The Three Brothers Under a Starry Sky

Making really good night photographs is certainly achievable with the latest digital technologies, as is evidenced by the abundance of Milky Way Galaxy photos that are so popular now; but even so, with starlight being the only available light the night I made this photograph, my camera was being pushed to its limits. What helped the situation was all the fresh snow, which amplified the starlight, and making it possible to capture what little light was there. What was astonishing is that the lights from Yosemite Village were illuminating Yosemite Point, which was completely undetectable to the human eye. But the camera saw it! Don't you just love photography?
