I used Procreate to add the text onto the photo, using my iPad. I took the photo with my phone when on vacation in California. The photo isn’t necessarily a “bad” photo; however, I believe the text is what makes it a “bad” photo. My Mom is the one who is in the photo, and I sent it to her and she thought it was hilarious. She is obviously okay, was not pushed off the cliff, and lives to see another day.
But fun fact, this really was as scary of a dropoff as it looks. We were climbing a mountain and, naturally, mountains are steep. She could have easily fallen, but of course, she wanted a good photo.
When I saw the prompt for this week’s DS106 Assignment, I got super excited. I do photography (check out my photography account if you want/need photos done), so I knew this would be a great opportunity to share some photos I took while also showcasing some of my favorite places I’ve been to! The photo in the top left is on a mountain in Yosemite National Park. My family and I went together and we hiked to the top just in time to capture the sunset. The photo in the top right is from when my family and I went to Bumpass Hell in Lassen Volcanic National Park and I took a photo right before we reached the bottom of the hill. It showcases the hot springs that the area is known for. The middle left photo is also from Yosemite in Tuolumne Meadows where we got out for a short amount of time to walk around. It was a really nice break and all I remember is being happy. The middle right photo is from Kings Canyon and I was still learning how to capture motion in photos at the time. It was great practice for my photography and I vividly remember talking to other tourists who were visiting the waterfall. They were all very nice and it was a wonderful 15 minute stop. Lastly, the photo at the bottom of the collage is from Lake Helen, a lake on Mount Shasta located in Lassen Volcanic National Park. It was in the middle of August when we went and it was super shocking to find snow at the top! The water was freezing cold but made for beautiful photos. These are definitely all places I recommend for other people to go to. I know I would go again!
