  • Me at Tuolumne Meadows

    Me at Tuolumne Meadows

    What do you do when you have a tripod, camera and you’re bored? This!

  • Mount Conness and North Peak

    Mount Conness and North Peak

    I knew before I stopped here that taking pictures around noon would not be the best time to be out, but I just had to stop! I really love this area and tried my best to make something work here. As I was shooting, I thought these would look good as a black and white.…

  • Clouds Over the Kuna Crest

    Clouds Over the Kuna Crest

    Seems that clouds are a rare thing these days, at least when I’m in Yosemite trying to take some cool photos. I was happy to see a bunch of clouds forming that afternoon. Even though the conditions were still somewhat harsh (photography-wise), I thought I’d take a few frames and convert the best one into…

  • Good Morning Little Tree

    Good Morning Little Tree

    Sometimes it’s not always about the big picture. One on of my recent visits to Tioga Road, I set up my camera stuff to capture the early morning light above Mount Dana and Mount Gibbs. Saw this little tree in the shade and then the sun started to illuminate it. Had to capture it!

  • Fire on Ice

    Fire on Ice

    After photographing Mammoth Peak for the morning, I thought I’d scout the area to see what else I could photograph. Since it was still somewhat cold, especially in the shade, I found some ice on a nearby pond. Early morning light helped light up the area to an orange glow.

  • Small Roadside Waterfall

    Small Roadside Waterfall

    After I was done taking pictures of Mammoth Peak at sunrise, I took a drive past Tioga Pass and found some shade to rest. I found this small, roadside waterfall with some ice on the branches interesting and thought it would look good as a black and white.

  • Sunset Pictures Over Mammoth Peak

    Sunset Pictures Over Mammoth Peak

    On this trip I wanted to stay in the Tioga Pass area so I could photograph both sunrise and sunset. After I photographed sunrise, I spent the rest of the morning in the Sawmill Campground/Saddlebag area, and I’ll post a few images later. I went back to “my spot” and tried to get some sleep.…

    Mammoth Peak – Three Crops

    This is a bit different today. I need your help. Same picture, but three different crops. Which version (crop) do you prefer? #1 – The Original (2:3) #2 #3 Square
