Week #10: Throwback & Thank You

I decided to choose a different picture this time. Most of my past photos involved the sun, so why not choose something different? I took this picture five years ago at my old house. I think I took this picture with my old Panasonic Lumix, I can't remember. What I do remember when I took this photo, was that the day was so bright and warm, I had to go outside and take pictures of the roses out in my front yard. I was not and am still not a professional photographer, but I tried my best capturing the light and the different hues of the rose. The light gave the rose this golden glow that I really got lucky to capture. Also, I don't how to explain it, but it looks like the light is bringing the rose to life and the rose looks like its in the process of opening. I don't know, it's just a thought. It's pretty amazing what the right amount of lighting can do and how underrated its beauty is. I used to take it for granted, but taking this class definitely opened my eyes to infinite possibilities of lighting. Thanks Lonnie for being an awesome professor! I don't think I'll be a lighting designer, but I'm glad I learned from the best and understand the hard work and dedication to make impossible possible. :)
