Ansel Adams achieved worldwide fame for his black and white landscape photography, particularly of the American West. One of his many legendary shots, ‘Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite National Park’ captures a dramatic moment of beauty in an environment that Adams knew intimately. For this challenge, we want submissions inspired by this iconic photo – your entry should be reminiscent of Ansel’s original, whether you choose to replicate the image exactly or put your own spin on the idea using different techniques and/or locations...
