The Rockies near Bluerock

PCA 301 - Emulate Ansel Adams

Take a picture int he style of the great B&W landscape photographer, Ansel Adams

 

The first picture I took was rushed and not quite what I had wanted to capture, especially with the mountains so close to me. So, the day the assignment was due, I packed a picnic for the kids and I and we took an hour drive to the mountains. We stopped at a road side pull out and ate while I took pictures. It was great fun. We saw two black bears and then we threw rocks into the creek.

 

In post, I blended two pictures at different exposures together. This is the first time I've tried this and have been quite pleased with my efforts.

 

I realize that this does not "deserve" a critique, - I have already a picture posted for this assignment, but am very happy to hear any thoughts you have.
