Re: Yosemite national park

Went to Yosemite for a family holiday in May. Beautiful but boy was it expensive where we stayed.

Loved the locations but felt I didn't have enough time to really capture the essence of the place. When you are with a family and have to keep to a schedule that keeps everyone happy there isn't really enough time to get the perfect shot. Had to get the locations and weather that was there at the time and make do.

i need all your advice any time.

Well, for starters, you should have been at f 8, ISO 100.

I agree on the ISO100, but for that shot, I would try f/18. I would also take the photo at a different time of day (dawn or dusk)

I spent a week there with my 'new' 5DM2 about 2 months after I got it. It was an amazing place. I was there in November when the leaves were changing and have some great pics. I was also up at all hours of the day and night, and camped in a tent in Campground #4 for $5/night or something cheap like that... Too bad I live so far away...

is this thread meant to be for before/after shot comparisons since exxon stuffed up again?

It is easy to get the two parks confused, but Yellowstone is the one with the oil problems, Yosemite is in California.

I also recommend the north road, either as a drive, or for some amazing photos away from the crowds. I started in Mono Lake and I have never seen anything like it.

this is my first attempt at posting I was inspired by the many great photographs in one of my favorite NATIONAL Park Yosemite. I am not sure how I label the individual photographs with camera and lens etc. but I have a 1D Mark III.

Such an awesome place. I just did a road trip through Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon. The waterfalls were really flowing due to all the run off from the high snow pack this year. They were calling the Mist trail, the 'Hurricane Trail', which I can attest to!

Re: Yosemite National Park "Moon Bow" June 2011

Here's the rare "Moon-Bow" at Yosemite Falls from a few weeks ago - mid June.

The original is at http://www.inspiringlandscapes.com/moonbowyfalls.htm

Kinda cool.

While you can easily see the bow with bare eyes, the colors are not obvious.
(I imagined I could just make out the red at the top of the bow with my bare eyes)
This image was made with a 30 second exposure.

If you look carefully you can just make out the second - making it a Double Rainbow !
(or am I imagining that too :)

You can find the few dates a year this occurs with an online calculator (I just got lucky and a local teacher told me about it). Briefly, you need a large runoff to make big mist at the base of the Falls. Then you need to get there within a few days of a full moon. Last the skies should be fairly clear.
