This was one photo that I had stumbled on. It got my attention because it seems to have this illusion effect that I wasn't sure how. I don't really know if there is any effect to it at all, or if it's just the way that the trees are that give it that.

This photo shows a nice environment to it and has a nice feel. It has 2 people that are almost silhouetted and it frames them in the photo as to where they about to go. The clouds ads a nice view with it blocking the sun and just a bit of it showing. With the clouds being white and the mountain being white, it seems to add a little more depth to it.

In this person, you have a nice rock formation that add interest to the photo, along with the person that is in there. You can just barely see the face and the coat of the person as the light on her head illuminates her.

This photo, has a biker stopping for a break on a hilltop as he is slightly silhouetted. The clouds help the photo from being to blown out by the sun and the sepia effect (if there is one) adds a nice feel to the photo.

This photo was taken with a fish eye lens as a snowboarder is clearing over a jump and the photographer catches him midair. This would be a nice product shot has the photo has a nice open feel to it and you can see the bottom of the board, which displays the brand.

You have 2 people, standing on a hilltop with their bags on their backs and looking out towards to the sunset. You have nice colors that stick out a little and if going for promoting the bag, is a good choice. You can also see all of the rock climbing stuff that they have on and the ropes they used, allowing this photo to also promote just an outdoor lifestyle in general.

These are a couple still shots that I got when a group of us went to the Petroglyph Canyons. The first and second were captured during a sunrise with the second being a little after and didn't really have that good of lighting on it to make it interesting and so I decided to go with a black and white. The 3rd photo was set up with the fire right below a group of carvings. The fire was made, the tracks were wiped away and snow was covered over areas to make it look like no one had been there and gave it this awesome look. For the third photo, we had captured it from different angles and too be honest, I do like the photo and the set up, but I'm not a big fan of the angle that I took it from.

The entire trip was pretty fun with the only downside being cold every night. As soon as you got into your sleeping bag, you didn't really want to get out. It was also interesting learning about something like this being so close to Billings. It was even funnier learning about the perversion that the tribe had that I didn't think would have existed in a tribe that lived so long ago. The same perversion also gave the valley a nickname that I didn't know about and that Dave told me. The Valley of the Dong; due to being that the tribesmen were known for having long genitalia. As for that being an actual nickname for the valley...that I am unsure of...

I was stumbling when I came across this. It is 100 examples of portrait photography that I found to be pretty cool. I thought that they were great examples and there is also so much varieties of them. Going through it, I found that I didn't really get bored with them at all because each one that you look at is different than the previous and I also thought that they were well done.
