Jeffrey Pine, Sentinel Dome
Ansel Adams, as a victim of great San Francisco earthquake, was interested in depicting crooked or unusually existing pieces of the nature. He badly broke his nose during that earthquake, and he echoed his bad memory into his great landscape photography. This photo had taken from many different points of view, but this point of view showed the uniqueness of the scene effectively.

In this photo, he tried to capture the very basic elements of the photography. His composition was perfect in a way that he could lead the viewers’ eyes first to the tree and then to the framed mountains in the back. The braches echoed the shape of the peaks as the shadow of the same branch inversely did. Horizontal lines divided the photo into horizontal bands. In addition, Ansel Adams used rule of thirds very efficiently. Ansel Adams led the viewers’ eyes to the lower left, where one of the virtual intersection points existed.
Storm and Rocks, Tımber COve
In this photo, Ansel Adams adds danger of the nature to the landscape he captures. Rusticity and the nostalgia completely leave the moment and reflect the reality. Since f64 is the widest f-stop to catch the largest point of view, we can see the clearest image of the moment.

Movement of the wave and the stillness of the rocks create a contradictory scene. What we have to think applaud about this photo is the correct timing. If he doesn’t push the button on right time, this moment will be meaningless. Also, the balance between white, foamy waves and dark, solid rocks creates a balance between black and white.

Point Sur, Storm
Ansel Adams made a combination of what the previous artists want to do. The sublime view, the rusticity and the nostalgia are the main ideas of the previous photography. You may say that Ansel Adams completely destroys the idea of rusticity, but he clearly manipulates the sublime, aesthetically perfect but also realistic, atmosphere. He removes the idea of safety in nature in a realistic manner which his group f64 manifested. If you compare Adams’ photos to John Hill’s painting, View by Moonlight, Near Fayetteville, you will easily see the change. The safeness of the nature and the warm atmosphere of the night are changed into to the wild and destroying nature.

Mount Williamson
In this photo, what we can observe is the piece and whole relation. As f64ers wants to show the reality, this is the Ansel Adam’s way to show the real side of the objects. More interesting part of this photo is the point of view it was taken. It is taken from under the eye level, so it creates an effect that the mountains are higher than they are. Also, the light plays a huge in role in this photo. The sun rays above the mountains

generate mysticism, so that in some ways Ansel Adams repeats what previous artists want to do but what he misses: rusticity and nostalgia.
