Photoshop Fun!

Messed around with layers and lighting to tone down the exposure of the sky and the water. Looks more natural than changing exposure, contrast, saturation, etc. Yay Photoshop :)

Andy Goldsworthy

 The two pictures above are pieces of art done by Andy Goldsworthy. Truly breathtaking. His art is made of 100% natural materials. While creating his masterpieces, the materials don't always work in his favor but he never lets it stop him. This man is an amazing artist and I can't wait to start my own inspired project.

This picture is a piece of art inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. Fun and unique craft idea which uses different colored twigs and  leaves.

Ansel Adams


This was photographed by Ansel Easton Adams.This photographer was born on February 20, 1902 in Sanfrancisco, California. Ansel died of heart failure aggravated by cancer on April 22, 1984 at age 82, leaving his wife, two children and five grandchildren. Adams was a black and white landscape photographer, or a straight photographer. A straight photographer is where the picture is trying to depict a realistic scene instead of a more abstract scene. To accomplish this, Adams used view cameras with large-format negatives. He continued to use these same cameras even as photo technology evolved and became smaller. He belonged to a group of photogaphers called Group F64 which is a group of photographers who take sharp focused and carefully framed pictures which were generally taken in the Western viewpoint. Ansel Adams also developed the "Zone System" which is a way of controlling the tonal values to hace a wider range of light and dark values. It sometimes took him a day to capture one of his shots because he wanted to make the shot perfect. His photographs are very famous and still well-known today.
