What did ansel adams convey through his pictures?
Q. How did his photographs influence people to see things differently?

A. Have you ever looked at one? Google one of his high quality images and let it sit on your monitor for a while. Try to look at it with the mindset that you're an easterner whose never been west. Never seen anything but what the newspapers and dime novels portray. And then one day you come across this image that you've got on your monitor. How does it make you feel? People can try to tell you what you should be seeing, but that's the beauty of photography. Everyone has been conditioned to recognize or empathize something different in every photograph.

Are there any images on line of Ansel Adams pictures straight from a negative?
Q. I would like to see them with no darkroom manipulation, but as straight prints.
Asked by Perki88 - Tue Dec 22 22:07:18 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. His book the "Print" has some good examples. Most of his negatives were made long before scanners were widely available. I doubt that you can find a straight image from the original negative. Online you can compare Moonrise prints. This link shows the different ways that Mr. Adams interpreted the negative. *** In this link you can see a sorta bland Moonrise: This one exhibits a blacker sky and great luminance in the foreground:

where can I find what people said about famous photographer Ansel Adams?
Q. I searched Google but I don't think I'm getting the correct key words therefore I am not getting any results. Any help would be appreciated.
Asked by s14.240 - Wed Feb 11 03:19:48 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Because Ansel Adams is so universally admired, it may be difficult to find sites devoted entirely to comments about him and his work. If you read the prefatory material at sites where his work is being displayed, you will find comments. Additionally, I have noted below a few essays and sites that I believe you will find useful. "Masters of Photography - Ansel Adams," by Gus Leous "Ansel Adams, America's Saint George of Conservation," by Peter Barr "Ansel Adams" (Text from "American Photography: A Critical History") "Ansel Adams at 100," by Kenneth Brower (from "The Atlantic" magazine, July/August 2002) Other research links: Good luck!

Q. Which digital camera would Ansel Adams be shooting with today?
Asked by Theo - Tue Jan 6 15:49:11 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It would be a digital scanning back on his large format camera. The majority of Ansel's work was with 8x10 and 4x5 large format photography. He has done some work with medium format film and played with small format, but almost everything he sold was large format. Those cameras provide a lot more control over the geometry of the picture before you click the shutter release. You can ensure all the lines are parallel that need to be parallel. Ansel did play with slide film before he died. It only stands to reason that he would experiment with digital as well. Since you can fit a digital back on an existing large format film camera, it is likely the path he would have chosen.

A. Stieglitz died before color photography, and Adams did a little with it later in life. * Explore the techniques they used and the subject matter * Impact on photography (Stieglitz was a predecessor to Adams, but they knew each other) * Technology they used (Stieglitz pioneered what would later become the enlarger) There's a lot to look at, I'd start with just doing a little honest research beyond searching Wikipedia.

Ansel Adams question about his camera?
Q. Were Adams s pictures more dependent on Aperture or shutter speed? Why?
Asked by Horse Listener - Sat Sep 15 15:53:13 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Ansel Adams images were very dependent on large depth of field (small aperture). He used a tripod and very often long exposures to gather enough light to shoot with small apertures. It is also important to note that Adams was very picky about developing and printing his film. He believed that a huge portion of the quality of his photographs depended on how they were printed in the darkroom. This darkroom work had more to do with the light quality of his images than just the shutter speed/exposure time. That is why I say the aperture was more important. You can't fix focus in the darkroom. ~Liz

A. His color work was mostly commercial, experimental or documentary. Rarely artistic. Mr. Adams used medium and miniature formats for his color work. His B&W was large format so he could control the development of the individual negative and also the printing in his darkroom much better. The detail, tonality and luminance in his B&W work is far superior to anything he could do in color.

A. I would guess that the fact that color images are not archival and that 8x10 colour film plates were and are expensive and need many more chemicals to process them would be a couple of factors. Ansel Adams and Edward Weston (also two of the founders of Group f/64) were friends and when then started photographing their world, color film did not exist. Their 8x10 enlargers were the results of their own invention. Later they included the 4x5 format in their arsenal of cameras (Adams even owned a 6x6 and used it more as a novelty in his later years).
