These 2 photographs are the same, stop arguing about the difference in the clouds, if anyone has ever tried to shoot an HDR picture with clouds, clouds will move and change shape really fast and thats just shots a few seconds apart, now imagine back in those days where they had to change plate glasses to make a single in between shoots, big difference!

What I see is an ordinary picture of a tree. Even if it were Adams work, it’s not a particularly good example of what he was capable of doing.

Court records reveal that Mr. Streets, who set the value for the negatives and is handling the related sales, is a convicted felon with a criminal record for petty theft and fraud in Louisiana and Kentucky. Though he says on his Web site, davidstreetsbeverlyhills.com, that he has 25 years of fine-art appraisal experience, two of Mr. Streets’s former employers say his true talent is in the embellishment of his credentials.

Doris Allen, who owns the Bryant Galleries in New Orleans, says that though Mr. Streets, 45, can be “very charming,” he had said he had no appraisal experience when she hired him at her business in 2000. Now she is amazed to see him occupy an influential role in a national art debate. “How can he get up there and claim that those negatives are worth $200 million?” she said. “That is absurd.”

It not the technique nor the film type that Ansel Adams photographs are about. It is about the beauty and grandeur of the lanscape.
