Half Dome in Last Light, Cook's Meadow, Yosemite National Park, 6:12 P.M., 14 October 2021. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 9mm (77mm eq.) camera at f/2.8 at 1/122 at Auto ISO 50 (LV 10.9), Snapseed on iPhone to bump up the colors then Skylum Luminar Neo in my Mac to add clouds and finally Skylum Aurora HDR to add snap and vignetting, all from my one original JPG file. bigger or fit-to-screen.
Adding clouds later is nothing new; photographers have been adding clouds to empty skies by using two different negatives to print them onto the same piece of otherwise blank photo paper ever since the 1800s. Skylum Luminar AI (updated as Luminar Neo for 2023) just makes it much, much easier and even has its own cloud templates.

We had no weather on this trip, so I needed Skylum Luminar AI (updated as Luminar Neo for 2023) to add them. bigger or fit-to-screen.
This looks just like the shot above from yesterday, and it is the same rock in the same light at the same time, however shot from a different meadow as you can see from the different foregrounds.
Here's how it looked exactly as shot, without the added weather and artistic input:
As Shot. bigger.
El Capitan Reflected in the Merced River, Yosemite National Park, 8:41 A.M., 16 October 2021. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 5.7mm (26mm eq.) camera at f/1.5 at 1/157 at Auto ISO 50 (LV 9.5), square crop (60mm eq. on HASSELBLAD 6×6 cm), Snapseed, image flipped. bigger or fit-to-screen.
The Ahwahnee Hotel, Yosemite National Park, 12:25 P.M., 16 October 2021, Saturday. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 1.57mm (13mm eq.) camera at f/1.8 at 1/60 at Auto ISO 1,000 (LV 4.3), Perfectly Clear. bigger or fit-to-screen.

No tripod? No problem; here's how my Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max shoots hand-held:
El Capitan by Moonlight, Yosemite National Park, 8:03 P.M., 16 October 2021. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 5.7mm (26mm eq.) camera at f/1.5 hand-held for one-second at Auto ISO 5,000 (LV minus 4.5), Skylum Aurora HDR to bring up shadows and amplify the image in general from my one JPG image. bigger or fit-to-screen.
One second is the equivalent exposure per the EXIF data. To do this the iPhone has to held reasonably still for several seconds while it accumulates many shorter exposures, which are auto-aligned and summed together very intelligently to give us the resulting image.
For a hand-held shot lit solely by moonlight, this is extraordinary.
While of course the iPhone image has much less detail as it was forced to use a very high ISO so that I could hand-hold it (that's why I suggest you shoot at the lowest ISO possible when on a tripod), note that the iPhone shot renders the stars as dots from the short exposure rather than trails. Bravo!
Looking Up, Yosemite National Park, 8:44 A.M., Sunday, 17 October 2021. Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 1.57mm (13mm eq.) camera at f/1.8 at 1/122 at Auto ISO 64 (LV 9.3), square crop (38mm eq. on Hasselblad 6×6 cm). bigger or fit-to-screen.

First job as an adult: dig out the car. For me, rescuing a car from snow and ice is fun! Sorry for you folks who live in the snow and don't get excited about an inch of snow (feel free to skip past my snowy car photos if you like), but this is like being a kid again for me. My website, my rules:

I love my iPhone, and I love Skylum Aurora HDR for making it so easy to crank it past 11. Here's what came out of my iPhone before I cranked it in Skylum Aurora HDR:
Exactly as shot. bigger.
