Grand Tetons Fine Art: Mormon Row Barns

I found some great views of the Mormon Row Barns in the Grand Tetons (Grand Teton National Park). It was kind of difficult to shoot these, seeing as the weather wasn’t the greatest. I tried to fix my images in post in Photoshop, which gives you what you’ll see below.

I had a lot of fun shooting, but by the time it got to the end of the day, my energy was waning. So once we got to Jackson Hole to the Town Square, my energy was spent. I only got one photo that I thought might be cool as my others were mostly blurry; so I played around with it in Photoshop, removing the color from almost everything to bring your attention to the bright yellow umbrellas.

For all these images, I did minor edits with the levels and the saturation. I added in the blue sky for all the images with the barns and the salmon colored house because the sky was just white from being overcast. Here are the results I got. Let me know what you think!

Grand Tetons Fine Art: Nature and the Mountains

Grand Teton National Park has amazing drives and views of the mountains. I love nature, and learning how to capture it was wonderful. I love taking pictures of people in front of scenery, such as family and friends; but sometimes it’s nice to have a beautiful image of the earth just to hang on your wall, especially during the gloomy winter days. The skies were mostly gray, but the clouds parted later on, giving me a wonderful blue sky to work with.

I had to adjust my f-stop a lot in order to change my aperture for the various shots I wanted. I got some close-up shots, (see my post titled Grand Tetons Fine Art: Macro Photography), which made me need to change my f-stop. See the captions for exact specs of each photo.

I did minor editing with the levels on all of these images, and some I needed to boost the saturation a little bit as well. Here are the images of mountains that I caught on camera. Let me know what you think.

Previous Photographs

The following pictures are photos I have taken over the past few years after I got a camera for Christmas. Each has its own story, but they all tell a little about who I am. I like to take pictures of nature, so half of them were taken while I was hiking or out exploring through Idaho and Wyoming. I love my family, and I love food. I took a picture of a meal I made one semester: chicken cordon bleu; and I also took a picture of my favorite meal to eat while I lived in China: I call it potato noodle hot dish.

Slight edits were made on four photos. Shrub, French chicken, Sunset, and Cloud mountains all had a little editing done with brightness/contrast. French chicken and Cloud mountains also had a bit of tweaking done with the levels. Other than that, all the photos pictured are the raw photos I took from my camera.
