If you've got the energy to hike another 0.75 miles (1.2 km), much of it uphill, after you've reached the valley rim, you can see Yosemite Point. This photograph was taken at minimum zoom, which more or less eliminates the effect, but the main reason to drag yourself to Yosemite Point is for a remarkably close view of Half Dome's face. You can only get a closer one from the north rim of the valley by hiking to North Dome, which is just visible towards the upper left of the photo.

Today's photography tip: when your friends make fun of you for getting your shadow in one of your pictures, remind them that it's not a mistake, it's a self portrait, a Heisenbergian commentary on the bitterly ironic way the photographer's art deobjectifies the very reality his camera endeavors to document. That should distract them long enough for you to get to the next photo.
