Yosemite NP Valley Under Moonlight

Had a great day out of the office yesterday with Beri! Here is an image I captured from Tunnel View in Yosemite NP of the full moonlit Valley captured with the new Sony Alpha 1. I captured this at 10pm with the moon just a tad below the monoliths camera-right. That is El Capitan (left and lit by the moon) and Cathedral Rocks and Bridalveil Fall on the right. Down the middle is Sentinel Dome, Half Dome and Cloud's Rest. I processed this purposely to lighten the overall scene - my creative decision, and yes, that is a portion of the lunar moon-dog (ice crystals lit by moonlight) in the upper right-hand corner of the frame.

Sony Alpha 1, Sony 12-24mm G Master, f/2.8, 30 seconds, 200 ISO

SONY ILCE-1 30 seconds F/2.8 ISO 200 24 mm (35mm equiv.)
