Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Moon over Mt Whitney

Here's a video of a fellow using an 8x10 camera to photograph Mt Whitney with the moon above.

Very nice, Steve.

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.

And I forgot to add the view of his picture taken from his video. So here it is:

I found his gallery online and he has many amazing pictures. I didn't see the Whitney moon picture, maybe it just hasn't been posted to the collection online yet. His photography is really reminiscent of Ansel Adams. Thanks for posting Steve!
