Home Sweet Home

This Image was taken south of Chinook heading toward the Bears Paw Mountains.  I like this picture because of how the hill in the foreground has a diagonal line and overlaps the mid-ground.  I also like how the hill sin the background are so clear.  In the background/sky I like how there is blue sky and further back there are storm clouds. I like how the photo catches two types of weather.  I would like to have seen the mid-ground a little lighter which will be something that I will try to accomplish through editing.  
 

Again this photo was taken heading out to the Bears Paw Mountains.  I really like how I was able to capture the flat lands in the foreground and the mountains in the the background.  I really like how the road starts in the lower left hand corner and goes out of the photo but returns and leads the eye to the mountains.  I really don't like how the cattle and the fences are in the picture.  As I stated in the first picture I like how this image caught both the bright blue sky and the storm that was rolling in from the right hand side. 

This third and final picture is one of my favorites because of how dark the foreground and the background are but the mid-ground (mountain) is in a natural spotlight.  To fix this photo I am going to crop the power line out of it. 
 
 **All of these photos were taken with my Nikon Coolpix L18 camera.**

Berries

 
I liked this picture because to the amount of green and then the focus is taken to the center where the red berries are.  I also like how the light takes your attention to the green berries right above the red ones.  If I were to edit this picture I would crop it moving the red berries to the upper right third a little more.  This was taken with a Nikon Cool Pix.

Drive Home


 
These pictures were taken along highway 191 while I was driving back to Billings from home.  The top picture over looks the hills just outside of Hayes, MT.  The bottom picture was taken just above the Missouri River.  The power line distracts from the picture.
