Fern Springs in Yosemite National Park

Fern Springs in Yosemite National Park

"Fern Springs in Yosemite National Park" One of my favorite hidden spots in Yosemite is Fern Springs, Yosemite's smallest waterfall. Just as you pull into the valley floor in Yosemite and go over the Pohono Bridge is a pullout for 2-3 cars called Fern Springs. The road is one-way so if you miss it, it is hard to get back to. Just a few minutes to stop and take in this peaceful little spot. Take a short walk down to the river and see the Pohono Bridge from the water to get the full view of the stone bridge. Can you hear the water trickling in the background while looking at the photo?! People drive-by it as they enter the valley and never stop. It is definitely one of the most beautiful hidden treasures in Yosemite. Just over the Pohono Bridge, I myself had passed by it many times. I made a point to visit it twice! People would stop and ask what I was taking pictures of! You can bring your chair and read a book and you probably wont' see too many people around! Another great place I would love to be on a Friday afternoon! Feel free to share and let me know if you enjoy the image! I captured this with my trusty Nikon D300 and my 10-20mm lens at 10mm (15mm effective with the crop factor). f/16 (because I didn't know better), 4 seconds at ISO 500.

  • "Lake Tahoe Bonsai Tree at Sunset"  The massive rocks and boulders in Lake Tahoe almost look like stepping stones out to the Bonsai tree at sunset here in Lake Tahoe.  My first trip to the elusive tree and large waves were on the lake.  I used a long exposure at dusk to smooth the water out.  The vibrant sunset on the horizon filled the sky.

  • "Crashing Waves Along the California Coast"  I captured this near Pescadero and Pebble Beach along the Northern California Coast.  I probably was a little too close but the action of the waves shooting right at you gives an awesome perspective!  I really should get a waterproof camera :-)  Inventory ID-Waves Splash DSC4621
  • "Bean Hollow Sunset" I found a nice quiet beach down at Bean Hollow south of Pescadero and Half Moon Bay for the sunset. Swirls from the surf with the longer exposure and the sun setting on the horizon.  You can just hear the surf and waves coming in as you look out towards the horizon and setting sun.
  • ‎"Poipu Sunset in Kauai" A nice sunset along Shipwreck Beach in Poipu Kauai out in front of the Grand Hyatt. Just a beautiful bay with the sunset coming down over the cliffs in the distance. The clouds just started glowing nicely as the waves were breaking along the shore. You can see the tiki torches in front of the Grand Hyatt - an ABSOLUTELY amazing place if you haven't been there! My wife and I stayed there on our honeymoon years ago and it was great to be able to capture a nice setting.  The Grand Hyatt is one of those perfect places in paradise!  Even if you can't afford a room there, stop at the bar and have a drink and sit out on the terrace to watch the sunset.  You can book your reservations here!  <a href="http://kauai.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp?null">http://kauai.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp?null</a>
  • "Sunset on the Snowcaps in Winter"   Yosemite National Park. "Water, Light and Textures" series. This image is available as a canvas giclée gallery wrap in sizes 16"x24", 20"x30", 28"x42" and 38"x58"
  • Kauai Beach Sunset in Halalei.  The ocean was calm and the clouds were high on this quiet beach near Hanalei.  The colors opened up at sunset and revealed this soothing setting at sunset.  A bottle of wine, some appetizers and a chair would have been the only thing else to make it better!
  • "Pigeon Point Lighthouse at Sunset" The Purple and white flowers here with the waves along the shore. The Pigeon Point Lighthouse is basking in late afternoon sun. edit
