Ansel Adams- Yosemite
I couldn't help doing one more Ansel Adams photograph. This is one of his most famous shots and I think it is a great example of his excellent eye for composition. In studying photography we learn about the rule of thirds which this photograph captures in every direction, up, down, and sideways. I love how the tree flows across the photo pulling your eyes back and forth. The shadows and lines on the rocks guide your eyes across the bottom of the photo and back around through the tree again. Nothing pulls the viewers eyes from the frame and the rocks and tree form a frame for the distant and majestic peaks in the background. This photograph encapsulates the idea of what landscape photography is.
