The time the photo was taken was discussed in one of Adam's books. He
couldn't remember exactly but someone did some solar (?) calculations
and came up the date and time. I believe it is a good intellectual
exercise.
I read that it's possible to recreate the shot exactly as St. Ansel did.
In a few weeks, the moon is exactly in the same position as it was in
1948, and I heard that they managed to pinpoint the camera location
within a few meters. So I'm sure there will be a crowd fighting for the
chance to shoot a picture that's a more or less an exact duplicate of St.
Ansels original.
Unfortunately, I firmly think that there are no second place winners in
this business... this is about the same sick idea as these newly made
records with someone trying to play the cornet exactly as Louis Armstrong
did in the '20s, just to recreate these old records with modern
technology.
