library assignment

i went to the library and looked through a few books with nothing really jumping out at me and it seemed to be the same story when i was looking at roger fenton's photos until i came to page 91 where i saw view on the llugwy, north wales. i love the motion captured in the water and the textural quality of the rocks with the contrast of the moss. there is a great depth of field created by looking upstream into the foggy mountians where you can barely make out the trees. there is a wonderful balance of light and dark, even the water cantains a contrast of bright spots and dark areas. i think i like it so much because it reminds me of scenes of the hudson river back home along a winding road through the back country that we would take up to a couple ski places.

I love photographing scenic areas such as this, especially when hiking through the white mountain area in NH. Now I can't wait for the spring weather so I can get back out there.
