The one case I know about is The Tetons and the Snake River photo.

My recollection is that he waited for about 3 weeks to get the right light of a clearing storm. Unfortunately, I am
not able to find the source of this little piece of wisdom so take 3 weeks with a grain of salt. Maybe it was only
two. :-)
I don't know my source, either. I've heard/read that when photographing in the Sierra Nevada, near his home base, he
would hike around, looking for views/angles, and take notes on the time of year, day, phase of moon, weather, etc. that
he thought would work best, select a date and put it on his calendar. He would then haul his heavy gear to that spot on
the appointed date and before the time, set up and wait for the magic. If the light and/or weather didn't cooperate,
he'd re-evaluate, then scratch or reschedule. TPE would have made the planning for angle of light, moon, etc. easier,
but wouldn't have helped with weather.
Anyhow I visited that exact spot for about on hour on a sunny afternoon about 3:00 pm in September 2008. I took an
8-image pano. It sure doesn't look anything like St. Ansel's photo. :-)
Another thing may be an additional factor. St. Ansel created a lot in the
darkroom. :-)
