He was born Ansel Easton Adams. In the sunny city of San Francisco, California on Febuary 20th, 1902. He lived a long life, but it was ended on April 22nd, 1984 in Monterery, California due to a Heart Attack. He was only 82 years old. He will be remembered for his famous artwork all done through photography. All he needed was a camera and he was set. He mainly took photographs of landscape and turned it black and white. A landscape is a photo that depicts scenery such as Mountains, Valleys, and Trees. He also belonged to the f/64 group named for the very small aperture setting which allowed for the sharp detail and extreme depth of field present in his photographs. An interesting thing about him is that, along with Fred Archer, he developed the Zone System. Which is a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print.
