High Sierra Moonlight

I had wanted to see Moonlight Falls for myself for a few years. This past weekend I made it happen by walking 16 miles round trip and it was the best hike of 2024. I had this little slice of paradise to myself the whole time.

My first thought was what an amazing result for a moonlit image and then I read your description. Gorgeous scene and wonderful reflections on the still water down in front. Nice way to end your summer.

Almost hate to ask but how were the mosquitos?

Thanks, Alan. The mosquitos were non-existent. It's too late in the summer for them; mosquito season here is roughly May to July.

Well worth 16 miles of hiking Michael! I like how you are getting it to reflect in the water as well.

Had you thought about shooting it with a longer shutter speed to smooth out the water falling?

Thanks, Jim.

I did think about it, but that’ll be for the next time I go up there. Well worth another trek.
