Mountain View

Weisspriachtal | Austria | 2017

Ansel Adams is for monochrome landscape photographers the same as Henri Cartier-Bresson is for black and white street shooters. For me, both legends are inspirational masters of their craft. While Ansel Adams captured the beauty of American National Parks in all their monochrome glory, similar places in Europe are much harder to find. But when doing a winter hike in the Weisspriachtal (in Austria’s Lungau region) along the banks of the Lonka river, I felt very much reminded of Ansel’s photographs. Capured with an Olympus PEN-F, image specs 1/400 sec @ f/10, ISO200 and 28mm focal length.

Light and Shadow in the Mountains

Black And White Photography, David Jensen, Photography

Since leaving northern Minnesota in our RV and heading west, I’ve been treated to diverse and wonderful scenery. After stops in South Dakota and Wyoming, I’m currently doing an extended stay in Idaho in the Wood River Valley. For those not familiar with the area, it includes the towns of Bellvue, Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley. We had a lovely camp site along Baker Creek, now we’re staying in a driveway west of Hailey and this weekend we move to another driveway before heading to Redfish Lake near Stanley. The upside to all this travel is photo opportunities galore.

I think I’m trying to channel my inner Ansel Adams with this one.

Fujifilm GFX 100s, Fuji 100-200. More of my photography can be found on my website and my blog.

Look through the windows into this sagging old abandoned house and imagine the lives once lived here and why this home was ultimately abandoned. For the best view into this home, click to see a high resolution version.
