Landscape Definition

Landscapes show all the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal. When taking images of landscapes the recommended f stop is 20/22 because it gives a greater depth of field so we can see deep into the image.



Ansel Adams represents landscapes well as he has an interest in nature and takes photos mainly of landscapes.  

Ansel Adams is part of Group f/64. Group f/64 was a group of seven 20th-century San Francisco photographers who shared a common photographic style characterized by sharp-focused and carefully framed images seen through a particularly Western (U.S.) viewpoint. In part, they formed in opposition to the pictorialist photographic style that had dominated much of the early 20th century, but moreover they wanted to promote a new modernist aesthetic that was based on precisely exposed images of natural forms and found objects.

Ansel Adams uses pictorialism. Pictorialisman approach to photography that emphasizes beauty of subject matter, tonality, and composition rather than the documentation of reality.

The Zone System is a technique that was formulated by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer back in the 1930's. It is an approach to a standardized way of working that guarantees a correct exposure in every situation, even in the trickiest lighting conditions such as back lighting, extreme difference between light and shadow areas of a scene, and many similar conditions that are most likely going to throw off your camera's metering giving you a completely incorrect exposure. 


Previsualization is a function to visualize complex scenes in a movie before filming. It is also a concept in still photography. Previsualization is applied to techniques such as storyboarding, either in the form of charcoal drawn
sketches or in digital technology in the planning and conceptualization of movie scenery make up.
