Taking seasonal pictures helps photographers understand the qualities of light. So here's your homework... Use your own backyard if you want. Maybe a public garden near by. But choose a garden that has lots of light. Your mission! To take photos of that garden -
Stick to exactly the same scene, same angle in all your pictures. And remember, you want an area with lots of light. So what's the point of this? Well, it's a lesson in LIGHT... always changing, colorful, and moody. Light has multiple personalities -- changes from morning to night -- season to season. Completing your homework will help you see the differences. Starting this summer, I'm doing the assignment with you. Jump in any season you want, but make sure you get your 4 seasonal pictures of one garden. When the year's up, you'll know much more about light. When we finish, let's share!
I've made photo galleries of some of my seasonal pictures. Click on them and explore! Ever thought of making photo greeting cards out of your seasonal photos? It's not that difficult. I'll help you. Great time to learn card making is winter - different religions - different holidays - but always cards! I'm Christian so I celebrate Christmas. I grew up in “Winterpeg” Manitoba, so every year was a white Christmas. Sure, the cold froze your pee before it hit the ground, but tender winter plants were still part of our Christmas celebrations... evergreens, holly, poinsettias, ivy, mistletoe - decorated our homes and our Christmas cards. But photo note cards are an “any seasonal garden” event ... If your spring garden is looking fabulous - brag about it! Send out photo note cards for a little spring “feel-good”. When I make a note card, it's really important to me to pick the perfect poem or quote. It might take me days before I find the right message, but it's worth it. Nothin' says lovin' like cards made with your own little hands! I'm not a “collector” but even so, I keep those special hand-crafted cards for years. Your friends probably do, too!
