Things I Find Beautiful

I hate the cold and I hate winter yet the beauty of a winter sunrise and a carpet of white frost will be enough to get me outside in my pj's to take a photo or two early in the morning. 

These two were taken this morning when my phone says -6 degrees. 

I'm still getting used to and learning how to use the camera on my phone so I know these photos could be better as I have taken better with another camera in the past but the subject matter is what I find beautiful so decided to still share them with you. Would welcome any tips for the best way to take photos of frost. 

Things I Find Beautiful

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I would agree. I love taking photos and I often think I see something of beauty where others would pass it by. It is the plastic bag clip in American Beauty, if you've seen the film. I agree in that I think it is beautiful and majestic. Likewise, I often question what other people find beautiful but that's what fascinates me about people and I love that we are all so unique. 

I would like to share with you the photos I consider beautiful. Some of it (maybe most) will be traditional like sunsets but weaved in amongst them will be something a little less obvious maybe. 

I'm hoping to turn this into a linky if I can work out how so, if you think you'd be interested in joining in, please leave a comment below and I'll figure out some guidelines. 

To start it off, I've selected 2 photos taken this past week.  I'm addicted to sunsets but, up until now, I've just been frustrated with my phone and camera not being good enough to accurately capture the colours I see with my naked eye into a digital image. This was the first sunset photo I've taken with my knew phone without filters or any digital editing. You can expect to see a lot of sunsets or sunrises. 

The second photo was taken on a rainy day at the beach. The contrasts of wet weather paraphernalia on a beach which is usually considered a fair weather location and then of the pinks and complimentary purples against the bland sandy background are what makes this photo stand out to me.
