Photo journalism
The use of digital art is different to each person and therefor, it will not always be relevant to others. However, it's the use of storytelling that comes with a picture that can make it relevant to those that don't have a personal connection. The most popular pictures are what the most people can connect with; whether that be explained by the picture alone or with writing.
A set of railroad tracks cut through a field abundant with weeds in Castle Rock, CO on Friday, November 3rd, 2017. While part of the tracks aren't used anymore, the wind created by the fast moving trains shapes these weeds more each time.
The city of Castle Rock, CO is the backdrop to this picture of The Rock taken on Thursday, November 3rd, 2017. It captures the busyness that is Castle Rock and proves that it's expanding at a rapid pace.
I ended up taking close to 300 pictures over the span of three days. After looking through all of them and deleting my test ones, I got some really good shots. I prefer pictures of nature or inanimate objects rather than people so that's what the majority of mine are. Many were simply to show the beauty of Castle Rock at this time of the year but to also represent how quickly it's expanding. I had a hard time figuring out how to utilize the aperture. I couldn't get that to work even after looking it up. I'd like to learn more about that and try it again soon.
