This is a picture I took in Yellowstone National Park. I
remember standing in this particular area, looking out over the beautiful yet
somewhat desolate landscape, and feeling a little like how this tree looked.
Alone in a great big world, overwhelmed by the shear vastness of everything,
but also overcome by the stunning beauty of my surroundings. It was a strange
mix of loneliness and appreciation for being part of this glorious world.
I framed this shot so that the horizon would fall
between the middle and the top third of the frame, and so that the tree would
be in the left third. I wanted to be able to show how big and desolate the
plateau was, but also get the distant mountains and the sky in the shot as
well.

This is beautiful. I have never been to Yellowstone but it's definitely on my list. I love the colors in this photo. There are only a few and they are more neutral pastels but it is still beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice job using the rule of thirds. I would love to see this photo in black and white.
ReplyDeleteThis is a super interesting photo! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAs I said to you in class, I love this picture because of its minimalism. You don't need a lot of trees and flowers to have an artistic photo. Your picture shows that even barrenness can be a amazing thing to behold.
