Week 5/6 Post - Corona Beach / Arts Campus

     
     Due to having been absent a couple times in the past 2 week I thought it would be good to show two photos again. This first photo was taken this weekend when I visited Corona beach with a couple of friends. We had to walk down a pathway that passed between two houses and I could not resist capturing the view. I really enjoy how the sun created multiple hues of green in the plants that stood in the foreground and the vibrancy of the flowers that sat amongst them. I also enjoy the different textures and qualities present from the plants to the sand, and the crashing waves to the rocky formation in the background. This photo doesn't give justice to the view that we experienced, but I feel its a good representation of what was admirable.

     This second photo was taken this past week when I had a break between classes and was walking around the arts campus. It was around 10am and the sun had only barely begun to light the Claire Trevor terrace in front of the Contemporary Arts Center. I enjoy how the photo captures the sunlight at a center divide and the way objects in the photo gradually darken as they enter the shadows and come more toward the foreground. I also really enjoy the model in the photo because she is standing at the center divide of the shadows and sunlight and is being backlit by the sun itself. I also like the symmetrical lines that run along the ground and along the building as I feel it creates a sense of space and depth for the viewer.
