The Theme is Spring

The trees cast their shadows because of the sun, and it covers the flowers with solar power. The spring makes it fresh and vibrant as it allows the earth to be given character and makes everything new and cool. Not everything lasts but it’s the time we have that makes the spring so valuable.

One of the best parts of spring is when it is nice out, and our modern professors let us take class outside. In the background, you can also see that there are a lot of other classes outside because it is warm out, and there is an overall happiness and warmth to the picture. Aside from the picture being taken literally in the spring, the bright sun and vibrant green grass give the picture a feeling of rebirth and renewing, which is what spring is all about.

Photo Theme: Spring

This photo reminds me of spring because the sun is shining on the fresh grass and trees. Soft whites, greens, and glowing sunlight scream spring to me, and that is all present in this picture. Flowering trees in bloom are my favorite things to see in the spring, and I’m always sad that they are so short-lived.

3. Description: Everything about this photo exemplifies the simple joys of spring. In the background, you can see how the sunlight illuminates the grass, trees, and pastel flowers. Moreover, this lighting is not only beautiful, but encourages people to go outdoors and get some vitamin D in fun ways, such as having a picnic! While the picture clearly embodies a warm temperature, the overcast shadow from the trees provides a nice shade from the heat. All around, I like that there are spots of shade and wide spaces of light that compliment the natural colors of the terrain.

4) DESCRIPTION: This is a photo of Libby Hill Park in Richmond, Virginia taken in the springtime. I chose this photo because I thought the sun created a beautiful dichotomy between nature and industrialism that also spoke to the excitement of incoming spring. On the left side of this image, the sun illuminates the trees and other greenery with a warm glow, casting shadows pointing to the right side of the image. The skyline is visible on the righthand side, but it and its surroundings are all a dull gray, untouched by the beams of sunlight. Simultaneously, this image shows spring pushing out winter, and the joys of nature working against the environmental stressors of industrialism.

3. I chose this picture because I felt that the warmth of the light gives a good contrast to the harsh light I associate with Winter. When I think of Spring lighting, I think of a warm light that the Earth will want to absorb, or a light that invites life. I find this to be the opposite if the lighting I associate with Winter, which is almost like a light that is being reflected off of the Earth, not giving life at all, but almost taking it away. The warm light that reflects pink from the clouds captures Spring perfectly, and as the Sun is setting it almost looks like the flowers are leaning towards it as if to get as much life as possible out of that light until it greets them again at sunrise.

5. DESCRIPTION: This picture is absolutely beautiful. The reason why I chose it was because besides showing a really well known monument with an amazing representation of the spring season which are the cherry blossoms, the green grass, and the bright sun coming from the back, it also gives the warmer feeling that Spring gives and happiness related to how the winter is over and summer is coming up.

THEME : Spring

DESCRIPTION : I chose this photo because of the different angles of light on the tree. The shadows on the branches overlap with one another suggesting multiple  angles of light. I enjoy how even with this all encompassing light source that is the sun, there is a sense of delicacy. The shadows aren’t too sharp and crisp. I also enjoy how the white flowers seem fragile against the pale blue sky. Even though there is a vibrancy in the color, there is nothing harsh about the environment. I also like to think of how the intertwining branches would be creating their own unique shadow on the ground which would give an interesting perspective to the photographer that we wouldn’t be able to see unless we saw it in person.

When I think of spring lighting I think of the sun displaying white crisp light. not orange like summer and not harsh like winter, it’s the perfect mix of the two seasons just like spring. Whenever I see spring approaching I get excited about cherry blossoms, they only bloom in spring and have such radiance. In this photo, the pink of the cherry blossoms is thrown onto the river by the sunlight and makes the river look pink. It adds warmth and calmness to the once harsh blue river. The juxtaposition of the blue boats to the pink river displays the switch from winter to spring and shows just how lively spring makes the world look.

4) DESCRIPTION: The sunshine peaks through the leaves that just returned and bounces off of the freshly bloomed white flowers. Even though the tree casts a large shadow, people can start to see a glimmer of light as the weather warms up and summer approaches.
