OP sure got me..

but come on dude, nobody takes rules of compositions seriously, you didnt have to "debunk" it for us

Ansel Adams generally had terrible composition. Technical know-how, but not much artistry.

OP photo is a piece of shit.

im disappointed by some of his work.

>>3124562
>nobody takes rules of compositions seriously
So that's why none of us made it to the exhibition. Okay.

>>3124583
kay mate, so many of the most appreciated works of art in photography dont follow the rules of composition at all.

then there are those famous photographs which DO follow the rules of compositions

you cant make rules, photography be an art

>>3124588
Art has to have rules. Otherwise ppl would have a hard time understanding and enjoying your work. Of course, you do understand your own mess and you can tell the story behind those photos to other ppl and get them impressed by it, but still, a good work of art has to make ppl stay and actually feel what you want them to feel without you having to explain it to them. you're not supposed to just liberally take pics based on intuition, but you have to spend a lot of time thinking as to what it is that you actually want to show to ppl. That you actually want to put in the picture. Remember, abstract art is NOT art, modern art is NOT art.

>>3124590
well of course, art still has to be visually stimulating, or it does have to catch your eye, or tell you a story, or have a humorous vibe. But non of this cannot be achieved if you dont follow the rules of composition. Thats why its not really a rule. I doesnt work at all for so many cases.

>>3124582
If you saw this posted somewhere else and didn't know it was shot by Adams...you wouldn't even give it a second look. That's such a boring, shite picture.

>>3124595
exactly. yet its the second fuckin hit on google "ansel adams"

makes me cringe

>>3124600
It's truly DSLR dad-mode.

>>3124602
Look at this shit ma', I put the mountain BELOW the branches of the tree. Ain't that clever?

>>3124469

OK, here you go.
This is the "true" image before Ansel "I like little boys" Adams, fucked around with it.

>>3124469
all kidding aside, this isn't my favorite photo of his
it's kind of like Stephen King saying his best book was Pet Semetary

>>3124637

the only rules in photography is very simple : only include stuffs that catches your eye.

Who would have fucking thought?

>>3128129
I never said why I thought it was good (It is), your whole argument was that it's bad necause your dad would recognize it. keep projecting though

Lots of large format stuff looks good on the web. Shit, Burtynsky's work which demands to be viewed large, still looks good on the web.

Adams' stuff is just yawn-tier.
