Ansel Adams: The Making of a Photograph, Lecture by Neil Chaput de Saintonge, 7 PM, Free.

In 1973, Chaput de Saintonge had the opportunity to study with Ansel Adams and learn his technique known now to all professional photographers as the Zone System. This system for exposing, processing, and printing images enabled the black and white photographer to achieve a richer tonal range than ever before. He will introduce us to a number of Adams’ photographs and explain the techniques that Adams employed to achieve the results he desired. Chaput de Saintonge will share his experiences with Adams and how they set him on the path to becoming a photographer and teacher himself.
