Week 4 Shadows and Light

So far, I have found this assignment to prove the most challenging. As I am a novice to photography, I am still working at figuring out the lighting for different shots. I am having a load of fun along the way though. This is a close-up of a fire hydrant at the pond across the street from our house.
This picture was taken at a neighborhood playground this weekend. This is the trunk and exsposed roots of an enormous tree that shades the playscape. It almost seems as though this tree has prepared to run away! I love the way the light filters down through the leaves. you can see more pictures in my fotothing portfolio http://www.fotothing.com/mkos/.

The shot with the tree and its roots is great.. the leaves at the roots look like toes and the leaves are the toe nails of a monster. You've gotta be imaginative to see this, but I've looked at it a few times and get the same image each time.

The light on the roots of the massive tree is good... I would move in closer to it, and fill the frame, eliminating the background in the process....

I like the light on the tree too! It brings out the green moss. And the hydrant shadow is great too.
