LANDSCAPE! blog

This photograph by Ansel Adams is of a river in the foreground and a mountain and forest in the background. I chose this landscape because when I was looking for photo’s online, this was the one that drew my eye. It also looks like a very interesting and excluded place, where not many people have been. I would definitely like to go there and see what it’s like to experience such a wonderful view. My favorite part of the photograph is the way that the river sticks out from the rest of the photograph, drawing my eye to it very easily. The rest of the picture being very dark also helps draw out the river from the rest of the background. The color is to me what makes the photograph appealing. The river being a very light color against the darkness of the mountains in the background and the shore being very dark really draws your eye to river in the photograph. The composition is very good, because every part of the photograph has something taking up space in it, and its useful space that adds to the meaning of the photograph, not just useless space for any apparent reason. The only thing I would change in the photograph would to maybe crop a little bit of the clouds out of the photograph. The clouds just like throw off the whole background of the mountains in my opinion. If I could be there right now, I would just take it all in. The mountains, the rivers, all of it. In the photo, I would put myself on top of the mountain, hoping people would get the sense that I was saying I’m on top of the world.

heres the url to the photograph: http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/photos/tornado-general/tornadoinstormsky.html

In this photo, the main subject is a tornado that is swirling around what seems to be a deserted field in tornado alley. The tornado is moving at an exhilarating speed and causing tons of dust to spin out of control all over the place. The photograph conveys movement because the tornado is moving at a very high speed and picking things up as it goes. You can see yourself by the tornado watching it destroy the field, picking everything up that’s in its path and flinging it. Movement is an important particle in this photograph because without the movement, there would be no tornado; it would only be a cloud that came to close the ground. The composition of the photo brings out the tornado, because it’s right in the middle of the 9 zone grid, and the dust that’s coming off the tornado takes up the rest of the photograph, causing your eye to drift towards the whole picture, and not focus on just one thing. One goal I have for incorporating movement into my photo is to actually have good movement and pan my photos.

Sandy Skoglund: Fox Games
In Sandy Skoglund’s photograph ”Fox Games” everything is in black and white besides about 20 red foxes running rapidly throughout a diner in which and man and woman are trying to enjoy a peaceful dinner. The foxes are a very bright and vibrant red, which makes me automatically think of blood. It seems like the foxes are out for blood and they want too find a way to hurt the people. This is the message that I got from the photograph. I think sandy Skoglund was trying to get across a different message by using red. Red is often used as a representative for such themes as energy, strength, and love. In the photo, an older man and woman are having dinner in the background, so I think that the foxes are a representation of love.
