Description:

Do your black & white digital photographs leave you feeling uninspired, lifeless, and dull. Well, get in the Zone—the Zone System, that is.

Based on an award-winning presentation, GetZoned will help put you “In the Zone.”

The Zone System is the photographic relationship between luminance, film speed (ISO for digital), shutter speed, and aperture diameter that was developed by Fred Archer and Ansel Adams in the late 1930s. While the name of Fred Archer might not strike a familiar chord except in the most ardent shutterbug’s mind, the late Ansel Adams is revered by many as the father of landscape photography. His majestic monochromatic views of Yosemite National Forest have evoked awe in the eye of every beholder for years.

The transcendental beauty that is inherent to Adams’s work stems from his mastery of the Zone System.

This mastery combines an unlikely pair of artistic bedfellows—mathematics and chemistry. While today’s digital photography has successfully eliminated the chemistry part, the mathematical element of the Zone System is an essential component that demands a competent understanding.

There’s a difference between just snapping black & white images and using the Zone System to get strikingly bold contrast in your photos. GetZoned will show you how you can get monochromatic, Ansel Adams-style photos with your digital camera using the Zone System.

Typically, books, Web sites, and classes dealing with the Zone System have been shrouded in way too much technical mumbo-jumbo. Not so with GetZoned.

The presentation utilized in GetZoned was awarded a Maggie Award for the best “how-to” article in a consumer magazine – it's simple, easy-to-understand, and, best of all, fun!
