Black and white photography: Ansel Adams.

Ansel Adams took considerable time to create visual harmony in his compositions, even if he didn't follow the rule of thirds. His photographs were often defined by wide views, huge mountains, and tiny details of the natural world. He uses the natural light in his images to add contrast and depth. He often took pictures in the "golden hour," when the light is softer and creates long shadows and warm tones. His photographs' dramatic and three-dimensional qualities were greatly improved by his use of light and shadow. Adams mainly used large format cameras, such as the 4x5 view camera. The images he take has high-resolution with many subtle details. 

For my pictures, I've used my phone camera to take. Although I don't have the wide angle like his, I tried his photography style by using monotoned colors when I take pictures. My pictures weren't taken precisely at the "Golden Hour" but I picked these specific images because the light seemed warm and similar to how Ansel Adams take his pictures.
