I've always wanted to take a picture at this location. The day I chose couldn't have been any better. I had no real struggles with the photo. However, I am very proud of the way it has turned out. The way the sun reflects off the water and lights the leaves is near perfect.
Painted Views
In the Woods
I found this location while on a walk in the woods. Ann Arbor has beautiful woods and it's very difficult to capture their beauty. That was my main struggle with the shots. Getting the lighting to work was also trying. In the end I think the shots turned out quite well.
Into the Wild
The Pond
I found this spot while driving Huron River Drive. I never really noticed it before. Likewise, I think it is a very overlooked area that is very beautiful. The sun was very bright and getting it to not affect the shot was the biggest struggle. In the end the shots came out very well.

Tree in the Small Prairie
This is a location I always bike on. Its a very random and secluded prairie area in the middle of dense forests. The contrast between this and the forest is quite amazing. There is also contrast in vegetation. I am very proud of how the shots turned out, though there wasn't much difficulty.
Lone Tree
Across the Water
This is a location just near my house. I've always wanted to take pictures here but never had the equipment to do the place justice. My biggest challenge with this location was getting the angle. I had to eventually get in the stream to get it. Other than that the lighting was very nice, making the shots easier. In the end the shots turned out very nicely.
