Pond

In this photograph I have captured a pond in the meadow behind my house. I like this photograph because it is a perfect natural photograph. I also like this photograph because in a way the pond and weeds form a heart. However, I do not like how one of the weeds is poking out and showing across the water.

Since I took this photograph outside when the sun was not too bright I had to make sure the camera settings were set correctly. The aperture was set at F 6.3 and the exposure speed was set at 1/4,000. This allowed for the perfect amount of light into the camera lens. The focus is very strong in this photograph because the front part of the weeds and pond are in focus while the back part of the pond and weeds are blurred.

To improve this photograph would be to change the angle I took this picture at. I should have moved the camera lens up to where the pond just starts so you can see more of the weeds behind the pond and maybe some of the sky. I took this photograph because I have never taken a photograph of this pond before. Also because I really liked the colors of the whole scene and I like natural looking colors.
