The Last One- Faerie Bokeh

Welp. Guess who got swept up in studying and stressing? This girl. So this one's late. But I wanted to share anyways.

This is one of my favorite photos I've taken--so much so that I set it as my desktop background :P This photo was taken fairly unassumingly, just trying to capture some random shrubbery silhouetted by the beginnings of a rich sunset the other day. But I clearly got much more than I anticipated. This photo is unedited and I had no filters or special lenses or settings when I took it. I was intrigued by the sheer amount of variance nature alone provided in this shot, far beyond what I was expecting to see. What I love most is the splashes of color--pink and green. In lighting design, I feel like it's easy to shy away from using bold, vibrant, "unnatural" colors. But this photo puts me at ease with the understanding that something a pure a natural light source as the sun created such colors itself, vividly and beautifully in a setting I would not have otherwise expected it.  I also love the atmosphere that the colors and qualities of this photo create in my mind--antiquated and delicate, but magical, lively, and evocative of faerie play.
