SACRED WOOD BY BAE, BIEN-U
Sacred Wood is a book showing “how hard can it be to shoot wood and trees”. I thought was pretty easy of “shooting trees”. However, later one, I found the picture Bae took was under special conditions. Firstly, he was using superwide angle + panorama. Well, I did the both job but finding out it was totally different. Later on, I use the field stacking technic, and it changed a little bit and I found I was missing fog in the frame. The next morning, I went to the state park once again and found that there is some fog in the forest but missing sunshine up in the sky. Therefore, I do think it is impossible for me to take those pictures unless there is an epic opening fog around 10 am in the morning. On the other hand, the contrast of the picture really disappointed me in many ways excepts the first two. Most of his are in dark tones, with a lot of sharpness and noise, which are all over enhanced I think. Black and white stands the fog and sunshine out but losing a lot details in black. The lines of compositions are vivid and magical, and I totally have no idea where Bienu found those trees or he just blends trees by using photoshop.

WHITE CUBE BY ELAD LASSRY
White Cube is my favorite one from the three I picked, however, with my current technics and talents, I found that it is impossible to mimic his picture by copying his style. The color contrast and color selects are epic on the modern era, I admit those masterpieces are a full-step forward to the modern commercial pictures. On the other hand, compositions of the pictures really stand out for readers, people know where to focus and Lassry really catches readers’ attentions while making those pictures. For me, I learned a lot from observing the book “White Cube”. From the personal perspective, I wish I have a studio later for my photography career, learning how to use light and contrast to make perfect pictures for modern philosophy.


URBAN LANDSCAPES BY GEORGE TICE
By filming /capturing 1970/80s traditional American street scene and houses, George Tice created a different monochrome feeling for the readers who are interested in urban landscapes. Although the title named urban area, the main aspect of the view was shooting from a small city/town, readers wouldn’t observe anything really urban like New York City or Boston. By lowing the contrast of the building, Tice showed a lot of detailed but not too much over-enhanced post editing on the pictures. On the other hand, the lines of all his pictures fit very well, that make the entire craft into a masterpiece of composition. However, the negative of his picture I do think there is a lack of spirit, that nothing of the architectures really shows something punches readers’ heart. One thing really interesting which I found from his later carrier was the focus of his talent, he was trying more on countryside rather than continuing his urban city adventure.

Ken Kalbach- Photographer's Styles

First Photographer: Ansel Adams             Ansel Adams was born on February 20, 1902 and was a landscape photographer.  Adams is most known for his photographs of Yosemite National Park.  In 1939 and 1940, along with the help of Fred Archer, Adams created the Zone System.  The Zone System was a way to get the correct exposer in the camera as well as a way to develop of the sheet film.  This took the generic exposer metering to the next level by taking the tones of pure blacks to pure whites and separating them into ten zones.  Adams defined the most useful zones as zones one through nine when processing negatives. Adams stated that you can capture detail in zones as high as zone twelve and above however it was difficult to process for a print.  The Zone System was also a way to get the framing and look of the image to what the photographer wanted before they took the photograph. This included the ...
