If Ansel Adams Shot Video, This Is What It Would Look Like

By Taylor Grant | June 27, 2018

Oh, nothing to see here, just Yosemite National Park in black and white. 🙂 A delightful ode to one of the legends of 20th century photography, Mr. Ansel Adams.

Thanks Tab, for sharing this beautiful memory with me.
18 yrs ago, I fell in love with the incredible energy in this park, as I stood on the lip of Half Dome.
This video would make Ansel Adams smile.
