I love that this class helps me stop and notice the beauty all around me. I enjoyed trying different angles and light on the same flowers to see how different the end product could be. The "Random Peppers?" were in a flower bed on the west side of the temple. I'm not sure if they really are peppers, but I was shocked to see this lone plant of what appeared to be peppers. All of the pictures involved very little editing (listed above). I tried to take most of my shots in the evening or morning.

  1. I really like the Thorny Purple Path, but I wonder what it might have been like if the thistle wasn't so close to the edge of the shot. The peppers is also a fun and vibrant image.

  2. I love your photos. I really like the mirror image one and the pepper one. Great colors! (I learned from a roommate that those are decorative peppers. you can't eat em, but they sure look like you could!) I also love the Cow Days picture. The tree is awesome! Great lighting in your thorny purple path picture too!

  3. I love the picture with the lone purple thorn flower. The angle is fun, and I personally love when little things like that stand out. Nice shot!

  4. LOVE the peppers photo! All the vibrant colors really stand out against the green plant. I also love that they're sticking up from the plant. The "thorny purple path" shows off the pretty scenery very well - nice angle and depth of field!
