Amanda Knudsen's Reaction Paper #4

These two photographers gave such an interesting new look at landscapes and nature. I noticed that Ansel Adams had an eye for the extreme contrast and texture that was presented in his photos. David Paul Bayles seemed to experiment with negative and positive space, and angles. They both made photos in black and white which gave their work a simplicity feeling to it, but with a little quirkiness added into the shot gave the photos that pop. They both also played around with lengths(vertically and horizontally). My favorite photo overall is the one 'Gelatin Silver Point' by Ansel Adams. The different textures from the sharp rocks to the soft clouds created such great contrast in the photo. They both brought landscape photography to a whole other level.

  1. This photo was also one of my favorites. The contrast and the sunlight in the background looks amazing.
