The first picture is one that I took from the top of my grandmas hill the other day with my Samsung.  I wasn't going to edit this a lot and then I was messing with it and turned the hue way up so the blue really stood out and the saturation down a little bit.  I was just messing around with the hue but it made it look kind of cool so I left it.  The second picture I took with my Nikon of the lilacs at my grandmas at the beginning of the semester.  I took this with a low aperture so that the background was blurred out.  I took a picture with everything clear but I think the blurred background picture turned out looking better.  The third picture was taken at my grandmas when we had a big storm towards the end of the summer.  This one turned out looking very interesting from a distance and took no editing at all.  Everything was super still and eerie.

The first photo is one that I took from my house the other day when the sunset was incredible!  The way that the clouds were patchy and the sun was a pinkish color slowly setting behind the hill made the picture turn out really well.  The second picture is one that I took out while hunting in the Breaks a couple weekends ago.  The sky and the hills seemed to go on forever which made the picture turn out pretty well.  This was taken with my Samsung and did not require much editing.  The third picture is one that I took on Fort Peck Lake the other weekend while hunting as well.  The sunrise in the morning over the wakes from the boat made for a really interesting picture.  This took very little editing as well, only bumping up the contrast a little bit, other than that, nothing!

The first picture is one that I took while we were out hunting near Two Dot, MT.  This was a really cool view and the way the dirt road just went straight down the middle of the picture helped add to it a lot.  The second picture was of a field out near Laurel the other week.  This was taken with my Samsung and the only editing that was done was increasing the contrast a little bit.  The third picture was one I took of my friend with my old pickup that turned out really well.  I did not edit much on this photo at all but this was taken with my Nikon camera.  The fourth picture was one that I took out at the A1 junk yard out near my house with my Nikon camera.  I zoomed out as I took the picture, giving it a blurred effect which made it look really cool.

The first picture is one of my dog, Wilson, while we were up camping last weekend.  I was taking some photos of him playing in the water and found this one when looking at it.  It was really bright out so I have to raise the ISO a little bit so that the picture would turn out.  The second picture was camping as well when my brother an sister were riding dirt bikes.  Since they were moving I had to lower the shutter speed so that it would freeze the water droplets and not make them blurry.  The third picture was one that I took with my Samsung while canoeing last week.  This picture turned out really cool with the water reflection.  The fourth picture was one I took out where I keep my horses.  Getting on the ground to get a different perspective made this picture more interesting than if I would have just took the picture while standing up.

Photos with Different Extremes

The first picture is one where I made the background lighter by having the ISO at 125, the aperture was at f/9.  This made the picture lighter even though it was starting to get dark out.  The second picture is of the same flowers but with an ISO of 500 and still an aperture of f/9 to make the picture look really dark.  Looking at these two side by side you can really tell the difference.  The third and fourth pictures are messing with the Aperture.  For the third picture, I made the aperture f/3.8 and the ISO 125 so it was really low, making the center flower in the plant clear and the background blurry.  For the same plant I used an aperture of f/10 and the ISO 125, making the whole plant much more clear instead of just one thing clear.

This week I decided to blog about some pictures that I have taken the past couple weeks.  The first picture is of Daisy Peak where I went camping this weekend.  This was taken with just my phone and turned out better than I thought!  The second picture was one I took of someone welding.  This was done with my mom's Nikon camera.  The third picture was taken while I was hunting in Springcreek last weekend.  It was super foggy which made the picture look different then usual but still interesting!  The fourth picture was one I took with my mom's Nikon camera as well of a flower that is at my grandmas.  Blurring out the background made the flower pop out a ton.  All four of these pictures turned out pretty cool!

These are some of my past photos that I have taken.  The first photo was taken with my phone of one of my horses, Sundance.  It was a cloudy, muggy day which actually added a lot to the picture!  The second photo is one that I took out in Cooke City when I was out there last summer.  I was looking through the trees to try and see the mountain which got me thinking that it would actually make a interesting picture and it did not take any editing.  The third image is one that I took with my Nikon at the beginning of the semester.  This photo I spent a little more time with in adobe photoshop.  The fourth photo is one that I took down by the Yellowstone River last year.  The sky colors were perfect and didn't take any touching up, the only thing that was done was darkening the trees and bushes to bring out the colors of the water and sky more.  These four photos are some of my favorite ones that I have taken so far that I did not think would turn out this cool but it worked!
