Which method was developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer to control exposure in photography?
A Zone System
B Rule of thirds
C Forced perspective
Correct Answer: Zone System
Fact: The Zone System, developed around 1939-1940, is a systematic approach to achieving optimal exposure and tonal control in photography. It divides the tonal range into 11 zones, from pure black (Zone 0) to pure white (Zone X), with each zone representing a one-stop difference in exposure. Photographers use the system to pre-visualize how elements of a scene will appear in the final image.
