Marion Lake, Southern Sierra (Ansel Adams, 1927)

Half Dome from Glacier Point (Ansel Adams, 1947)

Monolith the Face of Half Dome (Ansel Adams, 1927). In the left photo, Adam’s use of a red filter blocked a significant part of the light spectrum, which in turn increased the contrast

An example of a photo taken when Adams joined “Group f/64“

Ansel’s wedding, when he married 19 year-old Virgina Best

Ansel and Virgina later co-owned Best’s Studio, relabeling it, “The Ansel Adams Gallery“
