Ansel Adams: The National Parks Service Photographs

The book is very good, with excellent works and a very nice selection of the collection that’s presented. Personally, I don’t like that there are no separate photographs from Sequoia National Park. My only real criticism would perhaps be the printing quality — everything is good and precise, but I feel that the dark tones are too compressed in the black areas; the blacks are too strong, causing some details to be lost… although that might be due to the negative itself, I’m not sure. Overall, I’m satisfied with the purchase — a fine item for anyone who enjoys classic photographic history.

A very nice book at a very nice price. Matte cover, which is nice to the touch. Beautiful layout. Images, while 'black and white', appear to have a slight sepia tone to them, which Adams did, at times, employ this technique. This is a gift for a friend who is looking to take a road trip across the country. I am hoping / thinking this will inspire places to visit along the way.

Very good

この写真集のサイズは縦：約１１.６センチ、横：約１０.８センチと、かなり小さなものです。値段が安くて小さいので、手軽に買うことができるので、アンセル・アダムスの写真を取りあえず観るのには適しているかも知れません。 ただ、サイズがかなり小さいので、写真本来に備わっているはずの「迫力」がなく、その辺は買う前に頭に入れておきたいところ。個人的には、いくら小さい写真集だと言っても、もう少し大きくした方がいいのでは？と思うくらい。 その意味でアダムスの大自然を写した壮大な世界を楽しみたい人には、あまり向いてない。 写真自体は国立公園の風景写真以外にも１９４０年代のインディアンの姿も掲載されており、わりとアダムスの多様な雰囲気の作品に触れることができると思います。

Every enthusiastic photographer must have
