Ansel Adams Copy

This photograph is my own response to Ansel Adam's photograph which can be seen in the previous post. The purpose of capturing this photograph was to try to copy Adam's work as best as possible, this would obviously include differences in terms of location and the composition. However despite the differences I think that this copy has worked well as I have approached the photograph in a similar manner e.g. capturing the sun behind the tree in the background, using black and white as well as capturing the tree in a silhouette appearance allowing me to focus on capturing the detail of the branches. The photograph was originally captured in colour and transferred to black and white to follow Adam's same approach. Unlike Adam's photograph, this photograph captures the reflective glare of the sun, making the sun appear slightly bigger. This photograph is also slightly different in terms of composition such as capturing the grass within the foreground, this area is highlighted due to the tones used from using black and white.
