"Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment." -Ansel Adams
In my opinion landscape photography is hard. You would think it is easy, nothing moves, and all you need to do is set up your camera. It is so much more than that however, the search to capture something as interesting as a human personality becomes much more challenging. Landscape gets boring after a while, for me at least. There is something about pictures of people and action that keeps my interest. Landscape photographs can be pretty awesome, but you gotta search for those things that not everyone sees everyday, or spice it up with a weird angle. On a personal level I was never all that impressed with Ansel Adams photographs. So I find it interesting that he said this quote, maybe he was disappointed with himself at times as well.
