This was from last week in Yosemite as I was after fall colors. Normally at sunset the face of Half Dome gets lit up really cool as most of you have seen I am sure. On this evening it did light up at the very beginning when the whole face was lit, then the sun must have gone behind a cloud on...

From last week in Yosemite, this was the day before I met up and shot there with @Jim Sanderson . I drove all night and got there shortly before sunrise, I settled on the Sentinel Bridge to shoot Half Dome with the fall colors along the banks. There wasn't any clouds I could see, but as the sun...

I posted my favorite Tunnel View image from a recent trip to Yosemite on the B&W forum. Here is an evening shot in color. Sort of weird how only a strip of clouds lit up nicely but they added a bit of color to the distant view including the face of Half Dome.

I took this in Yosemite during this time of year a few years ago. I probably got more "keepers" that evening than any other day in my photography experience. My original goal was to hike to Cathedral Lakes for sunset, but a recent snowstorm made that an impossibility. I ended up settling for a...

From this last spring in Yosemite. The extra water from a very wet winter made for some unique opportunities for some different looking images. All comments are welcome, Jim

This was one of my first night photos, and remains a favorite. I was in Yosemite Valley chasing moonbows and stopped at this flooded area near the swinging bridge to capture Yosemite Falls by the light of the full moon.

Taken near Gaylor Lakes in Yosemite. I found this tree to use as a foreground as the light got nice at sunset. Any thoughts are welcome Here's an update to the sky based on the feedback below.

I took this a few years ago on a 1-night trip to Yosemite Valley (entered the park after dark and left before dawn). I really enjoyed shooting some icons with nobody else around. For this one I added some light to the tree with my flashlight. Any thoughts are welcome.

Spring in Yosemite Valley under the light of the full moon. A little bit of light painting was added to the tree.

A nice sunset at Upper Cathedral Lake in Yosemite. This is before the full burn, but I like the natural colors. Any thoughts are welcome.

This is an eleven shot panorama (at 24mm) of the Milky Way arcing over the view from Glacier Point in Yosemite. Any thoughts are welcome.

Half Dome, Nevada Falls, and the Milky Way as seen from Glacier Point.

One from Gates of the Valley in Yosemite earlier in the year. The moon was still up lighting the valley, but the side effect was it was washing out the Milky Way some. It was a case of shooting this just as the moon was setting but still lighting up the valley and then shooting the Milky Way as...

Here are two from last February of the now famous Horsetail Falls in Yosemite. Most of you know this, but it's a narrow 2 week window where this can happen. Typically it only happens maybe 3 or 4 times during that 2 week period as multiple conditions have to be right, including not being too...

I shot this during the spring a few years ago - still the most memorable sunset I've had in Yosemite. The forecast was for clear skies and my intention was to do some astrophotography. I wasn't the least bit disappointed to be greeted by great clouds and a wonderful sunset. Everyone else bailed...

I took this in the spring a few years ago. The forecast was actually for clear skies and my intention was to do some astrophotography. I had no problem changing my plans, though, when I got some beautiful clouds at sunset. Everyone else had given up and I had Sentinel Dome to myself.
