At first I was going to choose one of sunset photos I took this past weekend. You can see them here or here. However, when getting ready to post there was just something about the photo I took on the rocky beach at Kitsap Memorial Park. The colors and the texture just seemed to pull me in. Originally I did a clean edit in Lightroom. For this one I also cropped it a bit. The quote I have chosen to go with this photo perfectly captures my feelings toward photography. I continue to run into obstacles, yet my passion and desire to become a better photographer supersedes them. This photo took a few tries and edits to get the texture and light I wanted, but I had to persist. When you have the hunger you have no choice :o).
I would love to know your thoughts! Thanks for stopping by!
On a side note, are you planning on seeing The Hunger Games this weekend? I read the books a long time ago and I am pretty excited for the movie. I think the quote applies to that story as well!
Settings: ISO 200, 50mm, ss1/4000, f/2.0 (cloudy wb)
Intent: The texture of the shell and the color of the rocks

Nice contrast in textures. No, I am no seeing the Hunger Games. I read the book and for me, that was enough.

ReplyDeleteI still love that shot, the ruffled edge of the shell and the contrasting beach stones! Sorry I'm so late commenting, I had server issues and lost a weeks worth of posts, ugh. But was able to re-create my posts last night and recovered all the entries to WTS #23. Thank you, Emily, for sharing on Weekly Top Shot...
