landscape. The pattern of tall thin trees made great shadows. I also loved how the Sun shine through those green leaves to make them glow.
