Everyone talks about how great the cameras and lense are today but there was this one guy named Ansil Adams who is an absolute master photographer. His prints were in black and white where he worked hours and hours in the dark room to get the effect he envisioned. He is the granddaddy of photography bar none.

The camera was crude, it had no metering system, in fact Ansil Adams was the inventer of the "zone system" of light metering.

Study his work carefully to appreciate his work and style that went into his photographs.
