I took this photo when I went out for a morning walk to watch the sunrise using my Nikon D3200. Of the many photos I took of the sunrise, I liked this one in particular for many reasons. The first thing that I liked about this photo is the various forms of colors in this photo such as blues, pinks, yellows, golds, grays, tans, blacks, and whites found in this photo. I think that without having these options of colors in this photo it wouldn't be as interesting of a photo as it already is, as opposed to a photo without many color options in it. Another thing that I also like about this photo is the lighting in this photo, the lighting in this photo isn't over-exposed or too harsh in spots throughout the photo that would be distorting to the photo. I used all natural lighting to take this photo with no additional flash needed. Another thing that I also like about this photo is that there isn't anything distracting in the background to keep your eye away from the most important parts of the photo. Another thing that I also like about this photo is that when I captured this photo, I was able to get the sun's reflection on the ocean water, I think by having this in the photo allows an extra touch to the photo because it extends all the way back to the far background in the distance to allow a landscape shot. Another thing that I also like about this photo is that you can see the sunlight is reflecting through the edges of the clouds to create an interesting effect to the photo. Another thing that I like about the photo is the sunlight's rays beaming on all sides of the photo through the upper center, both left and right and from below. I think that the rays of the sun is probably among the most important components of the photo. I think that without this in the photo it wouldn't have been as interesting of a photo as it already is. Lastly I like how the rays are peaking out of the clouds and are aiming down to the bottom of the water in the distance. I think that without having all of these things in this photo it wouldn't be as interesting of a photo as it already is.
I like the colors you were able to capture in this photo. The mix of different yellows, golds, blues, and grays all contrast nicely with one another. The different shades of color add more depth and realism to the photo. I also like the lighting in the photo, the sun is not overexposing the photo and adds details to the photo like the reflection in the water. I also like how you were able to capture the reflection in the water, I think the photo wouldn't have been as interesting if the reflection and the flares of sunlight from the behind the clouds were not present in the photo. I also like how you were able to capture the details in the clouds, the different shapes and textures in the clouds add a nice touch to the photo. Over all great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comments. I agree that the mix of colors such as yellows, golds, blues, and grays do contrast nicely to the photo. I also agree that the shades of colors add more depth and realism to the photo. I think that the reflection on the water does add a great amount of detail to the photo and that without it in the photo it wouldn't be as interesting of a photo. It is certainly one of my favorite sunrise photos that I have taken so far.
DeleteI like the amount of symmetry within the photo, how the water and the sun is symmetric. Another aspect from the photo that I like is the streaks of sunlight within the photo, it adds more drama to the photo and adds to the photo. One thing that I would change about the photo is that could blocking the sun. I would wait and see if the could moves out of the way to get a clear shot with no clouds in the sky.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment. I agree the symmetry does in fact make a great touch to the photo. I think that the streaks of sunlight in the photo does in fact add drama to the photo. I think that if I were to change the way how I took this photo because of the clouds in the background that it wouldn't capture all the necessary sunlight rays and streaks in the photo. I will try to get a photo sometime of a sunrise when there aren't any clouds in the sky to get a clearer photo of the sunrise. It is sometimes hard to find a day where there aren't that many clouds over the ocean but will definitely try my best. Thank you again for your feedback, I will use this advice to try to improve my photos next time.
