Twightlight on the Kuna Crest
With sunset now behind the mountains, I focused my attention to the small strip of pastel colors right above the Kuna Crest. I was a little annoyed on the first image because somebody left their lights on. I waited for a few minutes with no luck (he was about 1/2 mile away), so I took…

Sunset Over Tioga Lake
Well, here’s a few more pictures from my latest trip to Yosemite. I noticed a few clouds starting to form and was hoping they would be close enough to Mammoth Peak to photograph. That never panned out, so I switched to my wide angle lens (17-40) to capture sunset over Tioga Lake. Hope you like…

Mammoth Peak Near Sunset
I kept looking towards Mono Lake and started seeing some pretty colors in the sky, but by that time (8:15), it was too late to drive to a new location. The peaks started to change colors a bit and I noticed a few clouds were starting to flow towards my location! I just hoped the…

Frozen Tioga Lake
While I was photographing Mammoth Peak from Tioga Lake last Monday, I decided to try some abstract/close-up photos. The first one really stuck me because of the light reflecting (slightly) on the melting snow. Since I was staring at Mammoth Peak, I just had to take some pictures of the floating ice. You can see…

The CPF/POTN Meet-Up at Yosemite
A few days ago I mentioned that I went up to Yosemite for the day. You can read about it and view the photo here: Cathedral Rocks, Yosemite. After meeting everybody, we headed over to Mirror Lake. I was going to hike the one mile with everybody else, but decided against it because it would…

Cathedral Rocks, Yosemite
Went up to Yosemite on Friday to meet some of the members at POTN (Photography on the Net) and CPF (California Photo Forum). We met at the Bridalveil Falls parking lot at 8 AM. I figured I’d get up early and see if I could capture something before we all met. I decided on Cathedral…
