Hidden Pond
For my photo essay, I took pictures of my adventure to a small pond in the woods. I chose the topic of nature and water because it showed the raw aspects of beauty. By using this subject matter, it represented the idealistic theories of transcendentalism, along with the sense of timelessness, and the thought of rebirth or new beginnings for nature. With each photograph, there was the common theme of beauty through the natural world. The pictures were organized in the way to share the story of what it was like to visit this hidden pond. These photos were taken during sunset, which allowed natural light to be reflected to the surrounding areas. This made it easy to capture imagery with the reflections floating on the water. The excursion was peaceful as well as tranquil, and the pictures successfully show that.
