Travel to a series of stunning locations where Ansel Adams composed some of his most famous photographs. Each stop in the Footsteps of Ansel Adams offers you the opportunity to see the very same scene through your own camera lens, as you are guided in-depth by an expert staff photographer to best capture the iconic vistas.
Photographer Ansel Adams immortalized Yosemite National Park through his classic black & white images. His images pushed the popularity of landscape photography while helping to motivate the American environmental movement. Through the course of the class, you will visit a number of locations from where Ansel composed some of his most famous images. At each location, you will have the opportunity to see the same image through your lens and work more in-depth with the scene around you. You will receive insight into Ansel's life, photography and philosophies as well as basic lessons in photographic technique.
After getting home, we learned that Ansel had made the photo from the platform on top of his car. I hypothesize that he used a short telephoto tilt shift lens where he could compress the front to back of the scene. The next time we go, I will climb onto the roof of my Jeep and try the same thing.
Addendum at 6 PM Sunday from my original morning post: we have EXAMPLES: The Making of 40 Photographs by Ansel Adams and on pages 65-68, he does describe how he made the photo in the field and how he made prints. He does describe how he shot from the roof of his car with an 810 view camera and a 19 and 23 inch focal length which are pretty darn long telephoto lenses. He did tilt the camera down and the lens up to get the image sharp from back to front at f/32.
Alternatively, you could bring a handful of SD cards on your trip and never delete your photos from them. Instead, when the card gets full, you could switch it out for a new one. I travel with this small, cheap case for my SD cards, which keeps them dry and protected in my backpack.
Crashplan sounds like a great option for on the go. I always use an external hard drive for my photos and videos. Helps keep my limited space on my my Mac available for other processes and keeps my photos nice and tidy when I open them in Lightroom.
A film around ISO 100 would be closer to what HCB had available in his early years. It's a challenge. A few times I've taken something like FP4+, rated it at EI 64-80, and used it for candid photography of people. It forces you to use very good technique to minimize motion blur.
Fast film, pushing film and the grainy look were later factors more typical of other photographers. If you want to recreate the experience of someone like HCB you should stick as closely as possible to the types of materials and working processes he had.
In case I didn't say so, I was 9 years a corpsman (1948/1957 including 3 years with the USMC-Field Hospital Corpsman, I know, I'm old, but not giving up). In 1954 I was in the basement of NNMC in Med Photo School, then on to USNH St. Albans, Queens, NY, then off to Brooks. I was photographing the then new "Tissue Bank" (formerly skin/bone bank) and the quite new "Radio Isotope" labs. Obviously in my time, there were no transplants. You would be interested to know that I was an OR Tech prior to this other stuff.
Some of my favorite photos on Tri-X were taken during 1980-'81, mostly while biking around San Diego and Baja California on my 10-speed. I wouldn't compare 'em to HCB work, but when I look back on those photos they did manage to capture the essence of that particular era.
I am a journalist and photographer and currently work as the Deputy Editor of Amateur Photographer (AP) - the oldest weekly photographic magazine in the world. Before that I served as the editor of Digital Camera, Britain's best-selling photography magazine, for five years. During my time as editor it became the UK's top selling photo monthly and won Print Publication of the Year at the 2013 British Media Awards. As well as being lucky enough to get paid to write about photography, I've been fortunate to interview some of the greatest photographers in the world, including Elliott Erwitt, Don McCullin, Martin Parr, Terry O'Neill and Steve McCurry. This has been a wonderful learning experience and very influential on my photography. Beyond writing, I am a professional portrait, travel and documentary photographer, and reached the finals of the 2016 Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year competition. I am a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society and hope to take my Associateship whenever I can find the time. In addition I write about well being/personal development and antiques collecting for a range of other titles, including BlueWings, the in-flight magazine of Finn Air.
These photos were taken at the opening reception that was held that evening in the Mary Idema Pew Library's Multipurpose Room. The event featured a blessing by George Martin, Ojibwe elder, and talk by featured speaker, Shannon Martin, Director of the Ziibiwing Center for Anishinaabe Culture & Lifeways. The exhibition will remain on display in the Mary Idema Pew Library's Exhibition Hall through November 21. After that time, it will travel to the Grand Rapids Public Library (January 4-22, 2016) and the Grand Rapids Public Museum (dates TBD).

The question I get most often about solo traveling (other than safety concerns), is how I capture amazing travel content with no one behind the lens. With the right gear and a little bit of practice, anyone can learn the nuances of solo travel photography.
GoPro HERO9 Black: GoPros are perfect for taking awesome action shots while traveling and are widely regarded as the best camera for adventure photography. Paired with the right grip, a GoPro is a must-have for solo travelers.
Planning out your content and gathering inspiration before a shoot makes a huge difference in the quality of your content and saves you time and energy in the long run. I love searching for solo photography ideas on Instagram and then saving them to folders by destination.
Taking a photo of a fingerprint that was charged using a UV Light will yield a photo labelled as Fingerprints, and reward up to $5 and 5XP, depending on the distance and angle it was taken from. Keep in mind, however, that fingerprints will slowly fade before becoming completely invisible after the player stops charging it with a UV Light. Invisible fingerprints cannot be photographed and will result in an invalid photo. Each instance of a fingerprint, including repeat fingerprints on the same surface, can only be photographed once.
Taking a photo of a footprint will yield a photo labelled as Footprint, and reward up to $5 and 5XP, depending on the distance it was taken from. As with Fingerprints, the footprints will need to be visible and charged by a UV light in order to be awarded.
Students, having in depth resource information provided for you for class sessions, hopefully will assist you by not having to be overly concerned with notetaking, rather having the opportunity to be both prepared and engaged, and willing to participate. As you come to know me as an instructor, and understand my teaching philosophy, you will see that my purpose of providing all this information to you, is so you can comprehend the complicated transits in the History of Photography, rather than memorizing information. This is why the final exam is predominately essay, so you can really express your understanding of important photographic concepts that are related directly to the historical narrative.

Pacific Crest Trail: Footsteps and Photographs follows the boot-busting journey of an unnamed thru-hiker on one of the world's greatest scenic trails - tracing over 2,600 miles across the western ridges of the United States. Rich descriptions and authentically vibrant photographs transports readers through the towering evergreen landscapes of Washington, the mystical beauty of Oregon, and the rugged, epic, and inhospitable terrains of California's vastly different Trail sections. The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) belongs to no one single hiker, yet each traveler's experience is deeply personal. This book is not meant to capture and share any one particular hiker's experience but rather provide a visual environment for past and future PCT hikers, as well as nature and adventure enthusiasts' imaginations to fill in the landscape with their own memories.

In 1946, Rorimer returned to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, bringing with him a collection of photographs and index cards documenting historic European monuments before and after the war. An exhibition developed from the collection, Medieval Monuments in World War II, was on view at The Cloisters from August 2, 1946, through December 31, 1947. Among the pieces in the exhibition were the following before and after images of the Church of St. Jean in Caen, France. The photographs succinctly capture the war's devastating impact on Europe's monuments and cultural treasures.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Archives celebrates the achievements of the Monuments Men with a special installation of historical photographs, documents, and publications in the Museum's Thomas J. Watson Library from January 31 through March 13, 2014.
