Photography Techniques
Ansel Adams what style of photography did he use, equipment used, special techniques ?
could anyone help me with this? any good recommended websites?. i would gladly appreciate any help. thank you.
Ansel Adams was an early proponent of “Straight Photography” as championed by Paul Strand. This meant that instead of soft focus or hand treatments, the photographs were clear, sharply focused, and an attempt to show what the artist saw at the actual scene. To do this, Adams used the typical photographic equipment of his day: view cameras with large-format negatives at 4×5 inches, 5×7 inches, 8×10 inches or even 11×14 images. Even though photographic equipment evolved to be smaller, lighter and easier to use with the 35mm cameras beginning in the late 1930s, Adams stayed mostly with large-format view cameras throughout his life.
One reason for this is that with view cameras, the relationship between the plane of the lens and the plane of the film can be adjusted, giving the photographer some control over near- and far-ground focus. Also, composition is somewhat easier since the ground glass is large. And of course one huge advantage of the larger formats is super detail with very little grain – very important considering the film emulsions of the day.
Adams was part of a group called “F64″ including Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, where they believed in everything in the image being in focus. They acheived this by using small apertures (thus the name) thus providing a lot of depth of field in focus.
Additionally, Adams began experimenting with filters in the 1920s to render different parts of the scene more closely to how he visualized them. For instance, he pioneered the use of a red filter to darken blue skies in his photos, giving contrast between the sky and the clouds, for instance. Along with this, he adopted the technique for exposure, development, and printing known as the “Zone System” which is a way of carefully controlling tonal values to achieve the widest range of light and dark in his prints, despite the very limited range available in printing paper. Although he did not invent this system, he has been associated with it for many decades, and he has written books on the subject (his three-part set on photography) that have become the bible for many generations of photographers.
Finally, he was very patient and deliberate in his selection of subjects and the timing with which he used to take the pictures. I have heard it said that “he did not photograph landscapes as much as he photographed the weather.” (paraphrased). His “C learning Storm, Yosemite Valley” photo, for instance, would not be nearly as dramatic without the clearing fog with the snow on the ground.
I hope this helps!
