“It’s full of stars!”

Went out to Cooks Meadow to listen to the frogs, and decided to try a little night photography. I’d forgotten to bring my cable shutter release, and so had to resort to high ISO and holding down the shutter button by hand. Lots of grain, as you can see, but also a lot of stars–even though clouds moved over the falls at one point!
Wow, that is a lot of stars. A tip for you if you forget your cable release, set the timer for your shutter and you could use the lower ISO settings.
Thanks for keeping us non-locals up on the happenings in the valley! It’s greatly appreciated.

Well, that works if you’re shooting normal shutter speeds, but not if you’re shooting bulb! Still have to hold down the shutter button.
Beautiful. I like the one of the bear too. Unusual lighting, as is the case in many of your images of Yosemite. Great to see photographs of the old favorites done with a different twist.

Thank you for your kind words, David. They are appreciated. How else can you come away with new images of Yosemite, if not for unusual lighting?
