Ansel Adams

This is a landscape photo of the Teton Mountain range and Snake River, taken by Ansel Adams. This image is en excellent example of the use of a small aperture to gain a large field of depth. The Teton mountain range in the background is crisp and clear, every bit of the mountains in focus. This also goes for the trees that fill the middle and foreground. Also, the light in the photo is mesmerizing. I'm not positive how to achieve such an effect, but maybe he used a slower shutter speed in order to allow more light exposure.
