For this post, I'm comparing the photo by Ansel Adams, and the one taken by Thomas Joshua Cooper, as posted on the class blog. The Ansel Adams photo is taken from a distance, and is a distinct picture of a waterfall seemingly deep in the woods. I do like how the trees frame the side of the photo too. It's a very serene, very natural shot. You see and understand exactly what Ansel was trying to capture. The T.J. Cooper shot, however, is somewhat different. The photo is of a mist, but it is hard to make out exactly what it is. The bottom of the picture seems to be some cables that the mist reveals, and the sides seem to be framed by some rock. The shot is taken from a short distance too, and that adds to the ambiguity.
