Milky Way With Water Color Effects
This photo was processed in Lightroom in a different manner, and the processing really brings out the diffusion of the light from the King Fire. It looks a bit like a water color to me, and is not ideal from a purely photographic point of view. However, it's different and some people like it.
Half Dome on a Smoky Night
This was taken at Glacier Point, with its iconic view of Half Dome, after midnight on a night when smoke from the King Fire had drifted into the valley. The view was a bit surreal, with smoke in the valley, but Half Dome clearly visible, and the stars shining bright above. The photos have proven very difficult to process. This is one with some processing that produced an interesting short star trails effect. Some say it looks like Morse Code in the heavens!
