I've never been a fan of this season. Despite the obviously improved temperatures, the weather can still be pretty miserable. Instead of snow and frozen ground, we have almost-ice-cold rain and mud everywhere. You decide which is better, but I'll hold off being really happy about the weather until the end of May.
Yes, things are starting to bud! For a few weeks there without much snow there was really one color that dominated everything: brown.
I took these photos on Sunday, shooting with my dad. The area is kind of rural with a touch of urban sprawl (I mean, they have a well paved walking path through the woods and also through what are essentially people's back yards).
I think this looks a lot like a bass clef.
Here's another shot of the log. This is just enjoyment of pure texture.
I like the telephoto lens adapter I got for my birthday! It took this:
There is a big marsh on the path. If you're not from the region, marshes are actually different from swamps. Obviously they're cold most of the year, and have fewer trees and more grasses and reeds (which means less shade, so they can get pretty hot in the summer if you're hiking through one).
I liked the way these reeds stood out from the red background. Nice bokeh too.
This was my favorite shot of the day. Nothing too complex about the framing but I think I nailed it.
It reminds me of a cathedral! I want to return to this spot to shoot it in different seasons.
Part two will be some shots of around the apartment complex and neighborhood. I'm trying to change up my photo style a bit after looking at photos by Walker Evans, Robert Adams, and Robert Frank. I'm trying to give my subjects a little more room, so having to construct an image with more things in it (due to a wider angle) is a difficult adjustment.
