Weather Research

JIM REED.

i went onto the Jim Reed website and was amazed by images. 

Jim Reed is recognized as one of the world's most pioneering and accomplished extreme-weather photographers. Jim has documented record-setting storms for 21 consecutive years in the United States, this includes tornadoes, blizzards, ice storms, and floods. He has documented 19 hurricanes, including Katrina. He is currently doing interviews for TV, radio and print regarding Hurricane Sandy.

JIm's approach to weather photography has been singled out as one of the most unique and interpretive amongst photographers today. His credits include America Online, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Discovery Channel, Microsoft, National Geographic, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.

 Jim has used many skills from this image for example, timing, even though he had to make sure he was a good distance away for health and safety. In most of his images he uses the rule of thirds, the sky which is the top then the middle and the bottom of the picture.                                                                                                                                                 

This picture is really capturing. The way that the lightning has formed a cloud around all of it then the rest of the image is pure black. This captures the audiences attention through out the image. 

This image is nice from the top of the image to the bottom. many of his images show the composition of 'Rule Of Thirds'. i love how many different type of blues there are in the sky. this photograph is so detailed and grapical there are many types of one colour in each section of the photo. 
The shape of the image is good also how the bottom of the sanddune is slightly curved shaped.



  

This image is nice, the way the a strange piece of light comes through the image and ripples across the sea, the light, and the different 

This photo looks almost 3 dimentional. The way that the top cloud is more forthcoming than the others and closer to the camera, The different shades of browns of the grass and meadow, with the darker distance of mountains really gives this image a sense of direction.  

This photo is a nice landscape image. The variation of the trees what are scattered. the different shades of grey on the snow really give it a in depth feel.

This photo really caught my eye. from the composition of distance of the image compared to the sky clouds how its in a particular circle motion. it makes the photo look on edge how at the bottom the sides of the walkway aren't both green in symmetrical view so having it all green on the right hand side makes it look unbalanced.
