This is one of many amazing pictures of the famous photographer, Ansel Adams. I chose this picture because i really like how the movement of the water makes the mountains in the distance look so majestic and calm yet powerful and very beautiful. This picture almost makes you want to gaze into the distance. Ansel Adams was home-schooled until the age of nine because he didn't want formal education. He received any other form of education through his father, tutors, and the Panama Pacific Exhibition. Besides being a photographer, Adams was also a conservationist. His famous photo, "Monolith, The Face of Half Dome" was first taken April 17, 1927. He developed the famous and highly complex "zone system" of controlling and relating exposure and development. Ansel Adams died April 22, 1984 at the age of 82 by a heart failure that was caused by cancer. He will be remembered as the greatest photographer.
