Capturing the Beauty of Places I Call Home.

                                                           
                                                             Ousel Falls, Big Sky MT

                                           
                                            Huntington Beach Pier, Huntington Beach CA

I tried to capture the beauty that comes with both of these magnificent areas. The first photo was captured just a few hours west of us in Big Sky during January. I wanted to try and capture how quiet the area was along with the beauty of all the snow that seemed to lay so gently on all the trees and frozen creek. The second photo was taken while on the beach watching the sun dip down past the horizon illuminating the sky and creating a very interesting silhouette effect on the pier.

With both of these photos I tried my hand at adjusting settings. I messed with various aperture settings, shutter speeds, and ISO. I have a some understanding of what changing these will do to a photo, but if I'm being honest I just adjusted out of curiosity until I captured a few photos that I really enjoyed.

I look forward to learning more about what changing these functions of the camera will do and how they may determine the type of photo I am trying to capture.
