Summer Concentration Photos

Central Idea: The central idea is nature photography throughout the day. I enjoy spending time outdoors and thought that I could make something out of it and use it for AP Art. The fun part about this concentration is that there are hundreds of opportunities that can be used for this concentration. The bad part about this concentration is that it requires a lot of hours because some of the later photos have to be taken at night. It took a lot of hours and was shot at a lot of different locations but it was a fun concentration because I got to learn new techniques on my camera and find great possibilities for this concentration while I'm outside.

Favorite Two Summer Artworks

Contemporary Artist Photo

•  The artist and work that I based my photo off of was Art Wolfe. The photos he takes are nature and animal photos and one of his techniques is taking photos of running water. This was my favorite technique he used and wanted to try that myself. The photo was taken between Nederland and Boulder in the canyon. The reason I took this photo was because I enjoy taking photos of nature (concentration) and I wanted to use different parts of my camera that were new to me to get this photo. 

Concentration Photo

• The photo taken here was one of my photos I intended to use for my concentration but it is one of my favorite photos that I took over the summer so I'm posting it here. The photo was taken at Estes Park at midnight during a cold night. In the photo is the Milky Way just next to Longs Peak. I enjoyed taking this photo because I again enjoy taking nature photography and this was a big challenge for me because it was a hard night shot to take because I had to use a timer, line the Milky Way up in the shot in the dark, and I had to stay up till 1:00AM.
