A fabulous show.
One learning point: No clouds in his early photos, just dark skies (e.g. Monolith, Face of Half Dome, 1927, well-displayed in the show). Kodak Ortho Film was awful at showing clouds. Not till Panchromatic film did his photos start showing cloud-scapes.

Monolith was shot on panchromatic plates made by Kodak and a yellow filter so not Ortho. Ortho would result in a pure white sky not a dark sky Cloudscapes (cloudy sky) without blue sky were certainly possible with Ortho film as the blue sensitivity is the problem and clouds are not blue but rather greyish to grey.
Still a great photographs and I am sorry that I can't see the exhibition.
