Half Dome reflecting in the Merced River in Yosemite National Park.

I recently found out about Flickr's Explore... this shot was featured there (Highest position: 257 on Sunday, February 10, 2008). You can find if your photos have been there via a search on Scout, such as these:

Update February 2015: I replaced the original small file with a larger one, produced using Adobe Lightroom 5 and Photomatix 5 (HDR).

Composite image created from a time-lapse sequence of the moon rise behind Half Dome.

I'll be re-shooting a shot like this with a small handful of photographers in one of my Yosemite workshops in the next year.

I need to redo this composite in my "free time", but you get the gist of it.

As my Yosemite workshop approached last week, I shared the following note with my customers:

"The weather forecast couldn't be better for my Yosemite Fall Colors workshop this coming Wednesday through Sunday! Clear to partly cloudy to light showers and intermittent light snow!
After a clear moonlit night for star trails, the stormy skies can add a lot of dramatic lighting. Moisture can create morning ground fog and mist hanging around the Valley's granite walls."

I couldn't be more pleased that the weather delivered as promised! To lead people to the best opportunities, it's not enough to know photography sites; it's best to also know weather, and how it'll interact with the local terrain.
