Not only is this NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY (natural water shots), but it also illustrates how a SERIES of photos (like your final project) on the same theme can really stand as a powerful collection of work...
So... the problem is...
We have seen soooooooooooo many nature photographs, it is really hard to capture a unique image that makes someone take notice.
Clark Little does this by photographing a natural phenomenon we've all seen before- but he does it in a cool way.
What are some problems he might have with his method?
Would you ever buy a BOOK of nature pictures? What sort of natural phenomenon would YOU BUY A BOOK ABOUT? (personally, I am into volcanoes)
What aspect of nature could/would YOU want to travel around and photograph (other than waves)???
What are some ways, other than book sales, that he could make money off of these pictures???

I wouldn't buy a book of nature pictures, but if I did, it would have to be one of the Amazon and other rainforests. The one aspect of nature that interests me, would have to be wildlife and forests. One way he could make money, is to involve the picture in advertising, meaning the picture would spread to a wider audience.
J.Richardson P.1
One problem you he might have with his method is not taking the picture at the right moment. I am not sure if I would buy a book of nature photo's. If I did buy a book of nature it would probably be of those really cool rocks that have the different colors on the inside.
B. Watson Period:1
Some problems that he might have are being able to take the photos and being about to snap the picture at the right time. I wouldnt buy a nature book, but if I did then I would but one of snowy mountains. I would travel around to take pictures of all the mountains around the world. You could make money by selling these as pictures for peoples houses or offices.
T.Horne P1
I would definitely buy a book full of nature pictures. Another way that he could make money is that he could sell his photo's to national geographic or other magazines, news agencies, or scientists. A problem he might have is that there are only a few places in the world that make waves like this and have good weather at the same time.
D. Riley P.1
some problems you might have is getting the camera wet, or people stealing your photos (off the internet). I would not buy a book of nature pictures , unless it was animals too. I would love to travel around and capture the sunset. your could make calendars, or cards to help sell these photos.
A.Johnson P.1
This method would probably be really hard to do, all things considered! I would probably buy a book of nature pictures, just because I like looking at stuff like that, and it would probably have something to do with small things like.. dew on flowers or dirt close up or something. Interesting. And unnoticed. Something I would photograph would be droplettes! like when it rains or when a sink is leaky. Calendar's probably make a pretty penny with nature shots.
A Gonzalez P1
Some problems he might have with this method is timing the picture. The waves come and go so fast so he has to always be ready. I love the wave pictures. It makes me want to go back to Hawaii so bad! I would want to travel around and capture pictures of animals in Africa. Some other ways to make money off of these pictures are to make calendars, posters, and murals with them.
K.Kolsut Period.1
Some problems he might phase is sharks in the waves or getting hit down by a wave. I wouldn't buy a book of nature pictures because spending money on that win you can just look on the internet for free, but they are really pretty. If I traveled and photographed nature I would want to take pictures of the surrounding areas that are pretty, I guess.
V. Smith P.1
some problems he might have taking this picture is what if his camera gets wet while taking it? yes i would buy a book of natural pictures, it would probably be about nature and wild life.
G.Taylor P.1
He might have problems of not taking the picture at the right moment. I might buy a picture of nature if it was about animals and their habitat and stuff. If I could travel around and take pictures of anything I would take pictures of wildlife in the woods or the forest. He could make money off these pictures by selling them.
S. Matheson Period. 1
I would not buy a book of nature pictures. One issue is that he may take the picture at the wrong time. I would buy a book about rainforests. I would travel to the worlds oceans to take pictures of the different wildlife there. He could make them into pictures to hang in peoples houses.
-A. Haunschild Per. 1
I wouldn't buy a nature book, but if I did it would be of tsunamis, hurricanes, things like that. I would love to photograph animals in their natural habitat, like forest or jungles. He could make money off these pictures by selling them to a magazine like National Geographic, or by using them to help promote vacation sites or something
c.brewer period 1
Clark may have problems because he has to make sure he takes the picture at the perfect timing. If i was to buy a book of nature photography im not sure what types of scenes i would like. If i were to photograph nature it would probably be water settings.
K. Derschmidt P.1
These pictures would be hard to take endless your surfing. I would buy a book of these and more. I would photograph places in africa like the bush. These could be sold in ads or magazines and billboards or just framed and sold.
I wouldn't buy a book of nature photos, because that gets boring to look at after a while. I would want to travel to the rainforest and take pictures of all the exotic animals, that would be so cool and actually interesting to look at. He could sell the pictures to magazines, and make money.
E.Zitzelberger P.1
One problem Clark might face is being unable to capture a shot at the right moment. I wouldn't ever bug a book of nature pictures. If I had to buy a book on a natural phenomenon it would probably be about conserving water or saving endangered species. I would like to travel the world and photograph different countries to focus on water that countries don't have access to. Some ways that Clark could make money off his pictures would be to sell them to museums or to auction them off to people willing to buy them to raise money.
