Ha, yeah, it got pretty chilly...

🌺 A blooming pacific dogwood in Yosemite Valley — sometimes missed by those who are distracted by the waterfalls and granite cliffs...

We'll see, but I'm pessimistic for now.

Yeah, I live nearby so driving up for the day is reasonable.

Let's hope!

Fresh snow covering the road below Half Dome and Washington Column.

❄️ Anyone else patiently waiting for some fresh snowfall in Yosemite Valley?

Not bad at all by any means, turned out great! 🌙

Thanks! Took some planning and a bit of luck.

The 2024 solar eclipse rising over Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite Valley

A technically challenging photo that required some planning and a bit of luck.

🌒 The 2024 solar eclipse rising over Yosemite's Bridalveil Fall — One of my favorites, and probably the only image like it from Yosemite Valley.

Great set! Is that snowfall in the first image real, or added in post?

Those textures and colors are perfect. Great choice of shutter speed. 👌

Ha! Figured you might be here too

Definitely! I just wish it was easier to get to Glacier Point in the winter...

🌄 Anyone else have a favorite spot for photographing Yosemite? Mine might be Valley View, seen here with Ribbon Fall (left) and Bridalveil Fall (right).

That lighting 🔥

Holy cow that lighting 🔥

🌌 Watching the aurora dance over Half Dome was an absolutely magical experience for those of us lucky enough to be there...

Is that Monument Valley? Looks kind of like the spot you get to by hopping the fence from the road...

Thanks!

Awesome light! 🌞

🌨️ Winter in Yosemite is simply magical. The recent early snowfall has already melted off, but I'm hoping for some more of the goods this winter...

That's awesome! I'm fortunate enough to be able to go on weekdays to avoid the crowds...

Of course, your work is awesome!

It's hot and dusty and lacks a variety of food options, but the mountains certainly make up for it.

Ha, yeah.

This is great! How many different exposures to make this one?

As someone who lives near Yosemite, I'm absolutely jealous of this set, especially that fourth image. 👌

Thanks!

Of course! Great stuff!
