ConclusionConclusion My art and Adams’ art relate because they

are both black and white, portray nature and show a range of dark black to bright white.

I learned the importance of nature and the ways that it can be shot in a photograph.

The most challenging thing to do was to stage the photograph in my head of how it will look black and white.

Principal strength was that I captured the beauty of nature

Principal weakness was that I could’ve caught more diagnols and used the “rule of three.”