M.Christensen p.1
These pictures would be hard to take endless your surfing. I would buy a book of these and more. I would photograph places in africa like the bush. These could be sold in ads or magazines and billboards or just framed and sold.
G.Joers
Period 1
I would not buy a book of nature pictures because there's not much you can do except look at it repeatedly. I can do that on the internet for free. I would like to photograph stars and other stuff that is related to the galaxy and space. He could make money of off his pictures by making them into postcards.
M. Silva P.1
He could have a problem with the pictures because it is a shot that won't happen again most likely. I wouldn't buy the book because I personal do not care for the pictures. I would want to photograph forests/hunting areas.
A.Deeds P.1
no i would never buy a book with nature pictures in it. i would buy a book about animal medicine and veterinary care. one thing in nature that i would want to travel around and take pictures of is probably un-domesticated animals. he could send them to national geographic or print them on canvas and sell them.
S.McQuown period 1
i problem i can foresee him having is when the wave hits him he could lose the camera in the water. If i was to buy a book of nature photos, I'd want it to be filled with animals. they're so much more fun to look at then plants. I personally love taking pictures of trees. It sounds pretty lame but i love it.
T.Hess P.1
Getting the right place at the right time to even surf one of these waves is hard, but taking a focused picture, it just seems so hard. I would take pictures of the melting sea ice, it would be really symbolic in an attempt to get a message across. Someone could make posters out of these, I wouldn't mind waking up to this in the morning.
T. Losness, Period 1
Some problems might be getting a really good picture in the first place! It sounds like a problem already just trying to get the perfect angle of the wave and a bit of the landscape in the background. I personally would buy a book of natural pictures because i believe pictures often captures a very special moment we often don't notice. I would buy a book about underwater tornados. Somewhere i would go for pictures of nature would be to the oregon coast just because i believe we can never get enough from our coast. You could sell pictures to magazines or ads.
J.Rosales P.1
I would buy a Photography book. I like to look at many pictures of nature and all. Pictures show a very special time and moment. Things you can never replace.
T.Beard Per.2
I think it would be very hard to actually get a picture like those pictures. Because timing waves would be pretty hard because they are pretty fast, and it would be hard to focus on each wave. I dont think I would want to buy a nature book of pictures in it. I would like to take pictures in Africa, with the wild life.
T.Fryett P.2
I probably wouldn't by a book about nature, but if I did it would be one of Oceans. I would take pictures of leaves falling. I think those pictures could turn out pretty and could be quite nice. He could make money selling these pictures as postcards as well.

B. Ennis Period 2
Clark Little's method of photographing things that we have all seen but doing it in a 'cool way' is that he has to take the PERFECT shot, nothing can be messed up or else it will be just as the rest. It would be way more difficult to have to take pictures everyone see's in a different and unique way. But its cool that he is willing to take the challenge.
A problem could be getting another really good shot. I wouldn't buy a nature picture book, but if I got it as a gift I wouldn't be totally disappointed. I would want to take pictures under water of like fish. That'd be real cool. He could post these pictures on the internet to make money.
C.Rankin
P.2
I think some problems with this would be that what of he dropped his camera in the waves and lost if forever? If I had a choice I would want to go around the world and take picture of animals. He could print the pictures in frames or have them painted to sell them.
A.boland p.2
I think these pictures are so amazing but i feel like it would be really hard to get the perfect pictures. I dont think i would ever buy a book of nature pics but if I did it would probably be one of oceans. I would want to photograph rain forests or tropical things like that. He could frame these pictures and sell them or put them on postcards.
S. Lovell
p.2
The frozen nature photo is pretty cool. I would like to see the picture be taken because i feel like it would be pretty hard. Nature photos are probably my favorite types of photos.
T. Fischer Period. 2

M.Preston P.2
He could have problems with getting a focused shot within such a small time frame. I dont think i would buy a nature book because I'm just not really into it that much. I think if i could take pictures of any nature it would be some type of water source.He could make money by maybe hiring someone to paint his pictures and make profit off of that.
K. Nagel P.2
Some problems he might have would be that id be hard getting those shots. If i were to buy a nature book i would get one with all kinds of nature. I would take photos of hights because i like hiking and going to places people have never been. Picture that hang in peoples house could be a way to make money other then books.
M. Melhus P. 2
Some problems that he might experience is getting the perfect picture because the water is constantly moving. Or if he wants to have sun in the background, then he has to wait for the perfect time. I don' think I would buy a nature book because I don't buy books. But if I was able to get one for free, then I definitely would and i would get a beach one. Beaches fascinate me. Other than waves, I would photograph tropical forests or jungles. He could probably hire someone to do aitnings of his work, or he could make posteres of them.
