Ansel Adams Series 4

In this series, I feel like I have pretty much solidified my technique. It starts with a picture of a tree (or multiple trees) and I edit the sky in a separate layer than the trees or foreground. Sometimes I'll even take out a telephone poll or power lines.

Ansel Adams(ish) - Series 3

I mainly focused on making the leaves dark and the sky bright with photoshop. I cut the background out and edit it on its own, while editing the foreground and subjects by themselves, and merge it back into one picture.

Ansel Adams Series Draft 2

For this series, I focused a lot on high and low exposures, before and after editing. This draft was made when I didn't have a clear idea of what I was doing, and I changed it in the middle of the week, hence the three photos.
