>>37160 He was *really good* at what he did, I just don't much care for the types of photos he did most of the time. Yeah, they're majestic, but it's a friggin' national park--it's gonna look pretty majestic no matter who's taking the picture. Adams was able to get it at just the right moment, 'cause he lived there, and was able to capture it with absurd amounts of detail because he used large format cameras, but when all is said and done, it's still just a national park.
I don't think it's so much that we're used to more variety as it is the opposite: We're burnt out on landscapes of majestic national parks. It's like the pictures of sunsets and flowers that we get ten times a day on /p/. It might be the most technically perfect sunset picture ever, but it's still a damn sunset picture.
And also, personally, I like small depth of field, which Mr. Group f/64 wasn't so much into. I much prefer street photography.
