Mirror Lake, Yosemite National Park
Posted in California, Landscape, Locations, Photography, Stock Photo, Yosemite by JimMirror Lake is one of my favorite locations in Yosemite National Park. In fact in the early 90’s I took a photo of this view and became entranced with nature and landscape photography. The photo I took of Mirror Lake then, is now framed and displayed in my office. It is by no means special in comparison to my current work, but it is a constant reminder of my photographic roots that keeps me grounded. I look at my first landscape photo of Mirror Lake and am instantly enveloped with the feeling of nature. Now when I visit Yosemite no matter what the conditions I visit this same location and capture the same view. I keep thinking that by doing this I’ll someday capture an even better photo of this view, but I think sentimentality runs too deep with the original for it to ever be dethroned as my favorite.
Here’s my latest of Mirror Lake taken earlier in March of 2008

I’ll add to the kudos Jim. Very nice composition, the ice certainly adds a great element. I also like returning to some of the same places over and over again - and there is still usually one time that I can never seem to better, yet I still keep trying.

You might not find a better shot, but repeated forays would generate an interesting series. At least to me! I love that kind of thing.
