His type of photography was mostly opposite of the normal pictorialist fashioned photos at the time. Edward Weston died on January 1, 1958 but completed a legacy of beautiful pictures and masterpieces. He was one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century.

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was born on February 20, 1902 and was mostly famous for his black and white pictures portraying the American west. He developed a very effective system called the zone system and it determined the contrast and sharpness of the final image. He and other photographers founded a group called f/64 and created the museum of modern art's department of photography. The group they formed espoused pure of straight photography and gives great depth of field. Adams was awarded the Presidental medal of Freedom which is nation's highest civilian honor. His photo The Tetons and the Snake River was recorded on the Voyager Golden Record aboard the spacecraft itself along with 115 others. Ansel Adams led a wonderful life full of beautiful photography but sadly died on April 22, 1984 of heart failure. His photography shaped the world's view of western photography and landscape photos and he will never be forgotten for that.

1. The 3 basic elements to a camera are the optical element (the lens), the chemical element (the film) and the mechanical element (the camera body itself).
2. The SLR camera is a Single-Lens-Reflex camera, it is where the photographer can see exactly the same image that is exposed to the film and can adjust everything by turning dials and clicking buttons.
3.The purpose of the aperture is to allow the increase and decrease in the amount of light passing through the lens.
4. The shutter speed on a camera controls the length of exposure.
5.To get the right exposure for a picture, you have to balance film speed, aperture size and shutter speed.
6.To take pictures outside on a very sunny day, you would use low film speed because it needs a large amount of available light to take a clear photo. Low-numbered film speed is less sensitive to light and needs more time to absorb enough light to make an image that isn’t underexposed or too dark.
7.The four steps for developing black and white film are: 1.Placing the film in a developing agent(which is actually a reducing agent). 2.Then place the film in the stop bath. 3.Next you place the film in the fixer. 4.Last you rinse the film with water, dry and cut into negatives.
8.You need drying cabinets,tongs, stop bath, developers, print paper, fixer, developer trays, and washes to make the black and white print.
9.The final image is actually developed silver.
