found the magazine Aperture. Adams didn’t just take
photos in black and white he experimented with color too.
Ansel Adams died in 1984 of cardiovascular disease.
Ansel Adams left a very big impact in the
photography world. Adams helped develop The Zone
System. A way to determine the proper exposure and
adjust the contrast of the final print. I chose him because I
knew he took photos outside and of nature. I like taking
pictures outside. I’m more into nature pictures then
anything else.
