yellowstone pictures again

 This is a really cool log that was magically at the lake that was at the southern tip of the park.  it was so FREEZZZZING.  this ice that froze on the log was fantastic though.  the tone of this picture is very nice with the blues and aquas. i set this up so the log was diagonal and led into the picture.  the shutter speed was lowered here as well so that i could get the motion of the waves which i like.  my camera settings for this picture were aperature: 22, shutter speed: 1/8, ISO: 100, and focal length: 18 mm. 

this is a picture at one of the thermal feature sites that we walk around on the trail at.  this log was just really cool and it was in a water thing that curved in an S shape that leads into the photo.  i was using my polarizer for this photo.  my camera settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 22, shutter speed: 1/90, ISO: 800, and focal length: 18 mm.

First Semester Photos for Final Project in Photography

This was at two moon park in the waters of the Yellowstone River.  The camera settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were, Aperature: 18, Shutter speed: 1/1250, ISO: 6400, and focal length: 45 mm.  if i took this picture again i would turn down the ISO and adjust the light accordingly. when i edited this photo i made the oranges slightly more vibrant and adjusted the exposure down just a touch.

This is also at two moon park.  this beaver den was left on the shore after the huge flooding in the park the summer beforehand.  i toned down the saturation in the greens on the front of the picture and turned up the saturation in the trees of the background.  the whole picture was also slightly overexposed so i fixed that.  my settings for this picture on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 13, shutter speed: 1/1250, ISO: 6400, and focal length: 20 mm.

This is my little Sprinkle :).  she was playing in the corn stalks one day so i decided to try to get a good photo of her.  i like that the stalks of the corn frame the picture and draw you into the main subject. i think i will crop this photo also a little bit in the foreground.  the settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 11, shutter speed: 1/350, ISO: 800, and focal length: 27 mm.

This is in my back yard with the fall leaves on the ground.  i liked the lighting and thought the picture would look cool.  the picture was a bit overexposed so i turned that down slightly and i also upped the green and orange saturation a little bit.  i also cropped the top portion so that only the leaves were the subject.  the settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 32, shutter speed: 1/30, ISO:3200, and focal length: 49 mm.

This photo is in my mother's flower garden on a fall day. i did not have a polarizer to use at this time of the photo so in lightroom i did my best to outline the petals and desaturate the yellow just slightly so there wasnt any glare on the yellow. i also thought the yellow beneath the flower was distracting so i desaturated that slightly.  there was a lighter color in the background and a distracting other flower behind this main one so i cropped those distracting elements out so the main focus could be on my pretty yellow flower.  my settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 4.5, shutter speed: 1/320, ISO: 100, and focal length: 30 mm.

This photo was on the rims the day after our first snow storm this year overlooking the city of Billings and the clouds were so beautiful that i couldnt help but stop and take a few pictures.  The sun is slightly overexposed but the sky's color is really beautiful.  i turned down the exposure a little bit on this photo and played with the blues only a little bit.  also sharpened the photo so the clouds would really stand out.  there was a phone pole in the photo originally too so i took that out in photo shop.  my settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 5.6, shutter speed: 1/4000, ISO: 400, and focal length: 18 mm.

This photo is from our Yellowstone National Park trip for the class on october 27-28th.  this one i like how the trees on the side fram the picture to make it seem like you are peeking in on a secret lake.  the greens were saturated a little bit more in this photo to make the green on the lake come out more.  my settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 22, shutter speed: 1/15, ISO: 200, and focal length: 18 mm.

This picture is also from the Yellowstone National Park trip.  i messed with the greens on this one but somehow it just doesnt look like Dave's version.  i feel like the photo looks like it is muted a bit and im just not really sure how to pull that feeling out and make this photo pop and really catch your eye.  this image looked really cool in real life and i like that i was able to capture the pretty trees and the green water thing next to them as well as the thermal feature too.  the composure of the image is nice i just feel like something is missing.  my settings on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 were aperature: 22, Shutter speed: 1/15, ISO: 200, and focal length: 20 mm. i did use a polarizer with this photo.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone 10/27-10/28/2012

This photo is looking over a meadow.  I love the way the sun is over the tree.  The tree is not centered so the rule of thirds is working for me here.  My camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T3,  it was in manual exposure, shutter speed: 1/750, Aperature: 9.5, ISO: 400.  The focal length was 18mm with my 58mm lense.  I used my new polarizer for the first time on this trip so i love how the reflections on the snow are reduced.

