John Harrison Photography > 3/9 "Full Moon Rising over Half Dome" The clouds and fog were pretty thick along the ground as we were coming back from a day of shooting in Yosemite National Park last weekend. The full moon was rising behind Half Dome and created an ominous glow with the clouds. For the photo techies... I captured this with the Nikon D3S @12,800 ISO, f/8 and 4s and the 14-24 lens that I rented for the last trip. Sure would LOVE to own this camera, but at $5200 for the body and $1800 for the lens, I am going to have to wait a while. Pretty amazing to push something to that ISO! I DID run this through two passes of a noise filter (Noiseware Pro) in Photoshop. Thanks for all the support and comments! Sorry if I haven't been able to reply individually.

John Harrison Photography > 3/2 "Cathedral Spires and Rocks in Winter". Just back from another fantastic weekend in Yosemite including the Yosemite Renaissance reception! I did get out to take pictures in between the bad weather. This morning was perfect...the clouds and fog were swirling around the spires and rocks here with a hint of blue sky peeking through! The two spires on the left, I believe, are called the Lower and Higher Cathedral Spire, while the the two on the right are the Higher Cathedral and Middle Cathedral Rock. I can just imagine seeing the climbers ascending those later this Spring.

John Harrison Photography > 2/25 - "Reflections of El Capitan at Sunset" Yosemite National Park. The sunlit El Capitan at Sunset on the Merced. I am excited to announce that my "Reflections of El Capitan at Sunset" has been accepted into a prestigious gallery exhibit in Yosemite! No, not the Ansel Adams gallery (not yet!), but an exhibit called the "Yosemite Renaissance" This was one of my major goals this past year and I got in! The sunlit El Capitan at sunset is reflected on the Merced. I shot this during my national contest winning trip last year (I won the Aperture Nature Photography contest) where I got to shoot with 4 professionals including Scott Bourne, Jennifer Wu, Steve Simon and Gary Hamburgh. If you are in Yosemite in the next few months, stop in and visit the exhibit at the Yosemite Museum Gallery through May 2nd. There is also a reception this Friday, Feb 26th that I will be attending if you are close by! The Yosemite Renaissance is in its 25th year and showcases different views capturing the spirit of Yosemite in different art mediums. This competition and juried exhibit is open to professional and amateur artists and they had a record number of entries this year. Only a few photographers were accepted. Some other famous Yosemite photographers that have exhibited there include Charlie Cramer, Michael Frye (both of whom I have studied under), William Neill and Elizabeth Carmel. About the image: Blue skies are normally not too interesting, so I looked around to find a smaller, more interesting composition. The reflected orange glow from El Cap just lit up the Merced and I found this soothing image (this is one of my favorite images!) The gold and blue are a natural combination that go together with the swirls and flows like an abstract painting. I print this large on canvas and most people can't tell if this is a painting or a photograph. This is part of my "Water, Light and Textures series" of images that can be seen via the link. The Yosemite Museum Gallery is next to the main Yosemite Visitors center and is also close to the Ansel Adams Gallery. I want to thank everyone for their support including my very supportive wife and children, my mentors, Scott Bourne for running the Aperture Nature Photography contest, Jennifer Wu who has coached me, and Michael Frye and Charlie Cramer who I also have studied under. Back out to shooting and getting ready for the Yosemite this weekend!

John Harrison Photography > "Clouds over El Capitan". I captured this during the fall shooting. The clouds were swirling around the nose of El Capitan with the vivid blue sky in the background. I found a clearing just off the road near one of the turnouts and pointed my camera towards El Capitan and the sky. While I was shooting, I must have had 30 different people pull over and get out and come over wondering WHAT I was looking at! I simply said, "Look how beautiful El Cap is with those clouds!!" (Everyone agreed!) Every minute the clouds changed as they swirled around. Another beautiful place to be on a Friday afternoon.

John Harrison Photography > "Winter Sunset at the Coast" Just a nice glow in the sky with the waves crashing around. The green ground cover nicely contrasting with the sky. I captured this near Pescadero and Half Moon Bay. The waves were fairly large as you can tell by the silly people who were a little too close!
John Harrison Photography > "Ice Plant Along the Coast at Sunset" Along the California coastline and highways, Ice plant is common. It flowers with nice purple flowers which gives it a nice touch. This patch at dusk was near Bean Hollow where I was capturing the waves. I really enjoy the bright reds and greens.
