For my first entry I decided to write about the photography of Ansel Adams because I found his photographs of landscapes and the natural world the most compelling. I thought his photographs of snow covered landscapes and natural objects to be the most helpful during our first assignment because we had to shoot outside during several snow storms. While looking at his photographs it reminded me of the objects I attempted to photograph albeit not as well.
I felt as if he took natural occurring objects that may not be considered important made them seem important. For example the oak tree is is a single snow covered tree but he made it seem like one of a kind. I also like how he uses a wide depth of field to capture the cracks in the mountain as well as the reflections in the stream.
