Question

A print of a photograph of this location by Charles Leander Weed was used to advertise a hotel owned by James Mason Hutchings. Carleton Watkins created "photographic views" of this location with a "mammoth plate" camera. It's not in New Mexico, but a photograph (20[1])taken in this location, subtitled "Winter, Sunrise," (20[1])was created by (20[1])an artist who also photographed a different (20[1])(*) landmark in (10[1])this (10[1])location (10[4])beside a waxing gibbous moon. (10[1])The Zone System was partly inspired by a photograph of a granite monolith in this location (10[1])that was used to promote conservation efforts by the Sierra Club. For 10 points, name this national park where Ansel Adams took many photographs of Half Dome. ■END■
