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.
