entry description
Yosemite Valley's Bridal Veil Fall is beautiful and very approachable. But seeing Yosemite Valley at night with the benefit of a setting moon illuminating Bridal Veil Fall with the Milky Way in the background is a spectacular and unforgettable experience. In this late-summer image, you can also see part of the Merced River that winds through the Valley in the foreground. This image is a composite of two exposures: one for the moonlit Bridal Veil Fall and valley, and one for the Milky Way after the moon set.about the photographer
