I found myself with only twenty minutes of time to photograph on my break from work today. I headed behind the store to a wetlands area in hopes of finding something before the light was all gone. I hate being rushed, but at times in this project it has been unavoidable. Walking down a small slope to the water; I noticed these amazing big green weeds. They were still lit nicely from the front as the sun threatened to drop behind a building surrendering it's post to the stars. Quickly, I stood behind them and started to photograph. The weed/plant was illuminated very well, but I was having a hard time getting a good composition due to things crowding into my scene. I shot as long as I could and just hoped for the best.
Upon entering my super secret basement photo lab after work; I was disappointed at how the color version looked. It just didn't look like what I saw earlier that evening. I hate this type of feeling as I aim to hit home runs every time I take a photo. Still, the show must go on, so I began some work with filters and a black and white conversion. Mostly I am pleased with the way it turned out. Much had to be cropped to get a full frame, but it seems to be a good addition to project. Might be worthy of being framed and hanging on somebody's wall. Let's start the bidding at one million dollars eh?
Happy Shooting.
