Ansel Adams Bw - Photography Contest [34 entries]
Contest goal:
"Ansel Easton Adams was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West, especially in Yosemite National Park.
With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs and the work of those to whom he taught the system. Adams primarily used large-format cameras despite their size, weight, setup time, and film cost, because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.
Adams founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, which in turn created the Museum of Modern Art's department of photography. Adams's photographs are reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books, making his photographs widely distributed." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansel_Adams)
Let's Pay tribute to a legend. We are embarking on the anniversary of Adams' death, and how better to celebrate his life than by trying to imitate his style. Lets see your best black and white landscapes done in the style of Ansel Adams.
Required level: 15+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

xogx2002: Great suggestion! ( 5 years and 3175 days ago )
friiskiwi: Someone has a sense of humor, using a flower for the thumb. (Yes I do realise it is one of his), but it will encourage a lot of members to supply more flowers. ( 5 years and 3175 days ago )
rbsgrl: I thought that too friiskiwi, but then I re-read the theme and it says "landscapes done in the style of Ansel Adams". ( 5 years and 3175 days ago )
jadedink: thanks for the credit mods. :P
however..i'm excited to see how this turns out. ( 5 years and 3175 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Thanks to jadedink for the idea - sorry, forgot to add... ( 5 years and 3175 days ago )
k5683: I found this link helpful http://sergykalstudios.blogspot.com/2006/07/demystifying-ansel-adams-zone-system.html ( 5 years and 3174 days ago )
jeaniblog: This all sounds very complicated, doesn't a b&w HDR image do the same thing? ( 5 years and 3174 days ago )
friiskiwi: jeaniblog, to a large extent it does, I find the best way is to look at some of his images and get the feel for it. ( 5 years and 3172 days ago )
k5683: he had a system though and obviously it worked! Complicated or not, it was the system he used. I think HDR is a bit different than what Ansel Adams accomplished. ( 5 years and 3169 days ago )

lovely image, HDR?
Beautiful photo....really draws you into the scene!
Yes Vibeke, this is HDR..
Very lovely! Seems peaceful and serene.
Man, this is awesome, beautiful composition, and contrast, everything!
super stunning!
well done
this is very nice but you can tell it has been post processed in a digital program, which is not what Ansel Adams is really known for. IMO!
Ansels Zone System can be used in digital photography just as in film photography; Adams himself anticipated the digital image. As with color reversal film, the normal procedure is to expose for the highlights and process for the shadows. He also touched on dodge and burn. He did use multiple exposures.
true, but in digital, the results are so different. Seems everything I've looked at of Ansel Adams, there isn't that soft glow/blur and not the major ghosting like we have in digital HDR. Just like developing film is much different than printing a digital photo, different results.
By the way, I just want you, author, to know that this is a wonderful B&W and is VERY pretty even though I have gave my opinion on the HDR etc.
awesome photo
Thanks guys for all the votes & great comments!
Congrats on 1st......Well deserved.
congrats.
