Zone density
One can not embrace the 'New Topographics' movement of the 1970's with their human altered landscapes without giving attention to the man who introduced the poetic beauty of nature through his impeccably rendered images.
I have always looked for that one scene which would offer the chance to grasp the range of tonality which Ansel Adams was famous for.
His one image I am particularly enamored by because of how it runs the range of zone densities is "Silverton Colorado 1951".
I also like the way he manages the perspective or lack thereof in the scene.
There at the side of the road I finally found that zone rich location I was searching for.
It is apparent after seeing my previous recent monochrome images that though they have fair black and white harmonics in comparison this analog photo and it's nuances and lighting is my little treasure.
