Download or read book Monument Valley in Black and White written by Paul Moore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a photography book, and although some tips are offered to aid others in similar photography, it is not an instruction manual nor is it a travel guide. There is very little text. Monument Valley is a spectacular location where hundreds of Hollywood films have been produced and countless scenes for television programs and commercials have been created. If you should be fortunate enough to travel there please bare in mind that Monument Valley is not a national or state park and that it is part of, and belongs to, the Navajo Nation. You are a guest there, you are in a sacred area and you are in their home. Please behave accordingly. The entrance to Monument Valley is just across the Arizona - Utah border in southern Utah but all the monuments are located in Arizona. I have confirmed this with both maps and discussions with the Navajo people who live there. This would not seem to be a point of contention but it has come up all too frequently. If you are taking a photograph with your lens pointed north then the monument you are photographing is in Arizona but the background is in Utah. Monument Valley is rather remote however there is a new hotel, The View Hotel, that is located at the very edge of Monument Valley, is rather nice and has a good restaurant and is only a short walking distance to a very popular vantage point should you wish to take photographs at dawn. I usually stay at the Hampton Inn in the town of Kayenta Arizona. It is a 22 mile drive to the Valley but I often find many photographic opportunities along the way. The following photographs were taken with an assortment of film cameras over a rather long period. This book contains more than 60 photographs all in black and white.
Download or read book Mastering Photographic Composition Creativity and Personal Style written by Alain Briot and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alain Briot states that, "The personality of the photographer must be present in the image for an artistic photograph to have value." And in this book he sets out to teach the things that are essential in achieving this goal. Following his successful first book, Mastering Landscape Photography, Briot goes beyond the conventional rules of composition and takes on a fresh, new approach to teaching the art of photography. Based upon his personal experiences as an artist, teacher, and photographer, he opens new doors to the reader-doors leading to new ways of seeing and composing images. Briot approaches fine art photography as being a combination of art and technique. In this new book he addresses both of these by presenting artistic and technical information. On the artistic side, Briot introduces artistic concepts that have been rarely, if ever, associated with photography. On the technical side, he presents numerous tools that can help you learn how to create better photographs and provides technical solutions to common photographic problems. The author practices photography as a fine art. What matters most to him is how photography can be used to express feelings and emotions. For Briot, a good photograph must be both artistically inspired and technically excellent. To have just one of these two elements is not enough for a fine art photograph to be successful. Topics include: - How to compose with color, with black and white, and with light - Why you need to consider your audience while composing a photograph - Recreate the emotions you felt when you captured your photographs - How the elements of color-hue, contrast, and saturation-work in your images - How to control the elements that have a visual effect in your photographs - How to draw upon your personal way of seeing and then share your vision - How to diagnose image maladies and apply the proper remedies - How to define a color palette for a specific photograph - How to use compositional elements to develop a personal style Forweword by Tony Sweet

Download or read book Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley written by Thomas J. Harvey and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado River Plateau is home to two of the best-known landscapes in the world: Rainbow Bridge in southern Utah and Monument Valley on the Utah-Arizona border. Twentieth-century popular culture made these places icons of the American West, and advertising continues to exploit their significance today. In Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley, Thomas J. Harvey artfully tells how Navajos and Anglo-Americans created fabrics of meaning out of this stunning desert landscape, space that western novelist Zane Grey called “the storehouse of unlived years,” where a rugged, more authentic life beckoned. Harvey explores the different ways in which the two societies imbued the landscape with deep cultural significance. Navajos long ago incorporated Rainbow Bridge into the complex origin story that embodies their religion and worldview. In the early 1900s, archaeologists crossed paths with Grey in the Rainbow Bridge area. Grey, credited with making the modern western novel popular, sought freedom from the contemporary world and reimagined the landscape for his own purposes. In the process, Harvey shows, Grey erased most of the Navajo inhabitants. This view of the landscape culminated in filmmaker John Ford’s use of Monument Valley as the setting for his epic mid-twentieth-century Westerns. Harvey extends the story into the late twentieth century when environmentalists sought to set aside Rainbow Bridge as a symbolic remnant of nature untainted by modernization. Tourists continue to flock to Monument Valley and Rainbow Bridge, as they have for a century, but the landscapes are most familiar today because of their appearances in advertising. Monument Valley has been used to sell perfume, beer, and sport utility vehicles. Encompassing the history of the Navajo, archaeology, literature, film, environmentalism, and tourism, Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley explores how these rock formations, Navajo sacred spaces still, have become embedded in the modern identity of the American West—and of the nation itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1863, as Union and Confederate armies converged on southern Pennsylvania, the town of Gettysburg found itself thrust onto the center stage of war. The three days of fighting that ensued decisively turned the tide of the Civil War. In The Colors of Courage, Margaret Creighton narrates the tale of this crucial battle from the viewpoint of three unsung groups--women, immigrants, and African Americans--and reveals how wide the conflict's dimensions were. A historian with a superb flair for storytelling, Creighton draws on memoirs, letters, diaries, and newspapers to bring to life the individuals at the heart of her narrative. The Colors of Courage is a stunningly fluid work of original history-one that redefines the Civil War's most remarkable battle.
