Reflecting on El Capitan, Yosemite
Posted in California, Landscape, Locations, Nature, Photography, Stock Photo, Yosemite by JimA slightly different take on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The manner in which this photo was taken is not unlike the technique used in making Half Dome Reflection II, Yosemite. Early morning lighting in this area can be elusive and fast changing, but for the purpose of this photo mid to late morning light seemed to work out for the best. This particular photo has grown on me, but I’m curious how it resonates with others. What are your thoughts?

The clarity in this is quite amazing Jim. I didn’t even realize it was a reflection until reading your text, but wondered what the red lines around the sky were. Knowing it is a reflection makes it even more impressive. I’d say its a keeper.

that’s cool Jim. I had some shots similar to this from six years ago, but unfortunately that was before I discovered RAW.

Jim - you are very good at photographing the common scenes in an uncommon way. Great job!

@Mark Just what I wanted to hear
I was wondering if the items in the water coming through would be considered distracting or a “feature”. The goal was to create an image that would challenge the viewer a little.
@Richard You should use the JPEG to RAW converter that is out… if there was such a thing. That blows about not having your photograph in RAW format. If you got your photo dead on there shouldn’t be too much to be upset about. If you’re like me as you improve camera gear you’ll find yourself rephotographing certain images. You might just find yourself rephotographing this in the future.
@Sherri Thank you!
