"Sunset Glow" Jenna Lock-Arnold, iPhone 7, 2022
Picking my favorite photo from this set was quite the challenge. From the colors of "Spectral" to the texture of "Entropic Deliverance" to the immaculate mood of "A Splendid Tranquility" that I can only describe as 'unexpectedly yet pleasantly sapphic', it was tough selecting my favorite. However, when push comes to shove, I'd have to choose "Sunset Glow" as my favorite of the list. One of the qualities of this image that puts it at the top of my list is how unexpected it was. My photoshoot for this set was done rather late in the day, as I was hoping it would get less uncomfortably warm. By the time I set out, the sun was nearing the horizon. I was riding my bike down a corner when I came upon this tree, right as the sun was setting. The light was shining through the crack between two houses; If I had came either ten minutes earlier or later, the light would have not fallen on the tree. The light did fall on the tree, however. It filled the rough texture of the bark with a sharp glow, shadows showing every crack and crevice. I really loved the dynamic of the different types of bark in the photo as well, it really makes the photo more interesting.
