I'm gonna start with a disclaimer – no, the night sky doesn't look this vibrant and detailed to the naked eye. Modern camera technology paired with long exposure times allows us to capture much more than our eyes can see. Having said that the Milky Way is visible in this location clearly and appears as a sort of lighter "cloud" in the sky.
Glacier Point is a breathtaking and iconic viewpoint located in Yosemite National Park, California, USA. Perched high atop the south wall of Yosemite Valley, it offers a panoramic and awe-inspiring view of some of the most famous landmarks in the park including half Dome (dead center) and Yosemite Falls. Stretching above is the arch of the Milky Way, perfectly visible thanks to virtually no light pollution.
Acquisition details:
f/1.4, ISO 400, 2 mins (sky panorama)
f/11, ISO 100, 30s (foreground panorama)
