Photographers reveal the five world-renowed:
  1. Grand Canyon, David Muench
    Most supresing and stunning landscape. The landscape is large and vast and sometimes it could be hard to imcosporate everything in one single shot, a 4x5 Linhof IV large-format camera will help you.
  2. Yosemite, William Neill
    One of the best part about the Yosemite part is to have the possibility to see the seasons change. In order to succed you need a strong composition with a great light and the shot!If you can stay away from usual locations and you're picture will be just amazing and different.

  4. Yellowstone, Michael H. Francis
    It's hard to come up with just one favorite photographic subject about this park but its wildlife one of the best part. Its wildlife is basically composed by lots of animals not common ones like bears and that's why everything is so fascinating.
  5. Acadia, Jerry Monkman
    The best part of this park is its unique combination of rugged coastal headlands, pink-granite mountains and boreal forests. Photographs recommend to get up early and just admire the sunrise or the sunset at the end of the day.

Ansel Adams - Black and white picture

I like this picture because fisrt of all i'm a big fun of the technique called "Silhouette", i think it's really hard to end up with a good shot when the sun is reflecting in the picture. I also like the composition: how this church tower is in the middle of the picture and flowers and branches are all around it and also how the clouds fit the picture perfectly. It was a good decision to take this picture in black and white because of all the different colors and the light.
