"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!

  • El Capitan at Dusk in Yosemite National Park
  • "The Ahwahnee Hotel in Winter" I love nothing better than being in Yosemite in the winter! The Ahwahnee Hotel just looks amazing with the rock face backdrop behind. This is from a few years ago and can't wait to get back there again for similar conditions! Have any stories to share from the Ahwahnee or any other Yosemite favorite location?! Please like or share it with friends who also might enjoy!    Copyright John Harrison Photography  — at Yosemite National Park.
  • "Flowing below Yosemite Falls in Spring" Rocks and flowing water are two of my favorite things! I really love the textures and colors in the rocks together with the silky water flowing around the rocks. Can you hear the water flowing! Who is ready to head to Yosemite this spring?!
  • El Capitan with Stars at Night.   I was shooting out in El Capitan meadow on a beautiful clear night after a long weekend.  I wanted to try to capture as much as possible to remember the weekend.  There is a climber and lantern about half way up on the right hand side (2/3 across El Cap) near the tree line.  I can't imagine camping out up there!  It was cold enough just being in the valley.  I have another image with my super-telephoto where I captured just his lamp flashing around.
  • "Winter Sunset at Valley View in Yosemite National Park"  I captured this image in February a few years ago in similar conditions as the weather is there currently in Yosemite - rain and clouds down in the valley with snow at the higher elevations.  This day we headed out thinking that it was raining and no chance of a sunset.  As we headed out the clouds started to clear with the sun poking through.  Each minute just started to get better and better!   Like a symphony unfolding in mother nature's concert hall - the drama and excitement changing each minute in Yosemite. El Capitan totally covered in clouds one minute, wide open the next.  No sun one minute, orange, pink and blue the next!   What an amazing time.  Hoping to head up to Yosemite and catch another clearing storm!  The great thing about taking photographs in Yosemite is the weather, clouds and lighting creates totally conditions so that image you capture won't look like anyone else!  Go to Yosemite and take lots of pictures!
