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.
Morning in Yosemite
I drove into Yosemite on Sunday but I was too late for the sunrise 
but I wasn’t about to let the day go to waste. Drove down to Yosemite Valley and wandered the banks of the Merced River for the better part of the morning. In the distance you can see Bridal Veil Falls and if you look really close, you can see its reflection in the Merced.
Stones in Water
Another shot from the West Fork of the Carson River in Hope Valley. I remember reading somewhere that if you are going to take photos of water you need to take a lot of them. Each photo, each angle, the natural light brings something different to the viewer every time.
In the photo the water reflects the last moments of the setting sun. The water smooth as a mirror
West Fork Carson River
West Fork of the Carson River near Hope Valley along Highway 88 in California. This is one of my favorite areas to take photos. I was walking along the river at dusk when I stumbled across this tree root along the river’s edge. I thought it would add an interesting line to the shot.
Frost on the Merced River
Late morning on the Merced River near Nature Center at Happy Isle, I found frost forming along the river. At first glance they looked like jellyfish.
