5:17 I think you got dodge and burn mixed up. When you dodge, it leaves the area brighter as you are stopping the light from hitting the paper. When you burn, it darkens the image as you allow more light to hit the paper. It's the opposite of a negative where more light = brighter image.

photos on film I was scratching my heard that, was I doing it all wrong for 30 years! Weston was another photographer, thats like saying Picasso was another painter. We shot B&W because thats all we had and every sheet of film was precious. All in all a nice effort.

In a previous career as a commercial printer one of the jobs I has was printing the posters and books of Ansel Adams through Little Brown and Company, the publisher. There was a special high tack dense black and a grey (Ansel Adams Grey) that we used as well as other specialized materials to get the cleanest dot on a printing press. We were also using the highest dpi in the industry at the time for detail. First time through the press was the duotone pass. Let it dry then run it through again for a high gloss varnish. Let that dry. Then turn the sheet upside down and run it through the press one more time to "polish" the sheet - essential removing all of the spray powder used to keep the sheets from sticking together. Best job ever, but that was back in the late 80's. I found a picture of Ansel and Dave Gardner (Gardner Lithograph) on a press check in a drawer in the pressroom. Still got that today.

As a film photographer (i know, I sound like an elitist douchebag) it just annoys me so much. I get that its for the aesthetic, but wouldnt a basic white borders look just as good? Maybe more minimalistic I guess. Other than that I thought this video was super interesting and i learned alot, so it doesnt really matter

My dad was a well-known commercial photographer for over 70 years and used view cameras (the ones with the bellows) almost exclusively. His largest was a monster 16x20 Deardorf with a 5" lens, used mostly for taking really high resolution photos and transparencies of very small objects, like diamonds and jewelry. It stood about 9' tall. He used all the tricks and techniques also used by Adams (and all commercial photographers of that era) and I used to watch him work in the darkroom all the time. To a small boy it all looked like magic. I'm glad to see you taking an interest in the old masters, like Adams. My dad met him once in the 1950s, but never talked much about the encounter.

Loved it man.The trend photography and videography sometimes forget the rich concepts and masters of our arts, and going back to them always makes us "level up the game" (hate that expression, maybe "developing more our arts"?) and love it more. The majority of landscape photographers pratically have a base on the form of Adams and romantic painting like David Friedrich and his "Wanderer above the sea of fog", so they do, or try to do, take less photos, they observe and apreciate more before taking a photo, it's kind of a philosophy on how to apreciate, observe and truly see nature and express how our eyes, heart and mind had a emotional connection with the scene. A slow rythim and living a full experience and love for our home (Earth), our nature. In this liquid world, where everything is so fast, everything is always quickly changing, a slow pace maybe can be all we need to live well and be at peace, that's one of the lessons I get with Adams and other landscape photographers, but hey, I have always been a nature's lover and surfer since kid hahahah.

Thanks for making this video, Aidin. It is an entertaining and concise overview of Adams’ work and process. I discovered his images in 1979 on my first visit to Yosemite and have based my own professional photographic process on his teachings ever since. By chance, I was fortunate to visit his darkroom in Carmel - unfortunately, he wasn’t there at the time but it was an experience nevertheless. It’s great that you have shared this video with your younger audience. His books, ‘The Camera’, ‘The Negative’ and ‘The Print’ are still relevant today. In fact, I believe that Ansel Adams would have been a brilliant digital photographer and shown us how to get the most from a pixel ‘negative’.

Adams began using lighter cameras, the older he got. He used a Hasselblad and tested the early Hassie models for Victor Hasselblad. In the last year of his life he used a Leica, though not exclusively. His biography is great reading, and the PBS American Masters program on Adams is excellent. It’s very instructive to go see his work in an art museum and look at it firsthand.

Correction to time stamp 5:16 - 5:28: DODGE and BURN in printing a negative causes the opposite effect from exposing. Dodging reduces light on specific areas of the paper (though all those paper shapes at the end of a wire) so the paper will be bright / whiter. Burning (with the holes in stiff paper or cardboard) increases light at specific areas and causes darkening of the printed paper. Did this all this in my younger days, pain in the ars to get just right, using up loads of paper to get the final print just right. Also, IMHO, it is a lot easier to compose (visually) a photo with a larger camera under a drape than with a small one. It is so hard for me to see all the elements in a scene when one eye is glued to a view finder with light filling in the space on the sides or on the 3" back screen in the daylight. But at least I won't come hope with a backache after lugging tons of camera gear and tripod when using a smaller (FF or APS-C) camera.

