For about 1/2 second, I thought you'd found a video of Ansel himself taking his classic photo! Nicely done, though.

As a side note, I was told by a friend who knew Ansel, that he'd taken out a telephone pole in the foreground (blurred it out).

I remember in the late 60s seeing a large format of that photo at the Ansel Adams gallery. Signed. But I didn't have the $125 to buy it!! Augggghhhhh!

Edit: Eeeeek. Talk about conflating photographs! It's Moonrise Over Hernandez and Winter Sunrise Over the Sierra (no moon!). This guy got the moon into it and, of course, it's a terrific shot.

None of the views expressed here in any way represent those of the unidentified agency that I work for or, often, reality. It's just me, fired up by coffee and powerful prose.
