Ansel Adams used view cameras, but he didn't like Deardorffs for some reason. What he really liked best was his Hasselblad.

Ansel Adams was a photographer who developed the zone system and belonged to the f/64 group, named for the very small aperture setting which allowed for the sharp detail and extreme depth of field present in his photographs.

Ansel Adams visited President Warren G. Harding in 1921 to discuss the preservation of the national parks and the importance of conservation. Adams, a passionate advocate for nature and photography, aimed to influence Harding's administration to take action in protecting these natural landscapes.

Ansel Adams primarily used large-format black-and-white photography to capture stunning landscapes and natural scenes. He often employed an 8x10 inch view camera, which allowed for exceptional detail and tonal range in his images. Adams was also a pioneer in the use of the zone system, a photographic technique that helped him control exposure and development for optimal contrast and clarity. His work emphasizes the beauty of the American wilderness, particularly in national parks like Yosemite.
