I overslept in the SUV due to shooting the same scene with the stars just a few hours earlier, but I woke up in time to still capture the morning colors of the sunrise.
This was my first time watching a sunset from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. I was hoping to stay after sunset to get some photos of the Milky Way with Half Dome. You can see in the photo how overcast it was, so that wasn’t going to happen. Needless to say, I was quite surprised when the last light of the day peeked through touching Half Dome and the mountains in the background. The vibrant reds, pinks and purples made it an unforgettable sunset.
This photo was taken at 10,023 feet (3,055 meters) at the summit of Haleakala on Maui. Out in the distance in the middle, you can see Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on Big Island. This shot is made from 8-10 shots stitched together. The native resolution is roughly 45 inches (114.3 cm) width by 15" inches (38.1 cm) height, so very large prints would look great!
