Location
This photo was taken in Yosemite National Park. The waterfall is called Yosemite FallsTime
This photo was taken at 1053 at nightLighting
The lighting is all moonlight. At specific times of the year, the ascending full moon produces enough light to refract in the mist over the falls to create a ‘moon bow’Equipment
Canon 5d MkII and a canon 24-70 f/2.8 lensInspiration
A friends recommendation and seeing all the wonderful photos that the Yosemite Valley has produced over the yearsEditing
No post processing other than some minor lighting adjustments.In my camera bag
Besides the Canon f/2.8 I also carry a 70-200 f/4 and a variety of filters.Feedback
This was a specific capture due to the time of year and getting the moon at the right angle. Other shots like this just require some patience and a steady tripod. Of course shooting in full manual mode requires paying attention to everything, and nailing the focus
