Fox



 This photo was taken by me, it was taken on the yellowstone trip. I like this photo but I wish that the fox was a little more focused and I also feel that the background in this photo is sort of distracting.  I am proud of this photo becasue of the action that I captured the fox in, as he was hunting.

Yellowstone National Park





Thursday Blog

This photo wat taken by Mark Graf, he used a Nikon D700,  with 200-400 f4. I really like how powerful this photo is. Mark is an internationally published nature photographer from Michigan.  See more photos at http://www.grafphoto.com/

Leaves Edits


Leaves


The second and last picture were taken on a path along the Musselshell River in Roundup Montana. The first photo was taken on Rocky's campus. I like the first two photos more than the last photo. I tried to use photoshop to edit these photos.

Yellowstone inspiration!

The photo I chose for this blog post is the eighth photo down in the article. The photo is of an elk standing in the rising steam of castle geyser at sunrise. This photo is backlit. The photo was taken by jim Zuckerman. I really like this photo because it is soft yet powerful. The beauty and simplicity of the photo is inspiring and makes me even more excited for our class trip to Yellowstone National Park!

Alaska

This photo was taken by Mike Criss at the wildlife conservation center in Alaska. I like this picture because it is not taken from the basic angle that most wildlife photography is taken. He said that he used a Canon for these shots but did not go into the specifics. Another reason I choose this shot is, my group is planning a trip to Alaska and I thought it would be interesting to add a photo taken in Alaska.

These photos were taken at Zimmerman Park on the rims at sunset. I like the sunset picture because the colors in the sky are so intense against the dark shadows of the trees. The second, of the grasshopper, was taken while I was waiting for the sun to set over the ridge.

(photo 13)
This photo was taken by John Hyde, it is of a brown bear cub, on Admiarlty Island in Alaska. I really like this photo because it is really playful and fun. It really shows that this little bear cub has a personality. He seems like he is bored waiting for his mom! I also like how the cub and the downed tree he is resting his head on are in such sharp focus.

All of these photos were taken by Carrie Yeley at my wedding. I called her and asked her about the photo above and she told me that right when she started gettnig dark outside is when she started planning this photo. She said that the lights were so cool coming from the building and the tent and she wanted to wait until the moon came up and was in the perfect spot for this shot. She did wish that there were not the clouds in front of the moon. But I personally like the way the clouds destort the light. The next photo I wanted to share is the one below with the light patterns.  In this photo Carrie used a slower shutter speed. The slower speed does some really fun and interesting patterns from the lighting. 






In this photo Carrie made the choice to keep the flowers nice and sharp but blur the background. She also took the photo really close and from below to make the flowers look larger than life.


In this photo Carrie pulled the viewers eye to the I Do sticker on the bottom of the cowboy boots by making the picture black and white but keeping the sticker colored.

Mystic Lake and Yellowstone National Park






The first five photos were taken July 25, 2009 while on a trip to Mystic Lake. I took them with a cheap point and shoot digital camera. The next photos were taken in June of 2010 on a trip to Yellowstone National Park. They are taken with the same camera as the first six photos.
