Ansel Adams- Rocks
For my first photography blog post I wanted to post something by a true master that captures so many essences of photography that I love. The depth of field in this photo is amazing. The way the rocks sit so close to the viewer and lead your eyes to the base of the mountains and then up into the sky is fantastic. though the rocks as a whole seem to provide a uniform pattern when examining the picture as a whole, they each have their own unique personality and sit together in a fantastically random way.
The beams of light that seem to cascade from the clouds and frame the shape of the mountains also add so much to the photo. It gives the photo an almost surreal feeling and moves this picture beyond just a landscape picture. Ansel Adams had such a gift for looking at landscapes and finding the right shot to capture the very essence of the land. One day I hope to have an eye like his.
