Winter Morning

Got this one not too far away from Aspen, Colorado.....

Buen tapizado de troncos.

Saludos.

If Ansel Adams did it, why not you? He worked in black-and-white with diffused light, and you're creating a similar repetition with cool colors sidelit with a warm morning glow. These very simple pictures are incredibly hard to do well, and a significant element of continuity--the snow, which also supports visual organization and depth by the level at which the tree trunks disappear into it--is removed by your cropping. There is considerable interest in the voids where one is able to penetrate into this thicket, as the one above the "ing" in "Morning." Creating cadences and crescendos, as Adams did--he was an accomplished musician--this is hard.

Really beautiful

Charles,

 

Well, the big AA is quiet something, and me just some Swissie photographer with the MM initials another story. What Ansel Adam did, which many of the contemporary american landscape photographers seem to have forgotten - is - to choose another lens than the wideangle. I have seen some amazing magical landscape images on photo.net and wished I would have been there to use another lens and different cropping. And there you are, standing there with me that winter morning, seeing what I saw.
