Photographer: Paul Raphaelson http://www.paulraphaelson.com/portfolios/wilderness/#24 No title available The photographer, judging by his portfolio likes to take dramatic picture of nature and forgotten areas such as this. This is a city scape.The photograph seems to be of a bridge in a rural area, one that is deserted and forgotten. It could however be a place that is under construction, but the mood evoked by the dark dull colors of the photograph make it seem depressing and forgotten. Paul uses leading line to direct your eyes from the foreground all the way through to the back of the image, because of the bridge. He also used level horizon because the horizon line in the background is straight and level across the back.

Photographer: Brett West http://www.photographywest.com/pages/weston_master_1.html Title: Holland Canal 1971 This is a nature scape. The photograph is of a canal I am assuming is in Holland judging by the title, I really like the leading lines of both the trees and the canal that runs through the picture to the back. However my favorite part of this picture is the reflection of the water. The mood evoked by this picture is scary and moody maybe even a little ghostly because of the fog in the background and the pictures stillness.

Photographer: Sally Mann http://sallymann.com/selected-works/southern-landscapes No title available This is a nature scape. This is a picture of a river of some sort. I liked this picture because it reminds me of my summer house. I like the darkness about it for some reason even though my summer house is a happy place. The mood evoked is that of mystery and spookiness. Sally judging by her portfolio takes a lot of black and white pictures which is my favorite style of photography. She used fill the fame in this picture because the tree and river are going off the page.
