My first commercial photography assignment was to take a photograph of dairy. This is what I did. I chose to do milk. I wish that the milk stood out more in the image, though. It blends in with the bottles that it is in making it hard to distinguish if the bottles are white or…

Tree Decorations
I was going through photos from vacation and this one caught my eye. As is typical for me, I saw the beautiful flowers where we were at, and since I had my camera with me and ready, I had to take some photos of them. Although, in this case I knew there were going to…
Flowers…Again, but it’s a Good Thing
We were given an assignment where we pretty much had a choice of subject matter, so of course I chose flowers. They are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. I walked around campus and found these. I found this Lantana bush (left) near the bookstore. The bush was big and beautiful. It was planted…
Wasp Up-Close
I was at a greenhouse taking photos for an assignment. There was this wasp that was in one of the flowers (Pentas), and I decided to take some photos of it while it was there. Having a macro lens, I was able to get close. I didn’t get as close as I could have with…
Soybean Field
This is another one of those photos that I had wanted to take for a while, and I finally did. I pass this field on a regular basis, and I think that it is pretty. I especially like how it looks right now with the soybeans growing. I like the contrast of the green soybeans…
Grapes and Memories
When I took this photo I wasn’t really looking for something like grapes to photograph. I was at my family’s farm that is soon to be sold, walking around trying to take photos of the buildings and areas that I liked and wanted to remember. I had in mind using these photos for my blog…
Sunset in a Flower
The flower emphasized in this photo contains vivid colors, and they remind me of colors similar to those you may see if you were watching a sunset. I love the bright colors of this flower. In order to emphasize this bright flower among the others, I used depth of field, blurring the foreground and background….
Country Barn
This is a scene that I get to enjoy multiple times a week. I see this field and barn on my way to church on Sunday mornings and evenings and on Wednesdays. I have wanted to take a photo of this barn and field for a while now, so Friday when I was on my…
The Details within the Beauty
This beautiful flower is called a Blue Sky Vine. Upon first glance, it is easy to recognize its beauty, but if you look closer, you might be intrigued by the little details of this plant mixed in with its beauty. For example, looking at the throat of the flower, this tiny aspect of the plant…
My Home in the Country & Taking in Nature
My name is Holly. I am a photography student, hoping to turn my enjoyment of photography into my career. I live out in the country, and I love it. I know that I am blessed to call it my home, because for me, I wouldn’t want to live in the city. To quote from…
