Inspirational Photography

One of the most inspiring photographers I find to be in the art world are some of the works of Ansel Adams he is probably one of the most amazing, if not amazing landscape photographers of all time. Landscape photography is so difficult i feel because it's strictly based on the lighting of the daytime or night time depending on how you want your picture to come out, you can always just take a picture of whatever you see at whatever particular time of day it is because nature is beautiful no matter how the light shines on a mountain however it's always nice to capture that exact perfect moment of the sun shining just the right way on a landscape scenery.

This is one of Ansel Adams most famous portraits entitled "Moon over Half Dome"
I love how the moon makes the whole picture if you think how it would look if it was there I feel it would ruin the whole purpose of this picture, this picture in my opinion really shows how great the world is and massive, these huge mountainesque landscapes are nothing compared to the "tiny" moon if you were to be as close to it as the mountain is to you. It's totally a shift of perspectives.

The lighting contrast in this picture is magnificent. I really love the way he portrays the snow on the lighter colored trees with the snow of the mountain in the background and in the foreground or middle ground there are darker trees which contrast with the colors and reflection of the lake which i think is amazing in esthetic quality.




I also really like this picture because of the white and black contrast with more white than black but the darkness of the tree trunk really accentuates the colors of the snow and snow shadows. I really love how he recognized that and is able to capture it on film because this is really a most amazing photographer and his picture.
