We visited Yosemite Valley to try to capture the "firefall" effect of Horsetail Falls at sunset in mid-February 2019 (pictures of that will be forthcoming). Afterwards, Bob cross-country skied a lap around Ahwahnee Meadow and noticed that the half moon was lighting up Half Dome in a way that brought it out, while not washing out the stars above it. He got his tripod and camera and shot these long exposure shots from a corner of the meadow.
While Bob was taking the first photo, the Valley Shuttle bus approached while the shutter was open. The second photo was without a vehicle approaching.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
