Ansel Adams

      Before Ansel was attending private school, his father and aunt tutored him at home.  They did this because Ansel was not successful in the many schools he attended before that. Besides being a photographer, Ansel thoroughly enjoyed nature. He taught himself to play the piano and read music at the age of twelve. His first fully visualized photograph was created in 1927. This photo was the monolith, The Face Of Half Dome. Many other interesting things happened to Ansel during the course of his life as well. When Ansel was four he badly broke his nose during an earthquake. Also, the diploma that Ansel earned from all his schooling was equivalent to earning an 8th grade diploma. Ansel was born into a very wealthy family, but in 1907 the family fortune collapsed.


I chose this photo because it really stood out to me. There is so much contrast everywhere. The way that the tree is all black on a murky white background makes it really stand out.

Found Panorama

 I like this panoramic photo because the clouds look really awesome. I like how they are curved, it makes them really pop out at you. Also, I really like the perspective of this photo.

I really like this panoramic photo because it seems as if the shoreline goes on forever. The way it is curved makes you feel like it is right next to you and as your eyes follow the shoreline it slowly converges into the grass.
