Paying more attention to light is perhaps the single most important step you can take to improve your photography.

The use of light in a photograph can be the deciding factor of whether that picture will be spectacular or terrible.

“You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ― Ansel Adams

“TO <strong>THE</strong> COMPLAINT,<br />

'<strong>THE</strong>RE ARE NO PEOPLE IN <strong>THE</strong>SE PHOTOGRAPHS,'<br />

I RESPOND,<br />

<strong>THE</strong>RE ARE ALWAYS TWO PEOPLE:<br />

<strong>THE</strong> PHOTOGRAPHER AND <strong>THE</strong> VIEWER.”<br />

― Ansel Adams.<br />

“The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ”


‘<strong>GONGONI</strong>’<br />

“I want pictures like these. The kind that can capture a moment, make it real, make it last.<br />

I need pictures that do more than reflect. I need pictures that are truth.”


<strong>THE</strong> UNDULATING ROCK FORMATION AT ‘<strong>GONGONI</strong>’<br />

“The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.”


‘<strong>GONGONI</strong>’<br />

“God creates the beauty. Through my camera, I am a witness.”


‘<strong>GONGONI</strong>’<br />

“Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment. ”<br />

― Ansel Adams


‘<strong>GONGONI</strong>’<br />

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.<br />

When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”<br />

― Ansel Adams


<strong>THE</strong> CAMERA ALWAYS POINTS BOTH WAY<br />

IN EXPRESSING <strong>THE</strong> SUBJECT, YOU ALSO EXPRESS<br />

YOURSELF.<br />

<strong>THE</strong> UNDULATING ROCK FORMATION AT ‘<strong>GONGONI</strong>’<br />

“Sometimes I arrive just when God's ready to have somone click the shutter.”<br />

― Ansel Adams


‘<strong>GONGONI</strong>’<br />

“The camera makes you forget you're there.<br />

It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.”


Light is probably the most important thing to think about when trying to take a great photograph.<br />

When taking pictures, it is critical at times to be in the right place at the right time to get the perfect light.
