"Trees and Snow in Yosemite National Park"

"Trees and Snow in Yosemite National Park"

"Trees and Snow in Yosemite National Park" Huge snowflakes started coming down while I was taking photos of the beautiful trees and bark in Yosemite. Just an amazing feeling walking through Yosemite Valley with snow coming down. Usually when there is snow, people are leaving the park or running for cover - I think it is the best time! I still have a picture of my daughter in the backpack while we were hiking in 6 inches of snow in Yosemite (I'll ask her if I can share that!). This image caught my eye as you can see the nice green pine needles and brown/red contrast from the bark and the long streaks of snow coming down. I captured this with my Nikon D810, Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 lens at f/5.6, ISO 1250 and the key was a 1/15 second exposure. I played around with different exposures to get different compositions. Let me know what you think and feel free to share!

  • "Fall Colors on the Merced River"  Yosemite National Park, California
  • Lupines and Pine Needles in Yosemite National Park.  Pine cones, pine needles and purple lupines around.
  • "Spires in the Mist" Yosemite National Park. Low clouds, fog, mist and a clearing storm in Yosemite Valley is the PERFECT time to go out and shoot!  Our last day in Yosemite gave conditions that changed every minute.  I liked the ways the trees on these cliffs were popping out of the clouds looking like they are on the edge of the world.

  • "Cathedral Rocks and Spires in Summer" in Yosemite National Park.   Driving along the valley floor in summer might bring visions of thousands of visitors to some... but there are still those places where not a single person can be seen!  This is Cathedral Rocks and Spires and this clearing is an easy pull-out along the Northside drive.  A perfect spot for a picnic!  Rock climbers enjoy these rock to climb!  I believe Lower and Higher Cathedral Spires are there in the center while Higher and Middle Cathedral Rock are on the right.  Spires Gully is in the middle between the Cathedral Spires and Rocks.  There is a climbing route along there aptly named "The Crucifix" that sounds like fun (you can see info on that 5.12b climb here - <a href="http://www.mountainproject.com/v/the-crucifix/106140318">http://www.mountainproject.com/v/the-crucifix/106140318</a>)  Feel free to share the image and + it if you enjoy it!  <br />

  • "Half Dome Sunset from Olmsted Point" Yosemite National Park, California
  • "Cross Country Skiing along the Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park"
  • "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. 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
