*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2022*

A great book that gives you background of some of the thoughts that went into the work. Highly valuable insight to be had here. Great images and Ansel was a very good writer.

    Excellent Resource into the Mind of a Master
  

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 26, 2010*

This is truly a fantastic resource for those who want to "step into" the mind of a master photographer.  On a different note, it is also an interesting historical perspective from somebody who has lived through the technological changes in photography and several different "movements" in art.  Beyond just providing you with basic "EXIF" or exposure information on his shots, Adams has provided insight into, among other things, what lead up to "seeing" the shot, how he considered technical aspects (especially as it related to his Zone System), how he felt about the scene and his surroundings, and what he did in the darkroom in order to bring out the best in the shot.  You also get a very good sense of Adams' philosophy on photography and just life in general.I learned several interesting things about Adams from this book that I did not know previously - he bracketed shots quite a bit (which made me feel better about not getting the shot perfect the first time, every time), he spent as much time in "post processing" as he did shooting (which made me reconsider how I use modern equivalents like Photoshop and Aperture), even though he bracketed quite often, he really felt you got your best "base" for the shot from the negative, and thus he was a proponent of pre-visualizing shots.This book is very easy to read and the photographs are nicely reproduced so you can get a sense of what Adams is talking about.  It is also subtly dense.  While you can read it in a very leisurely manner, picking up points here and there, it is also worthy of serious study.  As I have reread favorite sections for a second and third time, I have picked up on nuances in his words that have help me understand the photo better and how I may apply his wisdom to my own photography.Finally, this book has prompted me to do my own "Making of..." series for 40 of my photographs and write about it on my blog.  In that sense, this book has really spurred me to be detail-oriented with my shooting and helped me creatively.  It is worth the modest price and has provided me with at least ten-fold in satisfaction.

    A master photographer speaking directly to you.
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2020*

This book is like traveling back in time to attend an Ansel Adams photography workshop.  The fact that the book was written by Ansel himself provides the reader with a personal experience.  The descriptions of each of these legendary photographs is not only an education in the technical aspects of photography but also its history.  You will learn that Ansel was using pioneering techniques in developing and printing to manipulate his images for dramatic effect, a 1940s version of photo shop and lightroom.  Required reading for students of photography.
