"A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy"

- Galen Rowell

About this Quote

This quote by Galen Rowell suggests that many people think that taking pictures of grand landscapes, such as that discovered in Yosemite, is a basic task. However, Rowell implies that this is not the case. Taking pictures of grand surroundings needs skill, knowledge, and experience. It is not as simple as it might seem. Professional photographers need to know the light, the composition, and the topic in order to capture the appeal of the scenery. In addition, they must be able to record the feeling of the scene in order to develop an effective image. Rowell's quote works as a suggestion that photography is an art type and that it requires skill and devotion in order to develop gorgeous images.
