Here are some words that those of you who have been following me for a while have heard before. I like to photograph just about everything and anything. I kind of find it to be a personal challenge to take things that we see as part of our every day lives and turn them into interesting photographs. Well, I find them to be interesting and I certainly hope that those of you out there who take the time to visit do as well. Today's model are some simple little weeds that have managed to find a way to grow between the rocks that form the walkway that leads from my house to the parking lot. Little green leaves that I walk by every day. I happened to catch a longer look at them as I was outside taking some other photographs of more candies and some fruits. Photographs that will likely find their way to these pages at some point as well. I happened to see the way that the sun was hitting the leaves so I left my table full of treats to bend over and snap some shots of the weeds. I like how I caught the sun on the few leaves near the front of the photograph and how the entire background is in the shade. Shooting with a large aperture also helps to make the greens at the front of the photo stand out. I also really like the small shadows in the lower left-hand side of the shot. The lower right-hand side I like as well as the other weeds in the shadows are completely blurred out thanks to the chosen aperture and make a strange kind of design. This photograph was taken at f/4, 1/800sec, ISO 400 at 60mm. Nothing really fancy, just some sidewalk weeds, but I had fun shooting them. Hope you liked looking at them.
