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 > 11/17. Aspen Leaves Fall Down by The Creek. I found this group of fall leaves down on the rocks in the creek bed. The water rushing by and the fall colors made this just a perfect place to hang out. They had to pull me away or I would have been here for hours! 0768 This can be seen in my Fall Colors gallery here: http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/Landscapes/Eastern-Sierra-Fall-Colors/10149163_Y2dvm
