Ansel Adams

Born february 20th, 1902 and died April 22nd 1984, Ansel Easton Adams was best known for his black and white images of the American West, he was a true environmentalist. With photographer Fred Archer Adams created the zone system. this was a system which would allow the photographer to determine proper exposure and to adjust the contrast of the final prints.
Adams will always be know for founding the F/64 group with fellow photographers Edward Weston, and Imogen Cunningham. Adams primarily used large format cameras despite the film cost, weight, and set up time, but he always wants to ensure his images remain sharp.
i do enjoyed his work, because its very natural, but the tones he achieves with a black and white image is remarkable.
