...was warmer than it has been this frigid January, a whopping 58 degrees. At first, I wanted to grab the speedos and hit the beach, but I settled for grabbing the camera and hitting the park. Whenever I get home from work and feel like snapping some shots, I always head to the park first. I figured since it was a Friday and the weather was nice, there was bound to be some opportunities for shots.
I think my eye is becoming a little more discerning. In this first shot, I noticed (I say that like no one else noticed) the still partially frozen pond with the ball resting in the ice. I wanted to get the contrast of ice and water with the ball adding to the effect. Not a great shot, but it has some intricacies of spotting the scene. The second shot was a reflection shot. I always look for that if I am shooting a subject near some body of water. There was no rhyme or reason to the third shot, just a dad playing with his son. That's always a good picture.
It felt good to get out and hold the camera again. It's been almost a month since I took my last photo. I think this year (although I'm not attributing it to the new year) is going to bring in new things in my photography endeavors. It will be a year in March since I bought my camera. I may even try to start shooting people...on purpose...with my camera. So many opportunities, so many twists and turns. I am the author of my own story and even I don't know what's coming next or how it's going to end.
