Thanks for submitting another assignment.
I’m glad you’re keen to get going. I would recommend that you receive your critique for each assignment before moving onto the next assignment! 😉
I hadn’t heard of Kane Glendhill but I’ve taken a look at some of his image and the are indeed quite nice.
I’m not sure what you mean when you say that you:
connect with his seizures
Maybe you can help me with that one?
I love your story about your hike and your mountain. It seems as though this assignment wasn’t even needed for you because you’re already had an epiphany. You already know why you are inspired to take great photographs.
Here is the photograph you mention in your piece:

It is indeed a nice photograph. He is presenting these images with a nice ultra wide aspect ratio with lots of saturation.
In fact here are the settings that we’re used on this image:
Date Time Original 2011:09:18 05:46:20
Exposure Time 44
F Number f / 8
ISO Speed Ratings 100
Metering Mode Pattern
Flash Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
Focal Length 26mm
White Balance Auto white balance
Make Canon
Model Canon EOS 5D Mark II
LensInfo 17/1 40/1 0/0 0/0
LensModel EF17-40mm f/4L USM
Lens EF17-40mm f/4L USM
Given the long length of the exposure you can be sure that a very strong neutral density filter was in use.
Nice job here.
Keep that inspiration with you whenever you shoot and you’ll do great!
