Ansel Adams Nature Photography

This photo is me trying to copy a photo that is similar to on that Ansel Adams would have taken. This photo that I took is of a tree down at the bottom of Mercy high school. This photo was taken in the yearly morning around 7:45, on a cold day. This photo was taken in a forested area that is at the bottom of a hill at Mercy. I took this photo because I believe that it looks like a photo that Ansel Adams would have taken. When I took this photo I was kneeing down in order to emphasis the size of the tree, another way that I emphasized the size of the tree was taking the photo tilted rather than straight across. The element that I can see in this photo is obviously lines because that is the shape of the tree, that is the main focus of the photo. The principle that is in the photo is proportion, because there are smaller trees in the back of the photo that makes this tree look even bigger.
