February Photo Project, Part 5--Photo Faves

I saved the best for last. Leave a comment on which is/are your favorite. I'd love to hear.

The light hit our rosebush just right one afternoon. I learned how much aperture to use to get just the right amount of focus for the shots I wanted. That soft buttery light haloed the white roses.

These may be my favorites from the whole project. A tree in our yard has been slowing dying over the past few years from a bore infestation. These photos are of the sap on the bark. (These were taken on the same rare foggy morning I talked about yesterday. It filtered the light in a way that made the sap look like gems along the trunk of the ailing tree.)

Spring is reaching an end here in Arizona. A few trees are lagging behind the curve, but mostly it's over. Our short spring will inevitably rush to summer and linger there way too long.

I'm so glad I took the time behind the lens to capture some of its beauty. I learned many lessons about composition, light, editing, and storytelling. Most importantly, I learned that I have so much to learn about photography--gaining the skills to capture more than a few lucky shots.

I have a new project underway for March, and I can't wait to see what I learn this time around.
