Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls at night from Cook's Meadow 27 January 2023. A7R f/2.8 15sec ISO6400 28mm. Even though a partial moon lighted part of the north valley wall and the meadow, it was still too dark for me to see the white falls. The long exposure enhanced the detail in the dark shadow yet the moon light did not obscure the stars. #YosemiteFalls #UpperYosemiteFalls #LowerYosemiteFalls #YosemiteValley #Cook'sMeadow #Photography #NightPhotography

Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls from Cook's Meadow 22 January 2023. A7R f/3.5 1/250 ISO100 55mm. End of the day wandering around Yosemite Valley. Hard to take a bad photo with so such a concentration of natural beauty in the Valley. #YosemiteFalls #UpperYosemiteFalls #LowerYosemiteFalls #YosemiteValley #Cook'sMeadow #Photography #WaterfallWednesday

Lower Yosemite Falls Through The Trees
I was able to capture this image during the late winter early in the morning so the crowds were low and I was able to set up in the middle of the sidewalk.
The tall Douglass Firs frame the lower falls on both sides. The tops of trees further into the image further frame the falls.
