When I see pictures like the one above I realize just how much of an art form photography can truly be. It takes a certain eye to capture the true feel of the subject of a picture. From the lighting and shadows to the correct angle and focal point it takes a true artist to capture such a setting in it's glorious splendor. Photography has never really been my forte. Using words like forte is more my forte. The artist who took the image above, well not that's a different story entirely.
The earliest surviving photograph was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827 (cite: Wikipedia - History of Photography) and was more a product of invention than a work of art.

In this current day and age practically everyone carries around a camera in their pocket in the form of a wireless phone and imagery quality is measured in MEGApixels. Photography is now more popular than at any other time in history but it still takes a true artist who can capture a moment in time that makes anyone viewing it realize that they are looking at a piece of art rather than just a picture.
just so happensto be one these artists and is credited with the first image above. His imagery is absolutely stunning and should be appreciated.