This is one of the thermal features at Yellowstone National Park.  I made this photo have a little more color in the greens and yellows as well as the brown in the back trees.  I also used my polarizer on my Canon EOS Rebel T3 in this photo and my 58mm lense.  It was taken in manual exposure with shutter speed: 1/15, aperature:22, ISO: 200 and a focal length of 21mm.  I like how the thermal feature is not quite centered.  The weather was freezing so the steam was great and it really took some patience to get a good photo where you could see the colors of the thermal feature because of the steam.  I also like the trees in the back being all straight up and dark to give a great background element that is not distracting.

These are all i have edited so far...only 28 more to go lol

Nature Beauties

WOOHOO a RAW data photo.  when i first got my camera i was doing a wedding shoot and i had it set to raw and couldnt figure out how to convert them to JPG for the bride so i changed the whole setting of my camera to just take JPG.  however this is a terrible idea because it limits rescueing photos greatly.  the pathway in this photo goes slightly diagonally and is therefore attractive to the eye.  also the moody sky is great too.  i could lighten this photo up a bit in lightroom and make her a beauty.

i love this picture and it is also a RAW.  the colors are awesome with the most attractive pinks and oranges in the center to draw you into the picture.  also the ice is just melting so there in the front is some ice which i think is a nice filler in the front corner without being super distracting.

the front foreground of this photo on the side is filling in great.  the angles of the sides and back all point directly to the center of the photo and takes the viewer into the photo.  the pinks and oranges are attractive compared to the blue which draws you to the center.  the reflection is peaceful and nice to look at also.

im not sure that the branch in the top right corner of the photo is quite placed right because the eye follows it and goes out, especially since the sky is bright at the top too.  if this photo was edited i could hopefully save some of the trail on the bottom portion of the photo to make it lighter and show its curvy nature and make this photo lead you into it instead of out of it.

the trail of this photo is great here.  it seems like it is just barely poking out from under the leaves.  when seeing the trail i feel like i uncovered a secret.  i like how the sky pokes out a little at the top but isnt so much that it is all that is interesting in this photo.  the front tree could have had a few distracting things removed from it however.

Clouds

clouds are gorgeous in montana.  these storm clouds are so billowy and huge that they give you a light feeling and pop so well on the blue of the beautiful sky.  the white may be a bit blown out in this photo and a polarizer is a good idea here but overall the white on the darker sky blue is very attractive to the eye and draws a viewer in.  something else could be added but im not really sure what to keep the viewer looking at the image a bit longer. 

this photo really stops my breath.  the colors are pretty and they draw you in and relax you.  the motion in the clouds give this photo a whispy feeling and is very heavenly.  the fact that the motion is from the top to the middle of the photo is great because it draws you right into tht middle of the photo and then leaves your eye to wander.

Still Life

This photo is not exactly nature focused however it is a piece of interest which i can appreciate.  it shows you how maybe a cute little neighborhood is and makes you stop and appreciate little things.

this still life photo is fantastic.  i love this picture and how the motion is caught in the fire and the little blur left still gives you the sense of the fires whicking motion.  the colors are really great and the blue background is very contrasting so it pops out the main focus of the fire and its reds and oranges. i may crop out the red fire flare at the top.

this is not nature either however it is still cool and incorporates awesome clouds in the background.  the fact that this whole photo is an overall grey shade really sets the tone of the composition.  this can be an example of setting a mood in your photography and this can be applied to nature compositions.

this is the same photo just with the camera being held horizontally instead of vertically so it catches the same mood/tone.  the oblique angles are very attractive and draw the eye.

this is a color image of the tall things from the previous two photos.  the fact that they line up across the photo is attractive and leads you into the photo.   also the big to small size is attractive.  the color red is great for this composition especially since the sky is grey.  red is the most attractive color to humans. 

this photo is great because it is at night so the light is gonna catch your eye right away and attract you to it.  the reflection is awesome and gives a little bit of a ghosty feel to it.  the center focus is also reds, yellows and oranges that draws you in immediately and then the rest of the photo has lights and rippling effect to keep you looking around the photo more to keep the viewer engaged.
