Yosemite
Face in the Falls
Reviewing my photos from Yosemite earlier this month, I saw this photo and the boulder looked like a face. Somehow, it reminded me of one of those long days when you just need to dunk your head under some cool water.
Trickle Down Effect
The water above was coming from the pool at Cascade Falls and trickling down into another pool.
Swirls
Lengthen the exposure for the photo and the bubbles on the river become swirls with the current. It reminds me of finger painting 🙂
New Growth & Old Reflections
Taken from the bridge in Yosemite Valley. The new growth from the tree overhanging the Merced River and reflections of trees in the water
Another Point of View
Same old tree trunk at Cascade Falls, just another angle. As a photographer, sometimes even if you move 5 feet away, the photo becomes something totally different. I don’t know why but I thought this old tree trunk was very interesting. Maybe it was the moisture and the drier part of the trunk that added depth…
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.
