Impatient Long Exposure Mess-up

Description:I’m not sure why I like this mess-up. I was taking a vertical photo, or maybe it was a horizontal, and wanted to move the camera to the other orientation, but had failed to remember I was taking a 30 second exposure.

The result is juxtaposed El Capitan cliffs and the Yosemite Valley. There’s a comet in there too, but it’s hard to make out.

Location:Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California, USA, North America
