It's midnight at Gates of the Valley in Yosemite National Park. All is quiet and peaceful. The fog that blanketed the valley earlier in the evening is lifting. The moon illuminates the Merced. All is well. Yosemite National Park. September 2019 Sony ILCE-7RM3 FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM at 24 mm 240.0 sec at ƒ / 8.0 @ 500 ISO 9/17/19 12:07:09 AM ©savoyeimages.com
My son and I drove up to Glacier Point in torrential rain, hoping for a view at the top. A little perseverance paid off, and we were rewarded with painted skies as the storm moved away and unveiled Half Dome over Tenaya Canyon. The view at 7,214 feet is breathtaking. The point sits 3,200 above the valley. On the cliff, you feel as though you are standing at the edge of the world. The one minute exposure captured the fast moving clouds as they passed over the mountains. Sony ILCE-7RM3 FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM at 24 mm 60.0 sec at ƒ / 11 @ 100 ISO 9/16/19 7:20:21 PM ©savoyeimages.com
