The Art of Adding Contrast in B&W images like Ansel Adams.

Hey, everybody. I got a very unique email that came to me and an image that was sent and he asked me how I would approach creating a very I'd say high contrast look and detailed look like an Ansel Adams image.

If you're new to the channel, this is dedicated to photography and as a photo artist pushing ourselves out of the box creatively. All right. So, this is going to be some thing very unique and new to me and I need to give you some background information before I work on an image, but a person who does not want to be named sent me an image and I'll talk about that image in a few minutes, but it's a it's a black and white image and what he wants is for me to use my imagination creativity.
