“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

  • "Sunset at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz" Walton Lighthouse in the background from our winter trip to the beach this past weekend. Just some nice even lighting with a little glow and the longer exposure with the waves along the shoreline.
  • "Last Images of the Grant Road Farm, Mountain View, California"   This is one of the last farms in Silicon Valley.  Generations of families have taken their kids to the pumpkin patch,bought Christmas trees, or huge sunflowers at the farm. The mustard had been cut down and truck was gone when I went back the next week. Grant Road farm is located near El Camino Hospital in Mountain View and has been slated to be torn down become houses.
  • "Morning Fog Underneath El Capitan in Yosemite National Park".  Shot from Tunnel View Inspiration Point.  The fog was swirling in the valley floor in the morning just below El Capitan.  Half Dome is just hiding in the background with nice high clouds. DSC1355

  • "Pacific Grove Northern California Coastline" I liked this setting along the shore with the purple (Pride of Madera - Echium candicans or Echium fastuosum) and yellow groundcover (clover) with the rolling rocky surf. Just another nice place along the Monterey/Pacific Grove area
  • The “Lone Surfer at Natural Bridges” Santa Cruz, California
  • "Sunset above Yosemite National Park"  I captured this sunset above Yosemite National Park on the way to the Aperture Nature Photography Workshop.  Luckily I was running late, as the rest of the crew were in a hotel room while I captured the pine trees silhouetted against the best sunset of the trip.  More images from my Aperture Nature Photography Workshop gallery can be seen here.  <a href="http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/7554507_MVWMR">http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/7554507_MVWMR</a>
  • "Sunset Flowing", Yosemite National Park, Aperture Nature Photography Workshop Contest trip.  "Water, Light and Textures" series.    We were shooting at Valley View at sunset with stark blue skies.  Scott Bourne had been reminding us to look around and find the smaller images - don't always look for the big picture that anyone else can shoot.  The reflected orange glow from El Capitan just lit up the Merced and I found this soothing image.   This image is inspired by Charlie Cramer and Michael Frye who I have worked with. This image is available as a canvas giclée gallery wrap in sizes 16"x24", 20"x30", 28"x42" and 38"x58".

    Fantastic 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?

    This is a great shot. The grey tones and lighting are amazing. Great composition as well.
