Yosemite at Night, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

With the boys tucked safely in bed I headed out into what proved an increasingly moist night. Wet fog enveloped most of Yosemite Valley, but there were odd pockets of open sky. From Swinging Bridge, I had a pretty straight shot at the stars over Yosemite Falls. The falls themselves were partially hidden by the darkness and fog, but the entire cliff face was illuminated by the light pollution from Yosemite Lodge.

This is a twelve minute exposure with my 10.5mm digital fisheye at f/4.5 and ISO 100.
