Looking at everyone's Yosemite photos made me want to take a look at some I took this February. Always up for CC, if you have any suggestions or tips for my next trip to Yosemite lets hear them!

Just got done with the bus tour and rushed to Tunnel View for a family picture in the fading light. There were lots of clouds rolling over and I went all moody on this one. My wife thinks it looks like the world is about to end, but I like it :)

Snuck back the next day for a quickie, this time in color.

Later that evening... Me and my closest 300 friends gathered at Horsetail Fall to try and photograph the Fire Fall. Alas, there was just a trickle of water and I ended up with...um... Red Rock Fall :)

Shot from inside the tour bus, through the window while crossing the bridge. When I looked at this back at home I was pretty surprised at how well it turned out.

I like your B/W images from this set. They are more dramatic compared to the color.


I want to guest blog on your Landscape / Travel photography blog, PM for details

Thanks guys, I like the black and whites too. Maybe that Adams guy was on to something :) When I look at the images that I linked here they are noticeably less sharp than when I view them in Lightroom or even on my smugmug site that they are linked to. Anyone know why this is and how to avoid it?

ETA: here is the link to the smugmug gallery (external link) so you can see the difference
