Well, hello POTN!

I'm relatively new here, and just graduated from a semester long photography class. I would like to get into glamor shots/portraits, but can't find a model :oops:

haha

anyway, me and my family are going to Yosemite this weekend for a week. I have been there many times before, but i would like to know what your favorite spots are, and perhaps some tips (if any) for taking pictures there.

Thank you!:D

"The Photographer's Guide to Yosemite" by Michael Frye is exactly what you need and the price is right -- it's only $8.95. I picked up a copy in Curry Village while I was there, although there were only a few copies. It's an excellent book that will keep you busy if you're looking to photograph some of Yosemite's iconic spots.

I keep my copy of Michael's book in my camera bag!

Make sure you take a drive along Tioga Road (hwy 120). I had some killer sunset shots from Tuolumne Meadows last Wednesday. Currently the meadow as some water in the meadows, great place to photo the sunset...

Have a great trip, maybe I'll see you up there (kids want to play in the snow).

Bring a bike and bike the valley floor, you'll be amazed at the shots you'll get

I did and the cheapest listing is for about $75.

Try the obvious spots. Anywhere on the valley floor are great. Up on Taft Point is gorgeous with beautiful fissures and stomach turning drop offs.
