My Adventure into Black and White

 These pictures have each been edited and turned black and white.  I really like black and white photographs, but I know these pictures still definitely need a lot more editing before they can be considered great black and white photos.

 This picture was taken in Yellowstone, but it is unedited.

This picture is edited and cropped.

Winter is Coming

These are unedited photos I took about a month ago. There was this beautiful, mulit-tone tree I couldn't resist capturing. I know I need to do a lot of editing and cropping on these, but I wanted to share them anyways. I took them with my smartphone and have RAW copies to edit.

Montana Sunsets

These photos were taken up on the Rims a couple of weeks ago with my smartphone. I have jpg and RAW copies of each. They are unedited.

 The changes I made for this picture included changing the crop and attempting to minimize the amount of blown-out sky.  I still feel like the sky is too blown-out, but I am not sure how to fix it still.

For this photograph I lowered the brightness to get rid of the blown-out leaf tips.  I also changed the crop just a bit.

Both of the above photographs are edited.  The top one I posted last week as a normal blog post, but I edited it a bit more and would like your critiques.  The bottom photograph is slightly edited, but I didn't want to get too crazy with it.

A Photography Adventure

Each of these pictures is one I took this week on a short adventure to Red Lodge.  They are unedited currently, but I will post edited versions next week.

 For this photo, I tried to capture the oranges of the tree leaves along with Rock Creek.  I also tried to position the river along the upper third line.

 Because this plant is red, it really captured my eye.  It was difficult to photograph because it was breezy, so it will definitely need some editing.

 I tried to capture the beautiful sunset in this photo, but it definitely does not do it justice.  I will most likely edit out the tree on the right side and brighten the red hues to make it look more like what I saw that night.  I also tried to position my horizon on the lower third line.

For this photograph I tried to capture all of the colors that were visible in the forest that day.  I will need to brighten up the shadows to bring more attention to the red leaves, which were my primary subject.