G. Williams P.2
His work looks amazing. It must be hard getting the perfect timing, the lighting just right, and making sure there isn't anyone else in the photo. Although i like the photos, i probably wouldn't buy a book of nature photos.
M McClure P. 2
If I were to buy a book of nature it would be either of lightning or fire. If I were to travel around and photograph nature, I'd photograph the Northern Lights in Alaska. Other than book sales, these pictures can be sold as enlarged photos to have on people's walls, or on postcards.
K.Seibold
It could be dangerous to capture pictures of waves like that. Probably not I don't really buy books. Maybe earth quakes. I'd like to photograph animals in their natural habitat. Web sites maybe?
A.Thomson
P.2
I think i would buy a book of nature pictures because I love nature photos in general. I would by a book filled with only photos of animals and nature photos. I thin that the aspect of nature I would want to photograph is nature in general.
A.Willis P.2
I feel it would be very difficult to do what she has done with timing waves. It would be hard to get the sun right behind or in the wave. Just trying to get the perfect wave while balancing on a surf board. I wouldn't buy a book of nature shots but I would buy pictures that could be framed around my house and I would buy ocean themed pictures like this!
Some problems you may face while taking these pictures is damage to the camera or the person. Also sometimes you can stand there and take them other times you can only get the shot once. I would buy nature photography book only if it also had facts or notes on the pictures. An example would be pictures of the Teta Trench with a side note saying how deep it is or what lives in it. I would want to travel around and take pictures of caves, hills or ravines.
Jesse M.
Per 2
The problem is you really only have a second to take the shot and make it nice. I would buy a book of birds I already have some. I would like to travel and photograph animals.
D.Jansen P.2
Its going to be hard to take it like that everytime.
Umm sure cause they would all be real pictures so it would be cool to see things that nature present.
tornadoes

sprague a. period 2
He could get caught underneath a wave and make him hit his head on coral.I would buy a book of nature and it would be on lightning and tornado storms. If I could I would go around and find pictures of Storms myself.
A.Herberger P.2
Some problems he might have is that nature is extremely hard to photograph and I think that his personnel technique would increase the difficulty even more. I would buy a photography book of just everything nature, and possibly take some tips from it too. I would like to photograph jungles and exotic places and animals. Well people could buy the pictures or be used in movies or advertisements.
Ian M-W
Period 2
The problem with taking those is he can get tooo in to it and a wave hit him and he dies... Sad story. Buut they are absolutely amazing!!! And worth the risk of death(:
A.Lindberg p.2
The only problems I could think of which this photography is missing your shot, getting taken away by the waves :/ n stuff like that. I would consider buying a book of nature pictures. If I did it would be a book of sunsets or graveyard pictures in the middle of night. The pictures could be used to make posters raise awareness on pollution in oceans n what washes up on beaches.
~ C. West P.2
So many surf and vacation magazines use photos of water and waves so clearly if youre going to photograph waves you have to be good at it. Clark Little uses the sun and natural lighting to make his photos so much better. If I were to buy a book of nature pictures it would be of coral reefs and exotic fish because the colors are sureal and I definitely cant see that everyday. Not even by visiting the pet store. I would want to photograph jungles and exotic animals because then I could show other people what is really out there. Clark Little doesnt need to only sell his pictures in books, he could also sell post cards, make a magazine like National Geographic or do advertisements.
R. Drake Period 3
He might have problems with taking the photo in time, he probably has to to time it just right and only have a few seconds to take it just right. I would buy a book of different flowers i guess of nature or different forest photos. I would travel for different flowers of the world. He could do it to advertise for different islands or places for tourists.
s.Young per.3
I think the big problem about this method is waiting for the right moment. You would have to be fast about taking the picture too, because it will go away in a second. I wouldn't buy a book of nature photos. I'd just google the photos and get them free! He could make portraits or get some people to paint them.
R.Jacobs p.3
these wave pictures are soo crazy! these had to be so hard to take. you would have to at the right place at the right time in order to get most of these shots. i think that the most common problem would be that your camera would have to be water proof and it would take you for ever to get the picture that you would be looking for.
J . Benjamin
p.3
It really depends on what i was into at that time. If it was about the ocean and ocean animals of nature then personally i think i would. If i was a pro photographer then i would try and do ocean photography. If that was my life time job i would love it.
T.Munoz Per.3
I think the problems he took were with finding these encounters.Most of them were naturally occurring and as such would be difficult to capture.
I'd say if I were to buy a book of nature it would have to be about the coral reefs and ocean related things.
I I could photograph things I'd have to take photos of deep water things under the waves.
