Eliot Porter Photography

I have a very intense interest in nature photography and I found Eliot Porter's photography especially intriguing. I could not stop looking through his collection of nature photography on his website. This man has been through many different parts of the world taking pictures of live and fulfilling beautiful places around the world. This one image of a small waterfall really captured my eye not just because of the nurturing colors and textures surrounding the water fall but the water itself. The slow shutter speed of the water looks so gentle, soft, and cooling to the touch. The reflection in the water is also rather breathe-taking. 


 A fast shutter speed can be determined here in this fascinating image. As a mother or father bird leaves the nest of its young ones, the baby birds have their mouths wide open as though they are calling out to their parent to "come back" or I'm hungry again!" The nest where the baby birds lay looks quite sturdy and looks like it took a very long time to create. The sharp details of the blue and black birds wing-span is very great and so alive and free. Taking the chance to sit back to see wildlife is an amazing thing to view in this world. 


This forest looks dense and lonesome. It looks like a photograph from a movie with a character making their way through these woods and not noticing that their being watched. The great height of the trees are appealing to the eye and the open space is vast as well. Not a single animal or person can be seen in this photograph and that is another reason why this photograph is interesting. The height of where the tree's stands look like high place so I will have to assume the plantation and grounded soil where the tree's stand are high up.
