Colorado River

This is a picture taken from the Hoover Dam. In 2019, my family took a road trip to Las Vegas. It has always been in my travel wish-list to visit the Hoover Dam. Fun fact: the Hoover Dam's construction started in 1931 and was finished in 1933.

Composition:

This photo was taken from the Hoover Dam. The surrounding mountains wrap the Colorado River, making it look like the river is a pathway. The mountains cave in around the left of the photo, where the river starts to bend and get out of sight. This leads the eye to that part of the photograph. One thing I like about this photo is the separation of the blues. There is a blue sky and a blue river. But they are divided by the brown mountains. Something to focus on while taking nature photographs is the horizon line. The horizon line should be at zero degrees, so parallel with the actual horizon as well as the frame of the photograph. This makes the photo more realistic and visually appealing.
