Photos which havean impact on me This landscape photo is called island in the sky, it was taken on April the 28th by Shane Kalyn There is an ghostly, otherworldly feeling to this photograph, it is a little island in the middle of Tumuch Lake. The island seems to be floating in the clouds, as well as being upside down if you look at it’s shadow closely. It screams the words ‘lost’ and ‘freedom’ to me as the island is literally in the middle of no-where. I like that the clouds and sky seem to be identic; where as when generally drawing you would ensure the sky and water were different shades. However if you were to look very closely you can see ripple in the water from fish gulping for air.
- 13. This simple wildlifephoto is taken by Joe Motohashi, I like the contrast between two colours that aren’t usually placed together, but still creating a remarkable effect. The main focus is on the bird, and every feather on it. The blurred background of the flowers help to form this picture with many minor details, giving the viewer more to look at. The bird white eye stands out to me, especially due to being centre of the photograph. I articulates to me the words ‘peace’ and ‘wonder’.
- 14. This landscape photois called underwater park. Taken by Marc Henauer on May 31. It shows a long shot of a park which floods after every spring, the melting snow creates a dreamscape in Tragöss, Austria. I have chosen this photo because I opposition of reality e.g. park under the water rather than part of the park. I also love the different textures and colours as you look across the image. The blue flippers stand out to me, blending in with the water behind. The environment although has been destroyed by the water is still placed perfectly, the angle gives a wide view of the whole area, letting the viewer get a real feel for what is there.
- 15. This Abstract/nature photographis called ‘Blue Ghost Fireflies’ taken in North Carolina by Spencer Black. The forest floor is traced with the movement of blue ghost fireflies I like how the photographer has taken the detail in making the lens close slowly in order to capture the ‘moving’ fireflies. The darkened trees and background help emphasise the bright glow from the fireflies, showing the random paths each one has taken.
- 16. This landscape photo was taken by Julie Fletcher. The dramatic colours of water and sky aside makes a perfect caption of ‘perfect disaster’. The branches of the trees reflect bolts of lightning and give the impression that it has occurred many times before. I like how the sand still seems golden and the water still shimmering blue, however the sky is darkened, with brightened rays from the bolts, creating a real contrast.

- 20. Shane Kalyn ShaneKalyn is a photographer from Canada and has a strong passion for the ‘natural world’ (four natural elements; air, earth, fire & water), since he can remember. He has photographing it for the last 10-15 years. He has had many privileges of taking photos on many corners of the planet and enjoy seeing what's around that next corner. His hobbies (travel and photography) are slowly progressing into more and more. None of the photographs are of animals in captivity all the animals are wild; in their natural habitat. Most of his photos are for the national geographic competitions/websites. Favourite
