Shrouded Horsetail Falls – 2013
In the month of February the setting sun hits the granite face of the ephemeral Horsetail Falls in Yosemite and it creates what people call a ‘firefall’. Alas, last season was a low water year and clouds shrouded much of the mountain as the sun set. I’ll be heading out to Yosemite in a few weeks and hopefully the conditions will be right. But the photo above was still intriguing.
Here is Yosemite’s Horsetail Falls on a good water year in 2011
Boardwalk by Moonlight
To make this shot interesting, I had to angle the boardwalk, the hot spring, the moon and its reflection into the frame. There’s so much to look at in the photo.
Islands in the Sky
Another favorite from my 2013 trip to Yellowstone & the Grand Tetons. I was with a photographer guide and he asked, “what I was going for?” in this shot. I said that it looked like “Islands in the Sky”. It gave the reflection of the mountains a 3D texture.
Overexposed
Yesterday’s photo was the sun setting over the Tahoe Basin. I thought, I’d overexpose the photo (5 seconds) to show you the rock outcropping in the lake. The lake level is down but the water here is still relatively deep here (about 5-10 feet).
Sand Harbor Sunset
One of my favorite shots of 2014 so far. Sun setting over the North shore of Tahoe basin as seen from Sand Harbor Overlook.
Beach at Sand Harbor
One of the many things I enjoy about the Tahoe Basin is the stillness of the water during certain times of the day. 
Sand Harbor Overlook Trail
California is having a drought. I thought I’d head out to Sand Harbor in the Tahoe Basin to see how low the water was. In years past, the rocks are underwater. We need some rain soon.