You could make money by maybe painting them on a canvas and transferring digital images to painted brush strokes
J, Brady Per.3
I think these are really cool. Kinda reminds me that there's always a little light at the end of the tunnel. I think he could make money off these by selling them to National Geographic or a wildlife magazine like that. If I bought a book I'd but one on Tornados or Volcanoes.
J. Gallagher Per.3
The problem with taking these pictures is that sometimes you wouldn't even get good shots & you would have to retake them over and over again. Also, you would get washed away after the wave came down. This seems really hard but some people are just so good so they get great shots.
S.Orozco P.3
I think the main problem he would have is getting into the right position at the right time. If I were to buy a book of nature photos I would get one of volcanoes because they are cool looking. I would travel around mountains and get cool pictures of untouched nature.
B. Leonetti Per. 3
The only problem I could think of would be missing your shot, or getting into the spot you want to take a picture of. I would want to take pictures of Mountains and snowy places. You could get money taking pictures for magazines.
B. Comiskey P.3
The problem that comes to my mind would be timing. I would never just buy a book full of just nature pictures. I would maybe buy one on tsunamis or something to do with the ocean. I would travel for like weather photos. He could blow them up and frame and sell them.
B.Little Per.3
Some problems that he might have are timing and weather. I feel like waves would be really hard to take pictures of. I would never buy a book but I would buy specific pictures that I like and frame them and put them around my house.
E.Wymore Period 3
Taking a picture like this would be incredibly difficult, because you would have to focus the camera and balance on a surf board. I am not sure if i would but a picture of waves, but i would get a picture of lightning. I would take photos of volcanoes, because they're awesome.
I feel like to get a really amazing picture, it would take a reaaaaallly long time. Nature isn't predictable & waves never are. I really like nature books with flowers. Since I'm allergic to pollen, looking at flowers in pictures is as close as I wanna get. I would want to travel to the rain forests. They have so many undiscovered things, I would want to be a person who uncovered something with my camera.
E. Angier P.3
i thing the big problem would be getting a focused shot while you are surfing. I think if i would buy a nature book it would be of lighting photos. i would want to photo graph country photos.
B.Nowland P.3
some problems are that he could encounter are timing it at the right time. i would buy a book on horses. i would want to do horses.
S.Snyder P.3
Some problems with this method is focusing the camera on the object you want it focus on. I would buy a book of natural water aspects or valleys. I would want to travel and photograph valleys or snowy mountains.
L.Katzberg Period 3
I don't know and don't really care about his methods because he takes legit pictures of surfing! yeah i would buy a book of nature photo's, who wouldn't? they have to be cheap though.. i would wanna photograph snowboarding, sports and skidiving and bunjee jumping an squirl diving. He can put them in portriats or borders and sell his really good ones on the streets.
D.Podloujnyi Per 3
If the pictures were cool I would buy a book about the ocean. It would be better if their was animals. The pictures are more intents because the are very clear to see.
D Guisinger
p.3
Some of the problems with frozen nature photos is you really can't control nature. If I were to go around the world photographing things, I would take pictures of rocks and rock formations. Also another way to make money on photography is selling a fully blown up photo to post on a wall.
S. Jost Per. 3
If something goes wrong then he has to start all over again. Lakes and mountains because if you take the right picture it well look amazing. I would buy a book that has more than one kind of nature pictures.
A.Stumbaugh P.3
I think I'd buy a nature book about fish in the ocean. I'd want to travel around in different parts of the ocean of the fishies because they are cool. You can sell them to seafood restaurants or aquariums.
S.Quintanilla. Per 1
Some problems he might have with this method is danger in the fact that he has to be in the wave to get the photos and he might be sucked down by the water and another problem might be that when the wave slams into him that he might loose hold of his camera and they his camera is gone. Yes, I would buy a book of nature pictures because pictures of nature are my favorite type of pictures and the type of natures pictures I would purchase would be pictures of tropical places ad cooler places with snow and ice. I would want to travel around to tropical places and take pictures of beautiful flowers and plants. He could make money off of these pictures by selling them to advertisements such as commercials or as a label on products.
M. Whitman P-2
He might have problems with his method when he is taking pictures from inside the wave because it moves so fast and he gets smashed by the wave when it lands. I wouldn't buy a book of nature pictures. I would travel around the world and photograph small creatures on the beach because there are so many and they're really interesting.

Another way he could make money off these pictures is selling some big versions of them.
M.Orton P.1
I would go to Germany and take photos of the old castles they have. The mountains and snow fall shows how beautiful Germany really is. I like Clarks style very much.
J.Martin per.1
I think that taking nature pictures could be easy and hard. Some of the motion nature pictures could be pretty hard. If i did by a book about nature it would probably be of animals or the ocean.
