Description

Set up in El Capitan Meadow this is a 5 minute exposure (I think - might be my 10) with an 85mm (I think) lens on Provia 400F. The large black object in the middle is El Capitan (3000 feet vertical wall of rock) and the lights on it are various climbing groups (it takes 3-6 days to climb El Captian). As I was taking the photographs, I would get cars going by which required me to put my hat or lens cap on the lens to avoid any exposure. This created a small break at one end of the exposure that is visable.

Smoke in the sky scattered light much faster than I would have otherwise desired causing the 'sky fog' to build up much faster than I would have otherwise liked necessitating a (realtivly) short exposure.
