Ansel Adams -- What makes most photographers give up on landscape photography
Does anybody else not find ol' Ansel not that amazing? I mean he was a great photographer and had some major technology obstacles to overcome, but I've never seen an Ansel Adams that takes my breath away.
Not even this?
I think a lot of his stuff looks similar, and I'm not really a "typical landscape" person anyway, but to reject Ansel as one of the masters is for a golfer to say that Jack Nicklaus is just a weekend player, or for a painter to say that Van Gogh was an overrated drama queen.
There's definitely something to be said for a 4ft x 4ft print from an original 8x10 negative in an art gallery as opposed to an online photo or mass produced poster, too. A lot of it is the amazing detail he captured on large format.
It's a very nice shot, but I'm more impressed by what he did with what he had than by comparing his work to modern photographers.
No accounting for taste and, when it comes to the arts, each is entitled to his own opinion. All I can say is that I disagree with you. And, as for modern vs. old photogs, I have seen very few still-life images that match the sensuality of Edward Weston's peppers.

Sensor - something one wishes would also sense when the picture isn't going to work right (composition wise lol)
megapixies - common in most digital cameras; responsible for collecting information to represent a photograph.
