I scheduled my time in Yosemite to get the full moon rising at sunset. Mother nature had other plans. I was lucky enough to get this shot, the light only lasted about a minute!

Behind The Lens

Location

Yosemite National Park, CA

Time

Sunset

Lighting

I had no control of the lighting, mother nature gave me about a minute to get this photograph.

Equipment

Canon EOS Rebel T1i, 17-85 mm IS-USM Canon lens @ 18mm, tripod mounted and circular polarizer.

Inspiration

I planned to photograph the moon rise at sunset over EL Capitan and mother nature had other plans.

Editing

Very little post processing : some shadow and highlight adjustments is all.

In my camera bag

Camera, 17-85mm lens, dust clothes, lens cleaners, blower, pen/notepaper, filter kit and information about where I expect to be.

Feedback

This photograph was not what I intended to capture but I feel that it's better than what I expected and i got a great outcome.
