While I was home, sick, I often took walks around my neighborhood with my sketchbook and camera. I always pick up pretty fallen leaves, and this tree was no exception. The golden sunlight filtering through the canopy and illuminating the leaf reminded me of the simple joy we can take in beautiful things. I love how the Bokeh (blurred out) effect on the canopy makes it seem there is a whole new dimension between the sky and the subject. I took this photo at a shutter speed of 1/640, aperture of 3.5, and ISO of 100.

For humor, I also want to share this photo embodying the ‘season’ of SAT test preparation! I took the photo using a shutter speed 1/60, aperture of 5.0, and ISO of 100. Over the summer, I took practice tests (from a book that I found in a Little Library) outside at this table because the sunlight was too nice not to enjoy. The light happened to pass through a blue vase nearby (shown in the background) casting a UV-colored ray onto the bends of my practice book.

Additionally, I liked this photo below, showing my street on a rainy day. For a change of style, I changed the focus so that the image is composed of a blur of shapes and figures. The red and green circles come from traffic lights beyond the sidewalk. The sky is gray with a hint of pink from the trees, showing the season of rain.
