Reaction Paper Four

When I was looking at the photos from both photographers I noticed both similarities and

differences. But I noticed more differences than I did similarities. The only similarity that I noticed between them is that they both like taking photos outdoors. But, that is the only thing that they have in common. The differences that I noticed is that David Bayles likes to take more angle shots and Ansel Adams like to take more straight on pictures. Another thing that I noticed is that David takes more pictures of trees, while Ansel like to take pictures of scenery and landscaping. Even though they both are different in many ways, they are both still really good photographers.

David Paul Bayles picture seem more like they are moving. I think the reason for that is because he takes his pictures at a angle instead of straight on. Also, because of the forest pictures and the falling trees pictures. He took that picture in a way that it looks like they are moving, even though they were still. The picture that I like the most of his is the one of a pile of tires with a tree in the middle. I love this picture, but I would loved to have seen it in color and in black & white.

The pictures that Ansel Adams took seemed to be still. Even though his pictures look very still they are still very breath taking. I really like the way that he does not focus on just one object in particular. Of all of his pictures I really like the series of the ocean looking down from a cliff. I think that this picture is truly beautiful. To me it looks like something that people fly thousands of miles to see. After, looking at the photos from both artists I like Adams the most.
