For this project I had many topics to choose from, which were nature, pets, family, food and life. I chose nature because nature is one of the things in my life that make me happy when looking at it. It is beautiful and calming, and it never gets old it always changes. I decided to choose colored leaves and flowers with rain droplets on them to photograph. I love the season fall, so I thought I would do some pretty red and orange leaves. I tried to photograph the leaves with water droplets on them. However it was difficult to get the droplet to look like real rain droplets. So instead I got the texture and pattern of the leaves and incorporated another value into them. I put a ring on the leaves to symbolize marriage or love. I really liked the look of it.
Also I tried to do the water droplets on some mums and it actually worked. I poured my water on the flowers and the droplets stayed in place. I captured the water and the reflection of the droplets. The two artist I was inspired by were Patrick Zephyr and John Shaw, they both captured the beauty of nature. I really liked their work and how close up they got to their piece of nature that they were photographing. So to use their inspiration for my project, I used my macro lense. That makes it so I have to move closer to the object and focus it myself with the lense.
