Photo: "Pre-Eclipse Night Wars"

Last September, on the night of the solar eclipse, I was shooting down in a SoCal desert junkyard with some friends. 

The clouds covered the moon right as the eclipse was happening, so I turned the camera towards the very dark Western sky and took this image while using a Streamlight Stinger flashlight.

This image, of Lower Yosemite Falls, was taken during my first visit to Yosemite, back in 2012, with a large group of Google+ photographers. 

Tonight, I'm heading back to Yosemite National Park for the fourth or fifth time. I'm looking forward to getting outside, back in nature this weekend. It is also fantastic that it is almost a full moon, there's fresh snow in the valley and it's also 'Firefall' weekend.

It's always such a challenge to explore an entire junkyard and try to capture the most interesting and appealing elements.  

Seeing how ice cream is one of my favorite things in life, there was no doubt I was going to stop to shoot this truck last night.
