Landscapes

Last weekend I went to two parks to take some landscape pictures for my photography class. The weather was not so great for me and I really did not know how to work the gray clouds and the overcast so it was pretty frustrating. But I managed to get some OK pictures. Not as great as I would have liked tho. 

I took this photo at Hershey Park. It's a simple shot; the field was pretty open with a rising slope to the left, so I just laid on the ground and took a photo of the grass field. 

This was also at Hershey Park. A lot of trees were very bare so I took a small detour off the trail took this photo. I though the weather might be able to add to the mood I was trying to get, which was kind of a dreary feel with the overcast.  

The next day, Sunday, I went to Hermann Park. The fountains around this monument were all turned on but I could not get any really good photos of them together. The clouds started to look more stormy so I tried to use it in my photo. It did not turn out too bad, I think. 

This little water fountain was outside of the Cafe Express at the Museum of Fine Arts. It had started to rain a little bit so I went there to wait around a bit. It was still sprinkling a little bit when I took this photo but I thought it was a nice photo op. 

This was along Montrose, over by the bridge over 59. I wanted to try to get something more urban than all my other photos and this one turned our pretty good. 

After walking around Montrose for a while I headed back to Hermann Park to see what I can do at the Japanese Garden. This was the last place I checked out before heading home, and I'm glad I went. This was close to 3 or 4 o' clock so the clouds were not so dark as it was earlier in the day.
