Yosemite - Half Dome
While Tom, Bill and Todd were enjoying their insane hike up the valley walls, the rest of the group met at this location in hopes of a nice sunset and blue hour. The weather earlier in the day was a little iffy in terms of what kind of color we might get, if any. A thick hazy upper level cloud layer diffused much of the sunlight throughout the day. However, as the sun went down, the clouds positioned themselves perfectly and the sun worked its magic on the the face of half dome, lighting it up like a red hot iron. After the sun had fully set, we continued shooting. Amazingly, as if it still contained heat and was slowly cooling off, Half Dome retained subtle color for quite some time. The sky turned a beautiful deep blue, the stars began to appear and Half Dome continued with the subtle glow making for yet another excellent photo opportunity.
