Ansel Adams was one of the masters of landscape photography. Born in San Francisco in 1902, he is famous for his black & white photographs of the western United States and national parks, most especially Yosemite. Adams was a co-founder of Group f/64, who pioneered the use of a camera's smallest aperture to capture a scene with maximum sharpness and depth of field — a technique known as 'Realism' or straight photography.
