Tetons and Snake River

 
Ansel Adams The Tetons and the Snake River (1942)

Finally tracked down a good PD version of a classic photo from one of the masters. Illustrating Ansel Adams. - Solipsist 09:09, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. First vote here - Solipsist 09:09, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I would support a higher resolution of that one. Jonas Olson 15:20, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Hmm... well I was going to say - yeah right, good luck finding one. But instead, I'll say - OK, hit <refresh>, that big enough for ya'? -- Solipsist 15:57, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Around 6 megapixels is enough for me, also enough to notice some white spots on the image. I am surprised because Ansel Adams was amaster in printing. Do you think it had been scanned from a not so clean negative ? And what's your advice about some dust removal ? Ericd 21:05, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes the dust is from their scanning and hard to avoid. I'm not a fan of automatic dust and scratch removal. Careful hand cloning over the worst hot spots is often effective. I was tempted to remove the scratch in the clouds top right, but I've already put in too much time on this one and its quite a useful identifying mark. But go ahead if you want to. -- Solipsist 23:36, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Support. Jonas Olson 09:44, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support of course. Ericd 21:05, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Where did you find it? Perhaps an explanation of its copyright status on the image description page is in order. --MarkSweep 22:22, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • The image is actually on the Commons. Follow the link to the 'description page' and you will find reasonably comprehensive source information. A good starting point is the NARA press pack for the Picturing the Century exhibition. There is also good introductory information on NARA's Adams collection here. Most of this was found despite NARA's search engine's best efforts to prevent anyone from finding anything useful. -- Solipsist 23:24, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
D'oh! Got confused by the {fpc} tag and didn't even see the Commons notice. Good job tracking down that JPEG file on the NARA site, which seems to be designed to make navigation and search particularly difficult. --MarkSweep 00:09, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support: beautiful Triddle 22:49, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, excellent version of the photo --Fir0002 23:33, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. A huge wow. Sango123 00:27, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. It's good, but can we get it in color? (I kid, I kid.) Matthewcieplak 11:03, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Sure - if you insist. See Fir0002's suggestion on the Manzanar picture below. A non-Adams non-PD, but color version is available here and there are plenty of others around :) -- Solipsist 12:46, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
