September 1

At long last, today I created a gallery for Yosemite!! This gallery will probably NEVER be complete....
I LOVE YOSEMITE!!

One of my recent visits to Y.V. happened to be during a full moon. I did two 'practice sessions' on consecutive nights; layering with warm clothes before heading out! On the first night, I managed to break my tripod :(
This shot was taken on the second night, using a big knit scarf to support the camera. And with that, I was certainly limited as to where I could set the camera up; was scouting for posts, rocks, stumps, etc.
My attention was on the full moon rising to the left of half Dome; also hoping to get some water reflection.
I was somewhat pleased with the results---especially since I had never done any night photography previous to this.

Being most exceptional was in turning around, to see this: looking towards the southern part of the Valley, with the moon behind me! WOW!

The icing on the cake was that during the several hours I spent out there, I had all of Yosemite Valley completely to myself! --except for an occasional car in the distance--

An incredibly sensational and memorable experience!
