Sunrise:
Most people when taking a scenery picture instantly think of sunsets or flowers. I decided it would be interesting to take a picture of the sunrising from Mount Washington. The contrast between the sun, skyline, river, and bridges made for a very interesting look. I think this looks very interesting because it almost appears as if the river is frozen, but in reality it is not. It took a lot of patients watching the sun inch up over the mountain but when the results came out it was definitely worth the wait. Watching the sunrise is a very beautiful and peaceful thing, if you haven't watched one yet I highly suggest going to the lookout one morning and watching, you will not be disappointed. Thoughts on this?
The photography is beautiful. I especially like how it almost looks like the only color is from the rising sun. Very nice lens work here.
ReplyDeleteI think you should go back and re-read your entry. There is a sentence that doesn't quite make sense -- "It took so many patients watching..."
Thank you very much! This is something I hope to do for the rest of my life. If you did not read it in my "about me" I got into Arizona State for photography and I am hoping to begin studying there either in the fall or fall of 2013 after gaining residency. Thanks for the grammar check, I must have over looked that, but I fixed. it.
DeleteI would suggest some revisions throughout your entry too. Such as, in the first sentence maybe end it with the word flowers. Also, I'm assuming you meant to say "if you haven't watched it...”.
ReplyDeleteAs for the photograph, picture perfect. If one was not familiar with this area I do not believe anyone would know it was Pittsburgh. In my opinion, this is what you would see on greetings cards. Most people think of Pittsburgh and probably picture traffic, construction, etc. This is Pittsburgh in a whole different view.
Thanks for the grammar suggestions, I did make the revisions you suggested. The fact that this is Pittsburgh in a whole different view is why i like it so much It is not the normal "Pittsburgh" type of picture you would typically see when thinking of the city. But I do agree with you someone who isn't familiar with the city would't recognize it as being Pittsburgh
