Ansel Adams

 

Ansel Adams is an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black and white photographs. His photos were taken by film cameras, instead my photos will be taken on my SLR camera but I will try using a high ISO such as 3200, 6400 to give it the grain affect in daylight. Later on I will look into developing this shoot with a film camera maybe or try editing the photos in the dark room to give it a nice black and white/grey affect.


This photo really inspired me for my theme of loneliness as it is really a basic picture but tells a lot by the black and white theme as it looks quite bleak and miserable. It looks like a high aperture has been used such as F10 as the top of the photo looks darker and more black parts where as the bottom of the photo looks like the apperture was about F4. But this photo was taken by film so apperture couldn't have been used but when I re-create my shoot I can look into this. This picture also reminded me of the film The Sound of Music.
