These two artits have both experienced Yosemite in their lives and have become famous for their depictions of this beautiful park. Their work has been spread world-wide sparking the interest of many others to travel or learn about Yosemite. Many people associate these men with Yosemite because of the talent they have to capture in unique ways the amazing qualities of the land. Chiura Obata came to the U.S. never before seeing landscapes like this, with fresh eyes and his creativity he was able to produce paintings that showed the park in a style most Americans those days have not seen. Ansel Adams loved to work in black and white photography. He would caculate his shutter speed according to the light at the time and be able to do further work in the dark room to emphazise the mountians and sky. This takes a special kind of skill and knowledge and today we do not see the same quality photographs that he loved to shoot. Both these people have had a huge impact on Yosemite and have influenced thousands of people to protect and explore California's vast landscapes.
