Mt WIlliamson - Building Storm

In 1943-44, Ansel Adams spent time at the Manzanar Relocation Camp in Lone Pine, Ca. Because he was friends with Manzanar camp Director Ralph Merritt, Adams was invited to document the internees and life at camp. One of his iconic photographs, Mt Williamson - Clearing Storm was taken at the exact spot shown within the circular error probability of my handheld GPS. This was, for me, a bucket list photograph, standing in the footsteps of Giants, here is Mt Williamson - Building Storm.

Nikon D850, Nikkor 28-300 f/3.5 lens, 1/250 sec @ f/14, ISO 200.

Nice shot & treatment.

I recently got a hi-rez film scanner and came across some pre-digital shots very near there. Will try to post a couple in the near future.

A great image and a great story to go with it!

thanks for the great story about my hero
