Bayles vs. Adams

I really enjoyed both of the photographers work. I think that they both were wonderful photographers and loved landscape. It is neat to see what different people consider landscape. Bayles seemed to photograph primarely trees and Adams photographed nature. When I think of landscape, I think of a river, a field or the area around it. As we all are finding out with our project we are working on, we all have our own takes on landscape.

Bayles photographs of the trees are beautiful and crisp. The pictures are to the point of what he is trying to photograph, there seems to be a purpose for his pictures. My favorite photograph of Bayles is the picture of the pile of tires with a tree in the middle and the beautiful clouds in the sky. I wish we were able to see that picture in color, I think with what appears to be a beautiful blue sky(with a few clouds) the black tires and the tree it would be just as beautiful as the black and white.

Adams photographs are absolutely beautiful landscapes. When I think of a landscape picture, Adams photos are what I see. Unlike Bayles photographs, there really isn't a main point to his photos. My favorite photograph of Adams is the one of Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake. I love how you can see the mountains, the lake, the tops of the trees and what appears to be a few clouds.
