What photography techniques did Ansel Adams use?

December 21st, 2011 by admin

Any techniques he used to do his photography.. please say.

Ansel has become world famous for his way of thinking of the correct exposure for a landscape shot (even though he worked with Fred Archer it’s Ansel that got the fame). It’s known as the zone system.

    The Zone system principally. If you can, get hold of and read a copy of The Negative by him (one of a trilogy of books – the other two are The Camera and The Print) – great book. It emphasises the importance of visualising the desired end result at the time of exposure. This is so important, whether you shoot film or digitally. You can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear. You have to start with the best exposure you can possibly achieve.

    He shot most of his pictures underexposed. He corrected,along with two assistants, the pictures in the darkroom.

    Not to be rude, but try a simple search on " Ansel Adams" and you will probably find a million hits. Just click the Wikipedia link or the family’s site and you will get the easy answer to your question.
