Ansel Adams was an outstanding black and white film photographer and dark room expert. He also had the ability to see a great photo in the natural settings that he viewed through his camera lens. He learned from years of experience and inner artistic talent how to create a photograph that would appeal to many people who saw his work. The book "Examples, The Making of 40 Photographs" provides an insight into Ansel Adams' creative thinking as he composed the photos shots and processed them to the final photographs. He provides detailed information on how he composed the photo and about the equipment and camera settings he used, in addition to what he did in the dark room to create the final picture. This is definitely a book that will be helpful to the amateur photographer and professional who wish to learn more in order to improve their photographic technique. It does not guarantee great results but it does explain "how I did it" by Ansel Adams. GeraldRead full review

An interesting look into Ansel Adams thought process and physical camera usage. There's a ton of detail he gives about exposure (still relevant) and film developing (not very relevant to digital photos). Of course, each photo is worth viewing and studying. For each pic, you get about 3 pages of write-up. The book is worth it for the pics alone.

Excellent book...so good that I had loaned out my first copy and decided that keeping a friendship was better than getting my book back when he wanted to keep it longer, so I bought another. This is a fantastic book for photographers seeking to understand more about lens choice and motivation for shooting, as well as offering a glimpse into the personal life of Ansel Adams and his interactions with peers.
For serious photographers. Its a great read, with technical informantion and fun facts about the images.
