Favorite Photographs taken by Jim Brandenburg

Jim Brandenburg's journey

I think Jim Brandenburg took the ninty day journey so that he could apreciate every picture he took. He thought if he could only take one picture a day he would be able to feel the shot, and basically apreciate the pictures that he took, a little more. I think The ninty day journey was a good idea and that it helped him in the end to set aside his thinking, and be able to know the  best of his shooting abilities.

My favorite picture Jim Brandenburg took on his 90 day journey was the one he took of the wolf peering around the tree. I like this photo because of the way it looks. It makes you wonder "how did he get that shot?" and" why was the wolf only partly around the tree?"

I really liked my lines assignment. I think I did a good job with the raod and the old cattle trail. I think that I did great and  I am very pleased with thoe pictures  I took.

I like this photo because the lines kinda lead your eyes down the road, and into the distance.

I like this picture because the railroad disapearing into the mist makes the photo look apealing.

I like this photo because of the way the wavy dunes in the sand lead your eyes off toward the castle like peaks of the plataus.

I like this picture because it looks interesting the way the photographer chose to get the stairs and the water together.

I like this picture because of the way the photgrapher chose to put the starir case winding up the side of the picture.

I like my depth of field photos. They were ok, but I think I did pretty good on them. I took photos with large depths of field on a golf course, that stretched on in the distance.

This photo has a shallow depth of field. I think the photographer used a maderate aperature such as 5.6 because you can still kinda see some other flowers in the bakcground. 

I think the Photographer used a larger depth of field because the photograph has a short depth of field, and only the flowers are in focus.

I think the photgrapher used a moderate aperature such as 5.6 because the depth of field is shallow, but it is not very shallow.

This photograph has a large depth of field. I think the photographer used smaller aperature because the focus point is far away and the depth of field is large.

This photograph has a large depth of field. I think the photographer used a small aperature because the depth of field is so big. You can clearly see the clouds, plato tops, and the canyon below. I think he used something like F22.

This photo has a very large depth of field. You can see every aspect of the photo very clearly. The clouds, the hay bails, the trees in the background and the ground are all in focus. He must have used a small aperature because everything is in focus. He probobly also used a moderate shutter speed because he used a small aperature.

Critique of my Motion blu Stop action Photos

Personally, if I could go back and change my roll two I would. My first picture of alex's jump is ok. I froze him in midjump. My second picture needed more contrast and a smaller aperature when i developed the picture. I think that would have given me a better end result.

 Yet again, this photo was taken by Ron Jordan. I think he used a wide aperature and a moderate shutter speed because the fireworks are partaially frozen but there is still alittle movemnet in the photo.

Ron Jordan took this picture. I think he used a moderate aperature and a fast shutter speed, because the crane is frozen, and the picture has alot of light in it already.

Again Ron Jordan took this photo. I think he used a moderate aperature, and a slowish aperature because the train is blurred but the train isnt really blurry.

Ron Jordan took this photo. I think he used a wide aperature, and proboly a slower than usual shutter speed because the cars are all blurred going by.

Ron Jordan took this picture. I think he used a faster shutter speed like 250 or 1000, and a smallish aperature so the bird would be mostly in focus. I like this photo because I think it is really cool how he managed to freeze the the body and somehow blur the wings.

Ron Jordan took this picture. I think he used a large aperature, and a very fast shutter speed like maybe 2000, because he froze the picture and caught it in the moment. Everything is extremely sharp and focused.

The Photographer that took this is named Ron Jordan. I think he used a slower shutter speed and a small aperature because he froze the sky and the trees but theres some movement from the flag.

I like this image because I like how the road stretches off into the distance. I like how the trees frame the road, and keep the viewers eyes on the road. I took a picture of an old farm road on our property that was si ilar to this picture but, there were no treees to frame the subject. It was open and allowed the yeye to wander a little more.

This is a map of my house. The top sheet is the first floor and the bottom sheet is the second.
List of places I want to shoot:

The hallway
The stairs
A window when the sun is setting off in the distance
The kitchen table with a lit candle
The front door
The deck in the winter time
The creek in the woods(not on the map)

The first words that come to my mind when i look at this picture are a hot summer evening. Several boys playing around in the evening heat. This picture is a good example of lines, and has another subject (the boy) whos is sitting ontop of one of the lines of wheat. It shows the horizon, and the rows of wheat vanishing off into it. The picture was beautifully thought of. There are no distracting elements, or anything that would keep you eyes off of the rows of wheat.

List of Photographs I want to Take

1. A road over a great distance. I would take this picture using a small narrow aperature, and a moderate shutter speed depending on the lighting outside.
2. The corner of a step on a staircase. I would take this picture with an extremely wide aperature, so there would be a small depth of field. I would focus in on the lines leading to the corner of the stairs.
3. Barb wire fence. I would take this photograph looking down the barbed wire fence, and watching it disapear into the distance. I would use a small aperature, and a slow shutter speed so you would be able to see the fence off in the distance, yet still see the section of barbs that are right in front of you. 
4. A spiral staircase. I would take this picture with a moderate aperature, that is a compramise between shallow and large depth of field. I would go up to the front staircase, and from the bottom step, look up at the whole staircase.
5. A tire sitting on the riverbank. I would take this pictureand aim for a shallow depth of field, but still be able to see the water rushing past in a blur.
6. lockers. I would take a picture looking down the lockers. I would use a small aperature to gt a greater depth of field.
7. Fencing. I would take a close up of the wires on a fence. I would look down them and use a pretty large aperature.
8. small creek. I would get into a position where the sun shines into the creek. I would use a small aperature.
9. lake sunset. I would take a pictureof the reflection of the sunset over a pond.
10. waterfall. I would take a picture of a waterfall. I would use a slow shutter speed, and
I would use a large depth of field, so Tte waterfall would be blurred.
