Beautiful Autumn Woods

There's nothing more serene than a woodland path along a quiet stream. The peacefulness is unforgettable, This photo brings me back to this place every time I look at it.

The image was made with a 4x5 field camera, the kind used by Ansel Adams in the early- to mid-20th century. It quickly became a best seller for me. In Photo 1: An Introduction to the Art of Photography, I teach readers about the value of large format cameras and why they are so useful.
