Ansel Adams - Master Photographers (1980) - Part 3 of 3

[topolino70]

I respected Ansel Adams already from his books and pictures. Seeing him at this video I respect and like him twice much! What a radiant person he is. So professional photographer and still he seem to be so meek.

@topolino70 I agree. He was very approachable and he always has time to help anyone. He had a great sense of humor too.

@swartzen1 Ansel had a great way with words, especially in his writings.  He was reallhy something for a man with little formal education.

@ZoneIII yes, I'm going to Ohio State for a BFA in Photography. We learned about him but hearing his words from his mouth and watching him working his magic has been a better experience than just reading about him in a text book. I have looked at these vids over and over. I'm taking large format and "zone" next spring. I have been trying to teach myself all the techniques of the zone system over the summer. I understand it but I need to practice it.

@swartzen1 Best of luck to you! If I can be of any help at all with the Zone System or related subjects, feel free to contact me.
