Paradise

I took this photo on the coast of the ocean in Tenerife, Spain. The water was gorgeous and I wanted to capture the waves crashing into the rocks. I thought this was a good landscape photo because it includes the ocean, buildings, hills, and the sky all in one photo.

Home Sweet Homes

I took this photo to portray architecture/structure. This is a photo of apartments located in Tenerife, Spain. I have always loved the Spanish looking style of structure that one can find throughout Spain, Mexico, Arizona, etc.

Guarder of the Cave

I took this photo of the rock statue that stood next to the cave on our hike through Hulne Park. I thought the look on the man's face, his posture, and where he stood could tell a story, so I wanted to take this photo as my still life object.

Boat Tour

I took this photo of a couple that was on our boat tour in Tenerife. I liked the composition of the picture with the sail on the left and the people gazing out towards the coast of Tenerife on the right.

Whale Gazing

I took this photo of a whale that we got to see on our boat tour in Tenerife. The sun on the water was gorgeous and about 7 whales swam up next to the boat. Getting to see whales, along with dolphins, was one of the highlights of my trip.

Sunset in Tenerife

I took this photo in the Canary Islands the night we arrived. This was the view from our apartment and the first thing we saw when we walked outside. The town was dark but the sunset over the ocean was gorgeous. I took this photo for my night shot to remember the first sunset I saw in Tenerife.

Balcony in Spain

I took this photo on the balcony of our apartment in the Canary Islands. I think the structure of homes, buildings, and other architecture in Spain is really neat and I wanted to capture this style close up.

Windy Day in the Woods

I took this photo on our walk through Hulne Park. The limbs of the pine tree were blowing in the wind and I thought that it would make for an interesting motion shot by capturing the swaying branches.

The Duke's Tower

I took this photo of the tower in Hulne Park. After an hour long hike it was great to finally see it. I liked the structure of the tower and thought the photo portrayed a good low camera angle shot.

View From Above

I took this photo from up in a tower looking down on a tree. I thought the composition of the photo was neat. I liked how the top of the tree covers the picture, but the small base of the tree is portrayed at the bottom. I also liked all the different colors in this photo and thought it to be a good high angle camera shot.
