Ansel Adams, Compaction, Múzquiz & Buicks
Friday, December 28, 2007 
The great American landscape photographer Ansel Adams pioneered a system of photography, the Zone System, in which on any scene to be photographed there were three options.
1. To do nothing and consider the scene normal.
2. To notice few steps between blacks and whites.
3. To notice a great combination of blacks, grays and whites.
With his zone system the first scene on a separate negative would be processed normally. The second one would be expanded and the third compacted or compressed.
