The theme for February will be....”Morning”
Congratulations to CONGRATULATIONS TO Walks @7@joysabin for theme lights and has selected February’s "Morning" theme.
This theme may take a little creative thinking and planning. There are a lot of different takes on the Morning theme.
Here are some ideas:
1. Sunrise: Capture the first light of the day, with the sun just peeking over the horizon. The morning sun can create beautiful lighting effects over a snowy landscape.
2. Morning Dew: Close-ups of dew drops on leaves or grass can make for stunning photos.
3. Breakfast: From a steaming cup of coffee to a full breakfast spread, food can be a great subject.
4. Morning Activities: People jogging, walking their dogs, Kids getting ready for school, or people heading to work can add a human element to your photos.
5. Nature: Birds chirping, flowers opening, and the calmness of parks or gardens can be very photogenic. For those in colder climates it could be morning birds at bird feeders, snow glistening in the sun,
6. Cityscape: The city waking up, with empty streets gradually filling up.
7. Foggy Mornings: If you’re lucky enough to have foggy mornings, they can create a beautiful, ethereal effect.
8. Golden Hour: The time shortly after sunrise when light is warmer and softer.
9. Reflections: Look for puddles, lakes, or other reflective surfaces to capture interesting reflections in the morning light.
