Unusual and Interesting Photos

Part 1
I think that Christian Rhum's photos are really interesting to look at. They are exciting and different mostly because you don't see many photos like his. I think he had an add on for his camera or changed a setting on his camera to create the photos. I think a good building to do this on would be the longhorn tower when it is all lit up with the one. It is really accessible so it would be a really interesting picture to take.

Part 2

I found this photo in Pictorial Singlets. I chose this photo because I loved the colors and how the roller coaster contrasts them. This photo won second place and I think that the judge would have been drawn to the coaster like I was. I really like the contrast and also that the coaster is in the back so you can see the sunset reflecting on the water. 

I found this photo in Feature Single and it was an additional entree. I really like this photo because you feel a sense of calm like you are just watching the child play. I also really like the contrast between the sky and sand. The judge probably liked the story that the picture tells like I did.  

I found this photo in Environment and it was an additional entree. I really like this photo because the butterflies together like that are beautiful and makes you feel energetic like you want to be there with the butterflies. The judge probably like all the colors and shape that the butterflies make and that was why they decided to include it even though it didn't win.

Part 3

Photographers have to look for emotions expressed on a subjects face to tell a story, take a picture of something unexpected, and take a picture of something that means something to you.

This photo has the same type of subject, but is set up differently. I think the the photographer had their reasons for taking the photo but I don't think they necessarily follow the suggestions. I think the landscape and more abstract paintings will influence me because that is just what I like to look at.
