Mathew Brady

Mathew Brady and his associates, most notably Alexander Gardner, George Barnard, and Timothy O'Sullivan, photographed many battlefields, camps, towns, and people touched by the war. Their images depict the multiple aspects of the war except one crucial element: battle. Photographs show camp life, routines, war preparations, the moments just prior to battle, and the aftermath of battle.

Ansel Adams

This beautiful black and white photograph is hand made from Ansel Adams' original negative, and available exclusively from the family-owned Ansel Adams Gallery. This is as close to an Ansel Adams original photograph as most people can purchase, and it is spectacular.
I like this picture because it is very mysterious. It makes you think whats down the dark, foggy road.

Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus was born on March 14, 1923, in New York City. An artistic child, she learned photography from her husband, actor Allan Arbus. Together, they found success with fashion work, but Diane soon left and worked on her own. Her raw, unusual images of the people she saw while living in New York created a unique and interesting portrayal of the city. She committed suicide in New York City in 1971. Diane Arbus is the best known female photographer of her generation. Her photography is very unique and diverse. There are many faces that might of had many stories, but you never know..

This phot is an example of f-stop. You can see that the buck is the main point in the photo. The buck is very crisp and the & the background is blurred so the buck could be focused on.

F-stops in particular have a tremendous effect on image characteristics, some of which may not be obvious to amateur shooters. For the bulk of this article, we'll discuss and improve your grasp of the mysterious f-stop. When you take pictures, you're using the interplay between shutter speed, ISO and f-stop settings to control exposure. F-stops especially seem to baffle many novice shooters, perhaps because of the weird alphanumeric symbols used to indicate these settings. Happily, figuring out f-stops is really pretty simple once you disassemble the term and break it up into understandable parts.
