A beginning and end.

22. November 2009 by David.

Several members of the Chowchilla Photo Club went to Yosemite today. It was a very successful photo shoot. Check out the clubs website over the next week or so and hopefully we’ll have photos posted by all the members that went   www.passionforphotos.com. Here are a couple of mine, taken at our first stop and last:

I was intrigued by this lone tree that found an anchor in a crack on the side of this rock face. That’s one tough tree.  I balanced the tree with the dark rock face in the upper left with only minor adjustments in Photo Shop.  F5.0, 1/250sec, 160mm, ISO 250.

Do you ever get tired of the Tunnel View of Yosemite Valley. It’s almost always different from the last time you saw it. We were lucky that the clouds moved in the last hour or so, unfortunately they covered all of half dome in this shot but produced some wonderful colors. We hiked above the parking lot to get a better angle. Friedhelm lent me one of his graduated neutral density filters which allowed the sky to be more defined and keep definition in the foreground. You know what I’m ordering after this post. F8, 1/6sec, 26mm, ISO250, tripod mounted.