I really enjoyed your video and found a great deal of admiration for the amount of effort you put into it. You grasped and presented the concept of his work at a higher than average level. You didn't just skimm the surface, you really went pretty deep! I studied the Zone System a few years ago and was taught that Ansel Adams developed his system to a degree that was very scientific. He used spot meters to read a subject scene and took many notes that he would later use in the lab. He purchased large lots of film and paper because he knew that when doing so the materials had been made with the same batches of chemicals. He made sure his materials came from the same batches. When manufacturers produced film or paper they eventually had to use new chemicals because they were spent... but even though they used the same formulas with the same measured ingredients, the final product varied in sensitivity always giving different results in the lab. So when he set up his cameras and evaluated a scene, he took his readings and already knew what the print would look like in his mind! He really had a true visualization of the scene. Using his Zone System he would know at the time of making the exposure that he would either have to contract or expand the zones in the image (according to whether he got high contrast or low contrast readings). He used the information from the readings and used it to process the film, as well as when developing the paper. He used Spectrometers to learn about the density of the batches of film he had to ensure that he would accurately get the desired results... every single time!!! When printing his images he often wouldn't just use the tools you mentioned... he would use his hands and fingers to dodge or burn parts of his prints. He would twist and gnarl his fingers to apply what he wanted to them. I don't know if it would be worth it for you to do a little more investigation into the process of using the Zone System and maybe making a video about it? Thanks for bringing back some good memories and sharing some very awesome knowledge

Good video! A small point though. Adams is always credited with the creation of the zone system. A photographer called Fred Archer contributed a lot to it as well. Ansel Adams went out of his way to give Archer equal credit for the Zone System, he said. "I take this opportunity to restate that the Zone System is not an invention of mine; it is a codification of the principles of sensitometry, worked out by Fred Archer and myself at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, around 1939-40".

True, but the Zone System is glossed over here, and it's important to know how vital it was to Adams' getting the results on the negative that he desired. Also, Adams used filters to accentuate contrast.

@@JohnProthero I firmly believe in credit were credit is due, lots of people gloss over Fred's contribution. You say that Adams used filters. I'm 63, I started taking photographs when I was 16. Back then film was the only option, B&W was much cheaper than colour and was relatively easy to process at home. Back then all B&W photographers use filters to control contrast, it was one of the tools in your toolbox. Scanning the negatives then using Lightroom wasn't an option!

Glad that you came across him and researched Ansel about the art of photography in the earlier years. He had inspired me in my early days of photography during the 70’s and enjoyed many of his books including, “The Negative” and “The Print”. He could only carry so many film holders with him on his trips (2 pieces of film per holder), so every image had to be composed, focussed and exposed correctly. Was lucky to see a show of his work in Toronto including his famous “Moonlight Hernandez” image which was simply stunning to see in person. He was a true master photographer and conservationist. Ansel was also a concert pianist and busted his nose during the devasting 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Great video!

Well done! You made the essentials understandable and presented them in an entertaining, clear and friendly way. And you've sparked interest in finding out more about Ansel Adams and discovering your own ways of taking better pictures. Maybe some of the commentators are right and there are really a few mistakes in your video ... and if so ... who cares? (I did not) Ansel Adams and his art of photography were the focus of the video and not the presenter (like almost everywhere else on KZbin). Such a short video presentation can only be a "teaser" to do your own research after watching it. And your video served this purpose very well. This comment comes from someone who, decades ago, developed even more interest in analog (there was no "digital"!) slide photography (no post-processing possible!) because his jaws fell on his chest when looking at Ansel Adams' photos in a large-format illustrated book ... ("book", that is something big and flat for reading and looking at, made of printed paper; it works without batteries ...) For me Ansel Adams' pictures didn't lead to "f64", but to "ISO64" ... I just say "Kodachrome" or "Fujichrome" ... those were magic words back then ... A very slightly underexposed landscape shot in the bluish light of the Scandinavian sun, back then on Kodachrome 64 with my beloved Olympus OM2 ... the slide projected onto a white wall as big as it gets - that just knocks you out! Without having seen Ansel Adams' work, I would never have taken such photos!

By far one of the most technically developed photographers imo he understood exposure extremely well and that photo of the full moon overlooking the village in new mexico(I think) he took that without a light meter bc he forgot his. He talks about it in his three books that he published. He calculated the exposure by estimating the luminance of the moon and the cloud coverage and all these other variables.

Film used in camera is "negative" with means that source of light wil darken it. This dark area from film will allow less light to hit the paper so this area will be lighter In final photo. Using this little circle on a stick you showed will make photo even brighter becouse you block light that hits it (paper is white). Big cartboard with hole in it will darken the image in the spot you allow the light to hit the paper, so it is exacly oposite of what you said.

This is a good, short summary, I think; a whirlwind tour in ten minutes. From my perspective the highlights of his technique were, 1) everything is in focus, 2) the resulting image looks sharp (high resolution). 1 and 2 go together, and were tenets of the f64 Group (not just Adams); the overall effect is similar to what the eye and brain accomplish when you're looking at something, like a landscape. 1 and 2 are also contradictory; that, is if you increase depth of field (by making the aperture smaller) you also make the resolution worse -- so you have to use large format to compensate: more resolution owing to larger negative size, along with tilt of the lens plane. 3) range of tone control. As he often observed, the tonal range of a scene can vary wildly, whereas the tonal range of the negative is fixed. So you have to control the exposure and development of the negative so that you get a meaningful rendering of the tonal range in the negative (and print) -- the Zone System. What ends up happening is that the proportion of Zone I, and of Zone IX -- in terms of the area of the whole print -- is low. And you don't have large areas of either black or white that lack detail. That's hard to do, and Adams was probably the best at it. Other features worth mentioning are 4) dark skies, 5) extreme horizon placement (either v. high or v. low) 6) lots of dark areas (Zones I, II, and III). 7) A general sense that the subject is sitting for a portrait (even if it's a rock or a tree and not a person).
