When shooting I only took a few images as there were limited views that I thought were suitable for me to link to Ansel Adams. The things marked in red either need to be fixed or aren’t good and the orange boxes are where the images need to be cropped.
All of my images were taken with a high aperture, the reason for this is so that as much of the image is sharp and in focus at once. This was done because Ansel was a large believer of using high apertures so the true nature of the image is shown and that there was nothing that couldn’t clearly be seen in the image.
All edits and final images I do will be making the images into black and white because all of Adams work was in black and white and it is easier to make the images imposing and bold and it is easier to make the parts I want to stand out, stand out.
When I went to take my photos I made sure to wait for a day when it wasn’t snowing and the sun was right. I also timed my photos so that the sun was always behind or above me when I was taking the photos so that there was no sun in the frame of the photos because at this altitude the sun is very powerful and the snow makes it stronger and brighter. Ideally I would have taken the photos when there was a bit of cloud in the sky to add some drama so the lighting but there wasn’t a day where it was possible.
