Although my images were no where near as successful as Alfred Stieglitz's, I think I did pretty well. Stieglitz's images are much higher contrast and have more range in the tones. I could have achieved this by using an orange, or possibly red filter but I was sadly unable to get hold of one.
Alfred Stieglitz
This series of images was named "Equivalents" and ranged from 1925 - 1934. Stieglitz is highly reguarded to be one of the first photographers to escape from images always having a direct meaning and the images are very abstract for the time period. The series contained about 220 images and it is rare for any of these to feature common aspects of cloudscapes such as horizons and trees although towards the end of the series he did do a set involvng trees.
