Landscape Journal


Photo by Ansel Adams

This landscape is interesting to me because of the tree. I like how its branches stretch to one side, and how the trunk twists. I also like the shawdow that it creates over the rocks. This photo was taken in Yosemite park. I haven't been there, but I would like to visit it sometime. My favorite part of this photograph is the tree, because of how its not growing up, like you think a tree would, but out instead.

The fact that the photo is black and white gives really good depth to the picture. The contrast of the white clouds and the almost black shadows aids the composition. The over all composition of the photo is great. The tree creates line, making your eye take in the entire picture, and not just the tree itself. I wouldn't change anything about the photo. If I were there at that moment, I would climb the tree, and stand at the very top of it.
