Nature Of Event: Photography
Ansel Adams is one of my favorite landscape photographers and his exhibition at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park was extraordinary. His use of black and white images depicting monumental still images gave the image more contrast, which in turn, gave way to more dramatic view. More so, if the picture itself was in color. His use of varying angles showed how he payed attention to how certain objects in each photo also represented a visual element seen in other types of paintings. It is unique in the sense that Adams has been able to capture these elements through landscape photography. His photos at the exhibition were very dramatic, some even gave way to the use of motion. A lot of them were very famous national landmarks, such as Half-Dome in Yosemite National Park in Central California to the San Francisco Bay, before the bridge itself was even created. If there was anything I can take away from the event, it would have to be in terms of how using an array of varying angles can affect composition within a piece itself.
