Scott Mansfield
"A wandering nature artist. I do not seek adventure for the sake of thrill, I seek balance found in the way of nature. My primary medium is photography, and although it’s a perfect recording tool, I care little about showing you the simple ornamental beauty of a place or the reality of the scene. My aim is to show you something more, to convey a feeling and a sense of what it felt like to be there. I want to show you what I thought, not what I saw. " - Scott Mansfield

This picture came from Scott Mansfield's portfolio called Color Panoramic. Most his photographs are in black and white besides two albums. This photo stuck out to me because its night photography and usually you can never see the stars that are that bright. You can see the waterfall coming from one mountain, so therefore Scott Mansfield used a slower shutter speed to capture the waterfall. The foreground is the woods leading up to the middle ground which is mountains and background is the sky and stars. There are many leading lines because of the mountains. The sky is an ombre color from light blue to dark blue that shows that it will be getting darker soon. The colors of the woods and mountains compositionally go well with the sky because the rocks are not too dark or too light, they rest easy on the sky lighting. The photo was taken with a wide angle lens because the mountains go far back from the right and the left.
