My favorite five photographs that I took

Here are some of my favorite photographs that I have taken over the course of a couple of months. All five of these photographs were taken around Billings, Mt. I also used my Canon Rebel Xsi camera for all of these photos.
This photograph of a wild mustang was taken at the Bighorn Canyon National Park. I love this photograph because the horse is staring right at use and I have never seen a wild mustang before in its natural habitat. The one thing that I don't like about this picture is the fact that it is a little blurry because I under exposed it.
This photograph was taken at Pioneer Park in downtown Billings. I took this picture in the mid- afternoon. I love this photograph because, these two mallard ducks are looking at each other. I would have liked it if I took the picture when the female duck was in front of the male duck better but I still think it is a cool picture.

This photograph is one of my favorites because to me it looks like a snake coraling around a tree limb. I took this picture at Riverfront Park which is near downtown Billings, MT. I took a lot of these kinds of pictures but this one is the best out of the pictures I took. There isn't really anything that I don't like about this picture just because I have never taken a photograph of water that has turned out so clear.
This photograph was also one of my favorite photographs that I took because, I love the color of the wild berries around the nest. I took this picture at Two Moon Park which is located in the heights of Billings, MT. One thing that I would like to change about this photograph would be to have the background more blurred out. Overall, I enjoyed taking this picture.


This particular photograph was taken in the early morning at Bighorn Canyon National Park. I think this photograph of white tailed deer is kind of funny. It looks like that one deer has huge antlers. I also like how the deer are moving in a circular motion. Although I would like to have a clearer picture I like it.


Bob Johnson the nature photographer from the Pacific Northwest

I found this website when I was searching for nature photographers in Washington State. Apparently, Bob Johnson who is the photographer lives in Seattle, Washington. He has always loved photography since he was a kid. His family tended to move around a lot so that enabled him to take pictures of the rest of the country. Bob has been photographing for about 20 years. He is currently a member of the NANPA, Seattle Mountainers, and Nature Photographers of the Pacific Northwest. Most of his pictures are centered around earthbound light. I looked at some of his photographs and I especially liked the ones of Mt. Rainier. The photographs displayed a lot of natural sunlight.

I would highly recommend looking up the website: http://www.earthboundlight.com/

Rockies Senior Art Show

In the Rocky art show room there are three former Rocky students that had their senior show up. The first students name is, Krista Hoyes she displayed the emotions of flamenco dancers. A couple of pictures that captured my attention was Solea because, this dancer displayed the feeling of pain and despair in such a unique way. In fact there were two Solea pictures one was on oil on canvas and the other was water color and color pencils. I liked the water color painting better because it showed more details throughout the picture. The second artist was Monica Geary which captured recent work. Her paintings were of clothing designs and fabrics. I really liked the shadows in the model paintings. Finally, Cassie Scheidecker who is capturing the emotions in human portraits. Since she has been recently diagnoised with a type of arthritis she had paintings on the wall that showed how each day can be different even when they are the same. I loved how she opened up to people and could share with everyone her diagnose. Overall, I really enjoyed walking around the Rocky art show because, it displayed something that everyone can relate to.
