Live Auction 3457The Range of Light: Photographs by Ansel Adams
ANSEL ADAMS (1902-1984)
Lot 18 Perhaps snow subjects offer the most exasperating problems to be found in all landscape photography. The photographer is confronted with extremes of tonal value and and a minimum of texture (in the snow itself)...Unless there is some tone in the whitest part of the snow image there is no life whatever in the picture.
