However, I do like Dykinga’s perception of nature and his ability to highlight the beauty of landscape. Certainly, I will try to develop my own style of photography. Furthermore, one has to choose the best moment at which one can capture the game of light and shadow. In my opinion, this effect is very difficult to achieve because a photographer should choose a certain angle and moment when one can see an interplay of light and shadow. For example, I attempted to emulate his palette in which there is a divide between dark and bright colors. While working on this project, I attempted to recreate some of the techniques used by Jack Dykinga. On the whole, the works of this photographer are of great interest to me. It should be noted that Jack Dykinga is one of those photographers who has made the images of Arizona nature popular among many people (Browden, 1994). Overall, the photographs of Jack Dykinga enjoy considerable popularity among people who like the landscapes of Arizona. There is one detail that attracts the attention of the viewer, in particular one can mention the contrast between bright and dull colors. Overall, these qualities distinguish Jack Dykinga among others.Īdditionally, one can look at the way in which Jack Dykinga photographs Sand Tank Mountains 2.

In my opinion, this effect is difficult to produce because one has to occupy a certain position and use a certain type of camera. The viewer can see how grey color of the mountain is transformed into fiery orange and this image is unforgettable. Moreover, this picture has a very rich palette. It is worth noting that this picture was taken at sunset and but the Moon is still visible.

Overall, I say that such a moment is very difficult to capture and it is a skill of a great photographer. There is horizontal divide that separates shaded and illuminated parts of the mountain.

For instance, one can look at his picture of Petrified Forest National Park 1. There are several qualities of these photographs that make them almost unforgettable. There are several aspects of these photographs that I would like to discuss, namely the interplay of light and shadow and structured space. Moreover, his techniques should be considered by professional photographers who are interested in landscape. Overall, I can say that Jack Dykinga has been able to portray the beauty of nature in Arizona.
