Big Project.. Continued

As I am continuing doing Edward Weston, I am realizing that I am moving farther away from his object pictures (pepper, shell, etc.) and closer to his landscapes. His diversity in his landscapes has really caught my attention this week. He took a lot of landscapes including the ocean and since we live right on the ocean, that makes recreating his images very easy. I love how he takes pictures of the ground, and rocks, and trees because the simplicity of these things turns out to be beautiful. Here are some of my pictures this week, they were all taken on an iPhone 4s.

This photo was taken at Lanescove and the best part about it is the clouds. In color, the sky is very bright with lots of blues and pinks but when put into black and white you can really just focus your attention to the clouds. Edward Weston loved taking pictures of the sky so this photo definitely falls under his type of photography. 

This was taken int he woods behind my house, the little brook that runs through the rocks makes this a very interesting picture. i think that if i had taken the picture with my camera angled upward it would've had better composition. This is kind of straight on photography which is int he style of Weston, but the composition and angle could have been more interesting. 

This picture was taken over Christmas vacation when i was in Vermont skiing. They had just gotten a lot of snow and it was -20 degrees so there was ice everywhere! In the woods, a lot of the tree branches were hanging down on the ground because the ice that had formed around the branches was weighing it down. I thought that it was a great find, something that only happens at certain temperatures and for sure one of nature's little phenomenons.
