Great photos.   I really like the tones and contrast on the one titled "Sunrise over Half Dome from Glacier Point." 

 

What were your exposure settings for the Milky Way shot?  In camera NR on or off?

I esp. like the last star shot.

Beautiful shots! How are you finding dynamic range? Any issues with the 11+7 RAW format?

Thanks all!  I usually shoot the Milky Way at 6400 ISO for 30 sec. with a Rokinon f2.8.  I was trying different exposures and ISO's from 10 sec. at 12800 ISO to 30 sec. 6400 ISO.  Overall I was super pleased with the camera, however, in many of the night shots, I was getting the hot pixel like spotting in the shadows.  I was not using in camera NR, so that might make a difference, but I hope they come out with a firmware update to address this.  I think staying in the lower ISO's (under 10,000) was better, but I need to go pull the pics again to see for sure.   The detail in the camera is pretty awesome!
