The above image was taken at Zimmerman Park. It is one of my favorite images because the tree was nicely silhouetted and you could also see the outline of the mountains, not to mention the amazing colors in the sky. It was taken on a tripod with f-stop of 14 and a shutter speed around 1/30.
The moon shot was taking also at Zimmerman park. It was a faster shutter speed and I think the f-stop was around 8. I enjoyed this picture for the rule of thirds as well as the detail that was found in the moons face. I have always wanted to take a picture of the moon and be able to see the face clearly and thankfully I was able to do so with this shot. The clouds that the moon is rising above also add to the scene and make it more than just a black sky.
The meadow shot was taken in Yellowstone National Park. It was during the day and partly cloudy so the shutter speed was a bit faster. I loved the colors and the contrast between all of the elements of the photo. I especially loved the shadows of the clouds and the red hills working together to make a good composition.
My bird nest picture was taken at Phipps park. I enjoy silhouetted trees and various aspects that help spice them up. the nest was a really cool element that added to the shot. I also loved that the rims were lit behind and the colors of the sky were subtle yet glorious. It's a shot that makes me feel warm inside every time I see it.
The final shot of the steaming pools at Yellowstone National Park is one of my favorites for many reasons. It is an image that is slightly calming and zen for me. The steps that shine because of the glass water provide the perfect area for reflections and they add to the contrasting elements of the photo. Another reason why I love this shot is because people that I show it to have come up to me days later and said, I still can't get that image out of my head. That to me is what photography is all about. We see so many images in a day but it is the images that people can't get out of their heads that counts the most!
