Ansel Adams, Moon and half dome, 1960, colorized by Alex Y. Lim

Colorized a well-known photo by Ansel Adams printed in 1960 from a gelatin-silver negative. Ansel Adams captured the image at 4:14 in the the afternoon of December 28, 1960 with a Hasselblad camera and 250mm Zeiss Sonnar lens, releasing the mirror before operating the shutter to minimize vibration. It was one of his last well known photographs. Arguably, this is the definitive photograph of Half Dome and among the most famous images of Yosemite National Park . Colorized using creative liberties in casting an orange glow to the rock facade assuming that the half dome was facing sunset light opposite the rising moon.
