Overachieving and posting these hella early cuz I got excited and I got other stuff to do that is piling up in mah brain. Don't mind me....
Two for one. Took these both on the same day on campus. They captured my attention for the same reason and evoked similar feelings in me. There's something that intrigues me about the darker foreground and bright, backlit background. In lighting and photography, you more frequently find the foreground to be in focus and light. But this effect does many interesting things in my opinion. In the top photo, it brings a vibrancy and glow to the color of the leaves that otherwise may not have been there if it had been lit from straight on, or above. It creates an ethereal pop of color that draws your eyes to the focal point. Being that it is a tree, it's kind of strange--what importance does a tree hold? (Mother Nature herself!...idk..it could be very important I suppose. We'd be dead without trees, so there's that.) But put it in another context and you could be drawing your audiences' eye to something very important/plot or character altering/etc. Ethereal. This lighting also gives the photos that sort of quality, I think, which I totally love. Especially in the bottom photo there is a sense of mystery, something more beckoning from beyond the dark foreground. It evokes a faerie forest sort of visual in my mind. There is a vibrant and playful, yet calming and welcoming warmth to it. I love these photos because they carry a great sense of depth and warmth, two things which I really love and frequently find in my personal photography.

I was just scrolling through and realized my comments didn't actually load from this one! So I thought I'd just post that these images are beautifully contrasting! The backlit faery tree is beautifully silhouetted and creates a mystical and almost magical feeling with the "atmosphere" or visible beams of sunlight. The tree that is glistening in direct sunlight gives off quite a different energy, bursting with life, color and depth! Great!!
