Ordover Gallery in Solona Beach Field Trip #1

I visited the Ordover Gallery on Saturday. It was a picture gallery and the main photographer was Abe Ordover. When I visited his gallery I saw a lot of pictures that looked like it could of been painted. For example I viewed his book, Imagining Nature II, and I saw the pictures he took of the water. It looks like he took a paintbrush  and just slurred it around the canvas when really he just timed the photo and took the picture of the water. His pictures had an illusion to them making viewers think that it is a painting but instead it was a picture. 

Another photographer I looked at is Art Wolf. He takes a lot of pictures on nature, cultures and animals. I viewed his book, One World One Gallery. In this book he visits other continents and takes pictures on people, nature and animals. The pictures are really clear and crisp. The quality of the photos make you feel like you are right there. Also I have noticed that the clarity of the photos and the angles of them make it look like the photos are photoshopped. I enjoyed looking at this type of photography because I have never seen photos this clear before.
