Surely one would think the locals would get tired of the view in Yosemite, but on this very cold morning that didn’t seem to be the case. Perched from a lookout I spied a pair of ravens in a much better position to enjoy the distant view of Bridal Veil Fall. All components of this image have been compressed together by using a very long focal length (1200mm) providing an illusion that I was very close to both t
This past Tuesday, March 27th, I was in Yosemite likely during the last snowfall of the year. I’ve been to Yosemite numerous times, but never during a snow storm. It was an incredible experience.
