Blanket of Flowers

"blanket of flowers"

This pictures is very similar the style of photographs taken by Ansel Adams. I liked the wide spectrum of tone in the flowers and where light hit certain leaves. I used a compositon technique called "monotonous movement". This is when a picture is taken of many similar items which, although similar or even identical, causes the brain to be pulled into the picture because of the vivid tones and details.

The Abyss

"the abyss"

Many of Ansel Adam's pictures involve scenes of pure nature, however I decided to incorporate these railroad tracks. I liked the many different tones that were found in this picture, from the brightness of the tracks and the sunrise, to the darkness of the surrounding trees. The five eights rule was used when i decided on where to place the tracks. I liked this picture primarily because of the converging lines of the tracks into the horizon.

Ansel Adams

This is a picture by the famous photographer, Ansel Adams. I like this picture because of its purity and simplicity. The centering of the tree adds emphasis. I also like how the range of tones found in this picture is very wide.
