Here’s a second shot of Half Dome taken at Sunset on our first day in Yosemite taken from Glacier Point. I believe there was a hike that we could have done ending at the point, but we had been doing other things throughout the day, so we just drove up there. As pointed out on the National Park site, this is a very popular viewpoint and the parking lot was full for sunset viewing.
I have this picture taken with both a wider and narrower field of view, but I think this one is the best framing. Just enough of the surrounding landscape to show how Half Dome towers over Yosemite Valley, but not enough that it’s relegated to being part of the backdrop.
Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 32mm, f/8.0, 1/20 sec shutter, ISO 100
