Kevin Adams

Adams is an American lanscape and nature photographer. He got his first camera mid 80's and he states it 'changed his life'. It was a standard slr with standard lens and 'useless' accessories. After just a few sessions of the photography course he signed up for he decided that the only way he was going to learn is by going out and doing it. In the early 90's Adams started teaching seminars, workshops and taking people of photography tours. From 1994 he has consistantly been publishing wildlife and landscape books.


To take this image Adams had to expose it for 1122 second with f/22 and his ISO was 200. This is because he was watching two hikers with head torches walking up the hill. I first look at the line that is closest to the camera and then I follow it across the image till it disappears, sometimes getting distracted by a tree that separates the line. I think that this is very clever because I would never of thought to use a landscape and people walking to create a light drawing. This really influences me because I could do this  on a street with people who pass by to turn the screen of their phone on and point it at the camera as they walk by.
