Cool
Still Water Under The Bridge
Scrambled down to the water’s edge, under the bridge at Cascade Falls. There was more fallen debris that made for an interesting shot. I used the neutral density filter to ‘slow’ the water’s motion down and make it look like ice.
Cascade Falls – Yosemite
Taken from Hwy 120, near the North gate of Yosemite. Cascade Falls is just beyond the first tunnel as you enter the park. On a good water year, this waterfall is roaring. But, even in a low water year, it’s still impressive. This shot is taken from the bridge, focusing on the lower half of the falls. What’s nice about a low water year, is the exposure of the rocks, the color and even the debris makes for an interesting photo.
Color on the River
I up’d the saturation and contrast in my camera to get the new growth to really pop in this photo. Also used in this photo, a circular polarizer.
Jagged River
The thing that caught my eye as I walked along the edge of the river was the rocks and rapids.
Merced – Absence of Color
Just for fun, I took this black & white of the Merced River. I also used my new Hoya 6-stop Neutral Density filter and I think it created an intriguing photo. More photos coming this week with that filter. I think it was worth the money spent.
Moss on Old Redwood
I thought that this moss was cool looking growing up this giant trunk of Redwood.
Moss & Leaves
Usually in the Winter, I think of everything as white with brown trees. The drought and recent rains have added some color back into the nature palate. I was really enjoying the green through the forest on the valley floor.
