Assignment #4- Landscape

This photograph is by Ansel Adams. It's called Winter Sunrise, the Sierra Nevada, from Lone Pine, California and it was taken in 1944.

This landscape strikes me because I think it is beautiful and it stands out to me. I chose this landscape because I like looking at pictures of mountains. I think they are very pretty and unique.

I have never been to California, but I would love to go there. This picture is very pretty and makes me want to go visit it. I've never seen any mountains like this up close.

My favorite part of the photograph is just its simplicity. It is very simple but beautiful. I also like the clouds coming in from the side of the picture.

Color is very important in this picture. The black and white makes the photograph very sophisticated. The contrast in the picture makes the moutains stand out against the black background. I think the composition is very good.

If I had to change one thing in this photograph, I may put it in color. I like colorful pictures... but that's just me! :) If I was in this picture right now.. i'd probably be climbing the mountain because that looks fun to me. I would definitely put myself at the very top of the moutain so I could scream off of it, if I was in this picture!
