Photography Goal

Photography Goal: I like how the image captured a certain aspect of the world. It is an abstract look at nature. I like how it has different colors mixed together to make a dark mood. Also, in the back it is cool how the photographer captured the clouds while raining and the clouds in front not. I want to know how to capture these types of pictures because they are great to look back on and say "wow I took that."

Photography Goal: I like how the picture focuses on the cool arrangement of the space clouds. It has the accent of the stars and the red in the background making the cloud shapes pop out more. The photographer was very lucky to get this picture because it is quite incredible due to the fact that this formation is somewhere in space. I want to learn how to take these pictures because they are very cool and have an awe inspiring look.

Photography Goal: This picture is very interesting because it shows the rotation of the earth in the stars. Also, I think it is cool how the photographer also got the first signs of dawn as well as the end signs of night. This picture is cool because it looks as if the stars are forming a spiral to the depths of space. I want to be able to take these types of pictures to show others.
