The image of the mountain was one of the influential landscape photograph that started landscape photography taken by Ansel Adams. The other black and white landscape photograph was taken by Ernest H. Brooks.

The use of different lenses created a nice contrast between the shadows and the light in both the black and white photographs to highlight the important things in these photographs: for example it highlights the seal in the water.

landscape photography shows spaces within the world. they typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man -made features or disturbances of landscapes.

romanticism is an artistic and intellectual movement that originated in Europe in the late 1700’s and categorized by heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individual’s expression of emotion and imagination departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules. It would often be shown in either art pieces or poetry at the time but eventually it evolved into other things like photography.

romanticism has long since been associated with landscape. In photography, the sense of romance and landscape features its prospering spirit. While difficult to categorize, it is uncontrollable and unpredictable because its mostly all about nature.
