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.
...
In his book <title>Examples: the Making of 40 Photographs </title> page
401, St. Ansel describes the details, as well as how he neglected to
take note of the date and time, and how it was later calculated for him
from lunar azimuth tables (4:05 pm 31 Oct 1941). No one will be
reproducing it however badly, since the view of Española (which has
grown considerably) is mostly blocked by fences and industrial buildings
now. Et bliev nix wie et wor :-)
