“Full moon over Half Dome”. Yosemite National Park
"Full Moon over Half Dome" Yosemite in Winter. This was my 'consolation' shot while trying to capture my "Nature's Firefalls" rare image of Horsetail falls at sunset. I wish that I could say that I had fully researched this shot and was ready for it. Instead, I was coming back from another failed attempt to capture my Nature's Firefalls image. When I came around the corner, the moon was sitting there!! I stopped my car, setup my tripod in the middle of the road (please don't tell the park rangers I did that as it isn't a good idea!) I captured 4 shots before the moon and Half Dome were totally obscured by the clouds! I was pretty lucky to capture this - but that is part of photography. See my Nature's Firefalls image here: http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/2747559_ghkMc/1/281579766_t4hmN/Medium I am debuting this week my latest images from my award winning trip to Yosemite. My Yosemite can be seen here. Let me know which ones you like! Thanks, John

on September 19, 2010Fantastic shot as are all the others. But this one really stands out for me with the full moon right over Half Dome. Question- to get the proper lighting of the moon like you did, did you use HDR to get the lighting all in sync? If not, how did you do it?
