Horsetail Falls Moonset Light, Yosemite National Park

Much is said about light in landscape photography, especially golden hour, blue hour and moonlight. While most associate these lighting conditions with the end of the day it’s important to note they happen at the beginning of the day too and not just sourced from the sun. It’s a little bit rarer to see, as fewer photographers actually want to stay up or wake up to see golden moonlight. Case and point was my last visit to Yosemite National Park as I ran into 2 people photographing Horsetail Falls at 4am. I’m not complaining by any means as the view was spectacular and the golden moonlight was great. Granted the human eye can’t see the color of moonlight nearly as well due to human night vision being somewhat limited. Something to consider the next time you’re sleeping in… what great moonlight are you missing?

Yosemite Moonset

One aspect of night photography that I particularly enjoy is the slow calm of the stars and moon passing over. For some this might seem as exciting as watching paint dry, but when you’re under billions and billions of stars that slow calm quickly gives way to pure awe. This still is from a time-lapse, so at some point soon I’ll share what this scene looked like as it unfolded in a faster timeframe than the 3-4 hours it took to watch in realtime.
