Aperture, Shutter Speed, and F-Stop! Oh My!: December 2011

Landscape Number 4

Joel Meyerowitz

This is from his book TUSCANY

This seems to me like a classic photograph. A tree- lined road with a blue sky. I like that the trees aren't even as well, it gives it a different edge.

Andrew Moore

Palace Square, St. Petersburg

I really liked this other photo by Andrew Moore, so I had to put it up. The composition and the colors is what really got me. It is practically perfect symmetry, except for the man standing in the square.

Landscape Number 3

Andrew Moore

Motherland, Kiev

This photo is exudes majestic for me. The lighting in the sky and the composition of the photograph make it wonderful and powerful.

John Pfahl

I thought this photo was very interesting because of the contrast in color with the flowers and the water. The one bird perched on one of the bushes was eye-catching.

Landscape Number 2

Deep South Photography
I really like this one, once begin because its black and white. I know it's a bit ridiculous how much I enjoy black and white photography, but it's so awesome! The lighting in the photograph is amazing. I love how it looks like the water is glass, and how the river is in the center of the frame. Beautiful.

Lynn Geesaman

Hedge, Knightshayes Court, Devon, England

This photo just has an allure that I cannot describe, but it is mysterious and compelling.

Landscape Number 1

Ansel Adams - Dogwood Blossoms

I chose this picture for the blog for three main reasons. One- It's black and white which automatically gives it cool points. Two- It is of dogwood blossoms which are from one of my favorite trees, and Three- It is simply a beautiful photograph

Robert Adams
Summer Nights, Walking

I like the how the lights are illuminated in this photo, and it works beautifully because it is in black and white.
