I had an opportunity in August to take night photographs in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite National Park, right off Tioga Pass. We shot both Milky Way and star trail images along with the usual setting sun shots. The image at the top is the top of Pothole Dome, bottom left is Half Dome from Olmstead Point, middle bottom is Teneya Lake from the north shore, and right bottom is from Olmstead Point.

Introduction

I love the way the camera sees the world, it can be so unique, so different than what is actually there when I take the photograph. My goal is to take photographs that show the world the way I see it,  using the unique photographic abilities that I have, the technical abilities of my camera, and my digital darkroom skills to output the best photograph "equivalent" that I can; a photograph that is wholly representative of my vision in photography and art.  I am not a documentarian or a photo journalist, I edit, delete, and change as needed.  My goal is photographic art and there is no "right" or "wrong" involved in that.
