In this photograph “Oak Tree, Sunset City” by Ansel Adams it
shows a large tree in the foreground with misty atmosphere and the sun setting
in the background. The tree has numerous large branches extending out with soft
looking leaves silhouetted with the tree from the sun. The black and white
colouring brings out the texture, shape and atmosphere of the image, giving it
an almost ‘ghostly’ effect and darker feel to it. It creates a peaceful mood
with the simplicity of the single tree and dream-like mist and sun. The image
as a whole almost acts like an opposite to a bright colourful tree and sunlight
with its darkness and mist covering everything in the background. This makes us
focus on the tree itself rather than the bright colours and happy moods it may
have created, or could suggest a darker side and realistic side to it.
