1. Photography Resolutions for 2016
http://petapixel.com/2014/12/31/10-photography-resolutions-new-year/
On this website, I really paid attention to what the writers resolutions were. I was very interested in the pictures that went along with the text, but I was more hooked to the reading portion of it, only because there was great description AND it was talking about New Year's resolutions which is very relevant to this time of year since the new year is right around the corner. I really did like the photos because they added more content about the writers goals for the upcoming year and sort of an example of what she was trying to accomplish.
Something I learned from this website is just to find a lot of creative ideas for your photography and different ways to position your photos or use photoshop.
The site related to photography by the blogger sharing some of New Years resolutions towards photography and shared some of her photos on the reading.
2. Spiral Staircases
http://petapixel.com/2014/12/19/disorienting-beauty-spiral-staircases-old-abandoned-buildings/
What I read from this website, was a little bit of background info about a photographer who took series of spiral staircase photographs. The photographer often came upon oddly shaped, as well as just normal spiral staircases quite often. He soon enough started to photograph it.
I really like all the photos of the staircases, but this one stood out to me the most out of all of them. This one is really great to me due to magicalness of it. (magicalness- haha not a word?) I really like the colors of gold and brown and the light streaks against the granite. It contrasts really well. There isn't exactly a main subject in the photograph, so I do not think the photograph followed any exact composition rules but there is a hint of depth in the photo. The photo was taken by Christian Richter.
Something I learned from reading this and viewing these photographs was to look at things from a different perspective. I would have never thought to create a series of photos of spiral staircases.
This relates to photography because this showed a man who spent his time traveling Europe to find SPIRAL STAIRCASES to photograph. That is dedication.
3. Great Portraits
http://blog.phowd.com/2014/09/7-tips-shooting-great-portrait-photographs/
This link took me to a page with many tips on photography. It was telling you how to take really cool and creative photos and showing pictures to exemplify what they were talking about. Some of the things the reading talked about was things like, photographing babies, talking to your subject, and some different concepts like negative space, and having the subject look off camera.
I really like this photograph because it is very different and something you might not see everyday.
The whole reading was talking about breaking the rules, but this photo does follow the rule of simplicity a little bit. This photo was taken by Rajib Mukherjee.
Something this reading taught me is to go out of my comfort zone when taking photos. Also, to not always follow the rules of photography. This relates to photography because it is giving tip on how to take great photos and be a great photographer.
4. The Oldest Living Things in the World
http://www.rachelsussman.com/oltw/
What I viewed and read on this website was about some of the oldest living things in the world. Most of them were plants and trees, and landforms which to me, it is so crazy that they have lived that long!! Rachel Sussman spent almost a decade working on her "Oldest Living Things in the World" project and has taken some incredible photos.
This photo caught my eye fist thing, amongst the gallery of green photographs. The vibrant color of the water and the the contrast of the sky and mountains really set a the tone of the photograph. I really like this photo not only for it's color, but it just is a really cool photo that has a great composition of depth with the water mountains, and the mountains in the back. Rachel Sussman was the woman who took this photo.
This website displayed a photography project. It gave me ideas for my own photography projects and interesting thing I want to do with my photos, including landscape, and composition.
I learned from this website that it is never impossible to capture something too late.
5. Killer Timelapse
http://blog.ted.com/2014/10/07/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/
On this website, I read about Joe Capra talking about how awesome time lapse is. He gave some good tips like how many shots you need to get a killer time lapse. You can always take more, but 240 shots is a good amount he says.
He only had a video with al his time lapses from Rio, so I can't share any photos with you, but he is the link to the video.

Something I learned from his website was just the knowledge of what people think of time lapse and what makes it so cool and the purpose of it. I hope I can create a time lapse like his someday!!!

This is my favorite photo from the website because it's SO COOL. I really hope I can capture a photo like this in the future. In the mountains, along a road, looking like you are in the middle of nowhere. That is AWESOME!!!!!! The rules of photography used in this photo are simplicity and depth. Jenna Martin was the one who took this photo.
