Wandering in confinement 15

April 24, 2021 by Alain Le Kim

After the sunset in Hong Kong, I thought of the end of the day in Grenada, Spain. The only thing that I wanted to get was the red sun on the snowed Sierra Nevada in the background. The illuminated Alhambra just below added a touch of mystery and the white building on the bottom left helped making the dark mass of the trees less heavy. Once again I shot hand held thanks to the modern technology of the camera. I thought of Ansel Adams who would have used a large 8 x 10 inches camera on a heavy tripod for a black and white picture exposed to perfection thanks to the zone system he invented. I learned a lot from the wonderful technical books Ansel Adams wrote, but I realize that now, all this sophisticated practice is no more necessary. Yet having it integrated in my mind certainly helps to take fast decisions.
