By framing Mount Moran horizontally, I stress the flow of the mountain range, and the flaming red trees at its base, as well as the reflection of its glacier in the Snake River below. It is scene of fall splendor. A moment later, I photographed the same scene in a vertical frame ( http://www.pbase.com/image/104715497 ), gathering many more clouds into the frame and making the mountain smaller in the process. These images express their ideas in differing ways – the vertical shot draws the eye from river to sky, while this horizontal shot sweeps across the mountain range, with the trees and reflection at its base. Both images express grandeur, and present a natural scene in a larger than life context
