The above 3 photos were my attempt at emulating Ansel Adam's style in his photo of Mount Williamson. Without an abundance of rocks in the area, I opted for acorns instead. The first out of the 3 is when I tried to actually take it from a similar vantage point, with the camera at the same height as the acorns. However, all the photos I took from this position had the same problem in that most of the acorns were hidden by the blades of grass. Only a small fraction of them were visible. My aim with this photo was to represent the acorns as a smaller part of the tree, similarly to how the rocks are part of a mountain, so instead, I decided to go with a different vantage point in the second photo. The vantage point from above also symbolizes how the acorns fell from the trees. Moreover, in Adam's photo, he had rays of light focused in the center but I decided to focus on the shadows in the center instead. The last shot was to show how the distribution of acorns on the ground looks evenly spread out from afar, but as you analyze smaller components of the ground, it is not quite so anymore. Some piles are clearly larger than others, and there are also more empty spots.
