Twenty More from the Valley of Fire Photowalk

Twenty More from the Valley of Fire Photowalk
Including at least six more moon rise or set shots. Our digital cameras had insufficient dynamic range to capture the moon and landscape well in a single exposure. I recommended bracketing exposure in case it might be possible to add the moon detail back in, but in most cases HDR tends to leave the moon with nasty halos as it moves (even between exposures only 1/3 second apart), so it'll take a bit of work in Photoshop to try to get the exposures to blend together more gracefully to restore moon detail.

The latest additions are all placed at the front of the album. Several of the attendees are still traveling and haven't uploaded many (or any) photos yet, but you can search on the #lv2012 hashtag to see more photos from the trip.

    Thanks Eric Wingrove and Daniel Ewert. I'd definitely like to return for more side-lit first light shots like this.

    I need to drive down there before it gets too damn hot. Only 1 1/2 hr drive.

    Now this is a textbook example of perfect light bringing color and texture to life.

    Beautiful album, seeing your photos makes it hurt all over again that I wasn't able to make this one. Hopefully I can make at least one of the other two.

G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park

G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park - A World Heritage Site, one of the world's most incredible landscapes - Lunar rainbows ("moonbows") - waterfalls at peak flow - dogwood trees blooming by the Merced River - Spring wildflowers - reflections in Spring pools & the Merced River - full moon night landscapes The second photowalk in my series this Spring, again coinciding with the full moon to maximize shooting opportunities, will be to Yosemite National Park. This is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and with lunar rainbows and night, full waterfalls, and wildflowers and trees blooming, this is arguably the best weekend of the year to visit. Feel free to RSVP or ask questions here, or for more information in a post which won't get buried, I've set up a post under a new Yosemite page at this link, where I'll maintain all the latest logistical details: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116372553458318494396/116372553458318494396/posts/ct...

Limited Time Offer

Limited Time Offer For the next 2 weeks, the light of the setting sun will backlight Horsetail Falls just before sunset... if the waterfall is flowing and if clouds don't block the sun! I just cancelled reservations for 2 rooms at the Yosemite Lodge for Feb 24-26 Weekend. I'll still be going, but I decided to camp instead. Come on up and shoot Yosemite in the Winter! https://picasaweb.google.com/107459220492917008623/MyTravels20062009#5293901653794383122 #plusphotoextract
