Ansel Adams is widely regarded as one of the greatest landscape photographers of all time.

Light in photography refers to how the light source, natural or artificial and how the position of light source relates to your subject. The position and quality of light can affect any number of things in your final image, from clarity to tone to emotion and so much more.
