All these photos were taken in the woods near a playground. These woods were the same place i took the pictures for the Objects assignment. Since i never really got to capture the full nature background this finally gave me a chance to capture it the way i wanted to. The area is actually rather peaceful, despite being in the middle of a neighborhood and next to a playground. the thick trees leave only one path in and out, making it a little hard to easily enter it, making it more isolated.
The first picture is of the path into the isolated woods. this is, as far as i know, the only clear path in and out of this tiny forest. I really like how it goes from a bright outside to a darker, unknown inside, making it almost like stepping into a completely different world. Although I do like how the light goes from light to dark down the path, I don't like how bright it is at the corners, looking like I used flash. Sadly, it’s either I have the flash looking corners, or the invisible inside.
The second picture is of a river running through the woods. I feel like this picture is the best representation of nature: calm chaos. There’s no sign of humans even setting foot in this picture, with fallen trees and standing ones. True nature isn’t calm, and true nature is not always chaos.
The third picture is on the small river with the tree bridge over it. Although blurry, i find this picture still captures that natural beauty in a river, with each little leaf acting like a tiny star shining in the river, with an excellent treeline making a shining center in the river from the sun. The green banks along with the trees help make this picture an almost perfect nature “sandwich”.
