Class assignment: 150 pictures

Ok New post. I have an assignment/portfolio project. My theme, one of my favorites and what I always return to. Nature. Nature nature nature nature. No I won't post all 150 pics but probably the normal two or three. The goal was to take a far away shot get closer, re meter and get closer still and repeat process. I'm five pics under where I need to be and I haven't even covered the whole park yet wow! but hey that means lots of leftovers for me to post as favorites and where I can improve on. Once again all these are taken in manual which I'm starting to love. So first pic

Ok this is my first what I consider a post card Pic. I have a landscape version of it but I wanted to show off this version. I think it gives the feel of a vacation or someone getting ready to go on a beach date. Its just very summery and reminiscent of summer going into fall when you would go on a beach walk with your significant other and enjoy the last remaining remnants of fall.

This is one of the boats that you can ride on and would have been a perfect subject to take pictures of all the little things on it but I was pressed for time and only had time to get this one. Looking at this picture, it gives me feelings like I'm standing right there in the park looking at that boat thinking hey let's go  on a ride if I had someone with me or hey what an adventure this would be if I were by myself looking at this picture. Its just perfect and looks like something out of a tropical island.

 

Ok I have to admit I snuck this one. He was checking the water, I don't know what for but I couldn't help it that was all but screaming get this shot get this shot. and its kinda one of those rare candid ones that you get and don't realize until after you take it. I had to zoom in using my 55-200 lens because he was to far away at the time. Ok last Photo

  Ok Last pic before bed. I wanted a different look and feel to this pick. more of a sun's rays coming over it but I can dream can't I?"I think it still looks good makes you wanna hang out on  it on a hot day and such.

So that's about it for me See you guys next time
