Introduction to Digital Photography

           Introduction into photography 

Photography helps me see the beauty of locations that I cannot see with my own eyes. I would like to take shots of either sport, cars or locations with beauty and meaning


I like the lighting on this picture and how it is shown as calm and peaceful location with a sense of freedom 


This image has a calm atmosphere. The lighting has an effect that shows that the day is coming to an end.   


This image shows the beauty of the car while focusing on its front the lighting of the location and the shot show how the car was a new model and well taken care of.


I like the nice peaceful atmosphere this image gives. The lighting makes the image look very exotic/ tropical
