Ansel Adams had us all beat on making photographs of objects appear better than they do in real life. A beautiful piece with multimedia gallery in today’s NYT on him. Especially love the image of him shooting from the roof his station wagon.

love it
One of my all-time favorites. Would have loved to work as his assistant. Yosemite alone would have been worth it.
this guys work is amazing:)
He’s one of the great ones, for sure.
This isn’t Adams work.
It isn’t even a photograph for that matter.
This caught my eye as, throughout my studies, I’ve never come across anyone pulling off HDR on film, even Ansel Adams.
HDR is a digital process requiring pixel blending modes and tonal identfication.
Then, looking closer, I noticed it’s even more suspiciously fake.
I’ve done the odd bit of work in the 3D CGI sector and this is clearly done in a CGI program.
Probably Vue D’Esprit or Terragen judging by the composition of the ground.
