Hm, I'm not sure if I like this? It might be because I'm very biased against the lens I used. I really hated that Sony 24-240mm. Ten years ago it was the highest zoom they had in an E-mount. But this is kind of interesting...maybe? Thoughts?

(El Capitán, Yosemite, Nat. Pk., California, 2016.)

A black and white landscape photo of a very large granite cliff face in the shape of a dome behind a silhouetted splayed out winter bare tree. There are other silhouetted pine trees on the right and left of the large bare tree in the foreground. Due to processing, the sky is very dark.

Yosemite
It was early spring, and a quiet snowstorm graced Yosemite National Park. I had the immense honor and privilege of experiencing this iconic place nearly alone—just me, the stillness, and the sound of falling snow. As I stood on the Swinging Bridge, gazing at the majestic Yosemite Falls framed in mist and fresh snow, a sacred hush filled the air.

Yosemite Falls Swinging Bridge Yosemite National Park It was early spring, and a quiet snowstorm graced Yosemite National Park. I had the immense honor and privilege of experiencing this iconic place nearly alone—just me, the stillness, and the sound of falling snow. As I stood on the Swinging Bridge, gazing at the majestic Yosemite Falls framed in mist and fresh snow, a sacred hush filled the air. It was during this visit that I first heard the powerful worship song "Is He Worthy?" by Andrew Peterson. The beauty of creation, the solitude of the moment, and the truth of the lyrics overwhelmed me. My soul could only answer one way— He is.

Frosty

This image was captured right after a decent snow storm came through Yosemite Valley.
This beautiful snow covered tree stood out against the muted evergreens behind them.
The snow was unbroken and presents a beautiful white carpet leading back to the tree.
The oak, with it's broad branches seemed to have captured more snow than those around it.

Frosty This is an image of a snow-covered oak tree captured in Yosemite Valley just after a winter storm moved through the valley. The foreground of the image is a white carpet of undisturbed snow. The oak tree "Frosty" is framed on the left by the branches of another oak. The right side of Frosty is framed by some taller Douglas Fir pine trees. Snow pretty much covers everything but the colors of the tree fight to break through. You can see a nice green under the branches of the pine trees. If you look at "Frosty" you can see hints of brown on the branches and trunk.

Solitaire

This was captured in February during the middle of winter.
Camped in Yosemite Valley a snow storm moved through the valley dumping about 8 inches of snow.
As I made my way through the village in the morning I saw this fabulous snow covered oak tree and decided it would make a good subject for a photo. It's not really solitaire but it did stand out from al the other trees around.

Solitaire I captured this magnificent snow covered oak tree after a winter storm moved through Yosemite Valley overnight. The foreground of the image is an unbroken field of snow, pure as can be. The large oak tree is framed on both sides by a few smaller snow covered trees. The large oak towers over the other trees in the area. The branches are heavy with snow. The sky in the background is gray and overcast. This is a color image but the snow and low clouds give it an appearance of being a black and white image unless looked at closely you can see some color in the trunks of the trees.

Three Brothers and Bridalveil
One of my favorite vistas in Yosemite Valley is the tunnel view. Especially on days like the day I captured this image. We had camped in the valley the previous night and it snowed most of the night.
This image shows the magic of winter in Yosemite Valley with Bridalveil Falls flowing in the trough of the valley of the Three Brothers.

Three Brothers and Bridalveil Winter in Yosemite Valley often brings out some stunning views. This is an image of the Three Brothers rock formation in Yosemite Valley. This was captured as a snowstorm was clearing after an overnight storm. The foreground consist of snow covered pine trees, mostly Douglass Fir trees. The branches are all weighed down by the heavy, wet snow. The Three Brothers rise above the tree line. Snow is covering everything at the higher elevation. There are a couple clouds in the background and one is slightly covering one of the peaks. Behind the clouds is a brilliant blue sky.

@BGP Bill I was raised in Fresno and remember as a kiddo going to #Yosemite for the original "Firefall."

As I understood it, a crew would build a fire at the top and then I guess push it over the side. We'd wait at the bottom (not directly underneath) and wait to hear a Ranger yell "Let the Fire fall!!!!

Was pretty cool. Although given California's propensity for wildfires, I can see why they ended it.

Mariposa Grove

Just inside the south gate of Yosemite by roughly 1/2 mile you find the parking lot to this magnificent grove of redwoods. From the parking lot there are a number hiking trails that one can take that are easy to moderate hikes.
I had this whole grove mostly to myself. I had time to shoot undisturbed and completely enjoyed the experience.

Mariposa Grove This is an image of a couple of giant redwood trees captured in Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park. The main focus of the image is a large redwood tree left center in the image. The bark of the tree looks very thick and the tree is extremely tall. If you look at the lower left corner of the image you can see a split rail fence that helps give you an idea of just how large these trees truly are. To the right of the main subject is another redwood, slightly smaller than the main subject. Between the two is yet a younger, smaller tree. The forest floor is covered in redwood needles and small branches. The background shows a smaller forest of trees.

Dogwood Dream

In Yosemite Valley you can explore nature from the micro level to the macro-grand level.
In the springtime the dogwoods along the Merced River bloom in large white flowers and the river serves a wonderful backdrop for these beautiful flowers.
This image was digitally converted with a painterly effect to give it a soft, colorful dreamlike look.

Dogwood Dream This beautiful dogwood flower was captured hanging over the Merced River in Yosemite Valley. The thin branch comes into the image near the top right corner seemingly coming out of nowhere. The branch bends down to the lower center part of the image due to the weight of the large flower on a thin branch. There are a few leaves on the branch as well. The background is a bokeh pattern of blue circles due to the light being pulled from the Merced River. I have processed this order to give the colors somewhat of a fluorescent glow.

Wildcat Falls In Color

Wildcat Falls is a small waterfall by Yosemite standards. This fall would be considered large in most places as it falls 630 feet.
One of my favorite features of this waterfall is the lack of crowd that surrounds many of the other falls in the valley. One can sit below the fall and take in the sounds of the fall and the nature that is all around.

Wildcat Falls In Color This beautiful waterfall is located in Yosemite Valley just a couple of miles from the western entrance on highway 140. This view will never be seen again as a large boulder landed essentially where the left corner of this image is. The falls come into view at the top left corner of the image. The water drops straight down on the right hand side. On the left side of the image the falls fan out to fill the frame. Captured with a slow shutter speed to give the water that nice silky feel. The lush green forest frames the top right of the image.

Waterfall in Black and White

Wildcat Falls is a small waterfall located off of highway 140 in Yosemite National Park. The fall is relatively unknown as the lower portion of the falls is tucked in behind some trees and because there are not any formal hiking trails leading up to it.
This view, now, is forever obstructed by a large boulder that fell from higher elevations.

Waterfall in Black and White This is a black and white image of Wildcat Falls located in beautiful Yosemite Valley off of highway 140. This image is gone forever now as a large boulder fall into the middle of the pool about 20 feet from the bottom of the waterfall. In this image the falls start in the upper right hand corner falling to the left lower center until finally coming back to the right. I used a slow shutter on this image to give the water a nice soft look as it stumbles down over the rocks.
