More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The great American photographer Ansel Adams is justly famous for his heroic mountain landscapes. He is also a consummate photographer of trees and forest woodland, creating stirring portraits of giant oaks in Yosemite Valley and capturing the shimmering beauty of an aspen grove in New Mexico. This book will present some fifty of Adams' finest photographs of trees - a wide range of imagery from towering redwood groves to flowering orchards; majestic pine forest to leafy deciduous woods; wood and bark details to gnarled tree stumps; close-ups of snow-laden branches to leaf patterns against the sky; and, of course, many a portrait of the mighty trees of the Sierra and the American West. Accompanying the images will be text and poetry excerpts from a variety of writers and observers, both contemporary and historic. Drawn from natural history essays, poems, journals, photographers' and critics' observations, this anthology approach will complement and expand upon the reverence and passion for the beauty of trees so apparent in Adams' photographs.
About the Author
In a career that spanned five decades, Ansel Adams was America's foremost landscape photographer and one of its most ardent environmentalists. His work, ranging from intimate studies of nature to sweeping mountain vistas, has been published in a multitude of books, posters, and calendars.

wonderful,

This review is from: Ansel Adams: Trees (Hardcover)
Adams is able to capture nuances that no one else can. I'd really like to see a print in my hands. This book has really good quality prints. The images are also very spectacular. If you like the silver print process, you must have Ansel Adams books. If you are for the "digital way", you should have an Ansel Adams book to see where you can not arrive !!;)

Brilliant Pictures, Insightful Text, Impeccable Printing,
By John Matlock "Gunny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ansel Adams: Trees (Hardcover)
I really, really don't understand how a person can see so much out of so little. There's a tree right outside my window. It looks like a tree, seen one seen all of them. But Ansel Adams didn't just see a tree.
Sure he saw a tree. But he also saw its shape, the texture of its bark, it's setting, perhaps the brook flowing by, or the mist or the clouds, maybe the mountain in the background. And the timing. This picture has the sun directly behind the trunk of the tree so it's almost just an outline. That picture was taken at dawn so the light would be just so, and the mist not quite gone. This grove of trees are all tall and straight, that single Jeffrey Pine growing out of the rocks in Yosemite is twisted and deformed by the wind. You know what to expect of an Ansel Adams book. Black and White photographs carefully selected, merged with insightful text, printed (in Germany) with impeccable quality -- What more can I say. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
