Group f/64

A group of photographers created in 1932. The original membership was:

Ansel Adams
Edward Weston
Imogen Cunningham
John Paul Edwards
Sonya Noskowiak
Henry Swift
Willard Van Dyke

The name, f/64, depicts the smallest aperture available on the large format camera. With such a small aperture, depth of field is maximal, which - at least in the eyes of the group members - gave the best possible quality of the resulting photograph.
