More quotes by Ansel Adams
I can't verbalize the internal meaning of pictures whatsoever. Some of my friends can at very mystical levels, but I prefer to say that, if I feel something strongly, I would make a photograph, that would be the equivalent of what I saw and felt.
Ansel Adams
My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.
Ansel Adams
Bad weather makes for good photography.
Ansel Adams
It is all very beautiful and magical here - a quality which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun bake into you.
Ansel Adams
To visualize an image (in whole or in part) is to see clearly in the mind prior to exposure, a continuous projection from composing the image through the final print.
Ansel Adams
To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.
Ansel Adams
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
Ansel Adams
The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream.
Ansel Adams
I am probably afraid that some spectator will not understand my photography - therefore I proceed to make it really less understandable by writing defensibly about it.
Ansel Adams
The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!
Ansel Adams
The great rocks of Yosemite, expressing qualities of timeless yet intimate grandeur, are the most compelling formations of their kind. We should not casually pass them by, for they are the very heart of the earth speaking to us.
Ansel Adams
The next time you pick up a camera think of it not as an inflexible and automated robot, but as a flexible instrument which you must understand to properly use. An electronic and optical miracle creates nothing on its own! Whatever beauty and excitement it can represent exist in your mind and spirit to begin with.
Ansel Adams
The craft of photography is the key to good images.
Ansel Adams
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Ansel Adams
Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.
Ansel Adams
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
Ansel Adams
Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.
Ansel Adams
The skies and land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite that wherever you are you are isolated in a glowing world between the macro and the micro.
Ansel Adams
If what I see in my mind excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph.
Ansel Adams
Black and white photography is truly quite a 'departure from reality', and the transition from one aspect of visual magic to another was not as complete as many imagine.
Ansel Adams
