When you’re visiting a popular location like Yosemite, sometimes it’s not about the icons. While the fog was obscuring the icons like Half Dome and El Capitan, I focused on other things. Right under El Capitan, there was some low hanging fog in the trees and composed a few frames. I thought about converting this image into a black and white, but I felt the cooler tones looked, well….cool!
