PANO ANSEL


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick  
PANO ANSEL
PANO ANSEL

CANADIAN ROCKIES
KANANASKIS COUNTRY
EASTERN SHORELINE.
Alberta Canada
Taken 3 Days Ago.

A tribiute to:
Ansel Adams
HAD HE EVER MADE IT TO MY AREA.

Through some research I cannot find that he was ever in this area
but I know he would have loved it here and
this is the type of shot I feel he might have taken.
Hope I did his memory justice!

  Gorgeous Laura. I'm glad you managed to stay awake. I'm not sure who Ansel Adams was but I'm sure he would be absolutely thrilled at your tribute to him.

  I am just beginning to get to know Ansel Adams and his work and he and I have some uncanny things in common with the styles of images we take. I wonder if he would have had fun in DDR like me? Probably not. I'm kinda crazy that way. But he was a trail blazer so who knows? :)

Thanks Everyone. I'm heading back in next week. I don't plan to come up for air for a while. (Unless it's the good NATURAL HIGH ELEVATION AIR! HA!)

I so much appreciate each comment here. I also hope each of you makes it here some time in your life.
