p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Yosemite Under Moonlight


Took a short road trip this weekend to Mono Lake and Yosemite with a few friends. We decided to head down to the iconic Gates of the Valley overlook in Yosemite around 4AM. When we arrived it was really foggy and hazy, my eyes could hardly see the outlines of El Capitan and Bridalveil Falls. Something told me to snap a few photos anyways and boy am I glad I did. My camera was able to see something truly beautiful under really unique lighting conditions. I can't say I've ever seen anything quite like it, which made the moment really special. This is a single exposure taken with a D600 and Rokinon 14mm. I did very minimal processing to this image since it looked beautiful as is! I hope you guys like it.

I love everything about it .... except the huge distortion (obviously you intended to keep it though). I'd have thought that the profile in LR/PS would have straightened that out a bit.

There's a lot to like about this image, but the distortion really takes away from the comp.
I would play with correction a bit to tame that.

I really like this but agree with the other comments. It is really important to maintain a level camera as the perspective distortion is really distracting. Beautiful shot otherwise

Cool shot. If you can't get your comp with the camera level, just make sure you get enough to pull the sides down when you get home. I would try pulling down the corners to straighten things out. Maybe remove some green cast from the sky, I expect something more blue.
