Oak Tree, Snowstorm by Ansel Adams Ansel Adams made this image in 1948 using an 8 x 10 view camera. This towering oak at the western fringe of El Capitan Meadow was among his favorite subjects. Since Adams first photographed the tree, age has taken its toll and it succumbed to fire in recent years. However, the towering cliffs between Bridal Veil Fall and Cathedral Spires that lurk in the mists behind the oak in this photograph remain as solid as ever. The Sierra Club published Oak Tree, Snowstorm in 1948, along with 11 other photographs by Ansel Adams, in Portfolio I. Later, Adams selected it for his Museum Set Collection, a retrospective portfolio of what he considered his strongest work, and it appeared in Classic Images, the book based on the Museum Set. The image is one of Adams icons, and has also been published in Ansel Adams Monograph (out of print), the Portfolios of Ansel Adams, Yosemite and the High Sierra, and Yosemite. shop.anseladams/Oak_Tree_Snowstorm_p/5010121-u.htm
