Photo 2 Journal 2

This morning I was in the car on my way to school and I saw this bird fly over the retreat meadows. It was a large bird maybe a crane, not sure, but anyways it was just after eight o'clock when I saw it gliding over the water. There was fog rising off the top of the water in little puffs so it look good with different spot of fog flouting up and this bird just flying through all of it. I would have used a faster shutter speed to capture the movement of the bird and to also keep the picture dark enough to allow the viewer to see the fog rising off the water. I higher aperture to keep everything in focus. I cant go back and try to capture it because that bird most likely isn't going to be there and that's a real bummer because it was a really cool scene.

One miss opprotuninty I can go back to is on my way home. I getting home around late, around 6 to seven 7 and the sun is setting over the field is next to my house. The sun is often just about to go behind the mountain but the rays spill through the trees and onto the road a few feet before my driveway. I feel that the incline that I'm at is what makes the picture I keep seeing in my head. The sun is stretching out the last of the shadows before it is behind the mountain and its pretty good lighting. Bright and warm. I would use a shutter speed of 80 maybe to not have it be to dark or to light.
