I spent Saturday in Yosemite National Park, which after two visits is quickly becoming one of my favorite places on Earth. Two friends and I hiked about 13 miles total, 4.5 miles from the valley floor up 3,200 feet to Glacier Point followed by 8.5 miles back down to the floor past three beautiful waterfalls.
This was shot Saturday night from the tunnel view turnoff along the road to Glacier Point. The moon was only one day past full, and it lit up the granite brilliantly -- no flashlight necessary. This was taken at about 11:00 p.m. with my 17-40 f/4 lens wide open on both accounts -- 17mm and f/4. Exposure time was 109 seconds in RAW mode, which allowed me to adjust the exposure compensation to brighten it a tad more. On the left is the 3,000 face of El Capitan. On the right, far in the distance, is the obvious shape of Half Dome.
