Emulating a Professional Photographer

A tree in the middle of a crevice of Lake Shasta

I think this was my most successful image because it looked the closest to Ansel Adams work. I'm not saying it's a shot for shot remake, but it has the same focus of a tree surrounded by rough terrain. All in all, a pretty good emulation of his work if I do say so myself.

The hardest part is recreating the professional's work because you have to try and follow their process or focus, one may get lucky in taking a random photo but in order to truly emulate a professionals work, they have to do so much in order to try and recreate just a slight amount of commonality in one image

I think in the future in order to create stronger images I will try and broaden my way of thinking when it comes to taking a photo. What I mean by that is not just trying to fit something into the lens and see if it comes out okay, but truly understanding that everything in the frame matters
