How Did Ansel Adams Get his Iconic Shot of Half Dome?
BY Marc Silber on May 17, 2009Moon & Half Dome by Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams’ Son Michael, told me the story of how his dad got his most famous shot “Moon and Half Dome” in Yosemite: He took it on his way to the grand hotel the Awahnee– just like you or I could have! Tune in here and hear the story for yourself. What was really most remarkable about this moment was to be standing in the exact spot where Ansel took this shot, hearing the story as told by his son.
