Photography 101 Day 8: Natural World

Today’s theme for Photography 101 is “Natural World”, and our task was to document an aspect of nature. Before going outside, I took a picture of one of my favorite natural creatures, my pal Dalton.

I chose to focus on a nearby tree, and a few elements in the surrounding area.

The more I zoomed in, the more I was able to see the intricate details of this tree and the area around it.

I was reminded that every piece, like every person, has a purpose, and that each singular part is connected to a larger whole.

  1. I also photographed a tree and really wanted to capture the pine needle lines leading down, yet the branches leading up. I couldn’t do it well, so no tree posts for me. Glad to see yours.
