Dusting off a photo from early spring. This is Nevada Falls from Glacier Point...

That's an awesome shot Mike.

Is that a bridge over the top of the falls? I bet the view from there is amazing too - in a different way. Being close to such a powerful force as that waterfall must be incredible.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot Mike, I am envious of your closeness to such wonderment............Joe

That is just beautiful! The lighting is perfect. Its so hard to get waterfalls to look nice without blowing out the highlights (at least it is for me!) Very impressive!

WOW Mike! (Jaw hits floor.) That is one impressive fall. :shock: Great shot. :D I'll bet you get a lot of nice photos from out in the back country. ;)

Mark, yes that is a bridge over the falls. Here's a picture from the bridge looking over the falls: Nevada Falls Bridge (http://www.thebackcountry.org/halfdome/hd07.htm).

Don, I thought it was taken at 300mm, but it was at 100mm and cropped. Surprised me since the crop was the lower 1/4 of the picture.

Thanks everybody for looking and commenting! :D

It's amazing. If you look at how much water there is at the bottom it's a wonder that much water can come out of that small gap at the top. Nice pic.

Very nice shot, Mike.

That's quite an impressive waterfalll and you've managed to capture it in all its grandiose beauty.

Nice shot, Mike - I am definitely returning to Yosemite in the spring to catch the waterfalls in full force. I didn't get a shot from Glacier point, but did hike up the John Muir trail to Nevada Falls last month and got a couple nice shots (same morning as my Vernal Falls shots from earlier). Looking back I probably should've continued up the Mist Trail to Nevada Falls, rather than taking the John Muir up, as going down the Mist Falls for that first 1/2 mile by Nevada Falls is murder on the knees! ;)

Hi Mike, thanks for posting that link. I read through details of the whole hike - that is an amazing trip you did.

That is some photo! Great shot! Thanks for showing. I have yet to get there.

Great shot! I love Yosemite. We now go in the winter so it is hard to ever get up to Nevada Falls.

I'm looking forward to this winter in Yosemite! This is my first winter with the new DSLR. I'm physically unable to hike right now, but I'm looking forward to lots of Valley winter photo ops!

Awesome shot! Thanks for sharing.

Me too! This will be my first year with a DSLR. I can't wait to take the valley shots. We will be going right after the new year. I hope it storms a lot before and the valley is white!

I'd like a nice storm by October/November so I can get some photos to use as Christmas cards! :D
