I came across this Buck early in the morning as he was following a doe and her young. The rutt was on and this Buck was no exeption, he did not let the Doe out of his site.
Winter Scene Yosemite National Park Light snow fell in Yosemite Valley the prior two nights. It has been over a month since the last snow storm so I was looking forward to getting back up to the mountains. I drove up early Saturday morning pre-visualizing a winter scene. I drove around the valley surveying the meadows looking for the right composition. There were a lot of bare spots throughout the park which made my goal more challenging. The soft morning light back-lit these trees against Cathedral Rock which made for a nice capture. February 9,2013
Bishop Creek and Aspen This image was made along the North Fork of Bishop Creek Canyon just below Lake Sabrina. The First Snow of Fall arrived overnight and I spent the day looking for unique compositions. I have stopped at this location many times over the years...The snow and soft light with a slow shutter speed were all I needed to captured this scene.
First Light in Cooks Meadow side lights the famous Elm Tree. This is the last remaining Elm Tree in Cooks Meadow. These tree's were brought here in the late 1800's. James Mason Hutchings planted several orchards in Yosemite mostly containing apple trees but some cherry trees can be found. Hutchings also planted a row of American elms along the route of the present road that crosses the meadow north of the present Sentinel Bridge. These were grown from seed supplied by Rev. Joseph Worcester of Waltham, Massachusetts. 12.8.2009 – 11:09 AM
This image was made on 10.03.2011 at around 12:16 pm. While camping at Bishop Creek Campground, I woke up to fresh powder and cold temperatures. The snow continued through the early morning so I decided to go to Cardinal Village for some warmth and a great breakfast. Soon after the storm started to clear so I went up the road to North Lake. I was the first one up there on this day to see fresh snow without any tracks or signs of mankind. The wind was blowing very hard toward me as I tried to stabilize my tripod for a few images, struggling to look through the view finder as the force of the cold air almost knocked me over several times.
Half Dome from Sentinel Bridge after a prevoius night snow storm. Fresh snow in Yosemite Valley usually melts soon after it falls so I try to work the valley for it's many compositions... Here is a typical image from a famous location...Sentinel bridge is a great place to get Half Dome and potential reflections in the Merced River. It was hard to pass this up as the afternoon light enhances the scene with fresh snow...
Emerald Bay approaching Snow Flurry It was calm when I arrived at one of the pull-outs above Emerald Bay... the cold wind picked and it started to snow signaling this approaching cloud mass. I eventually had to get back into the car as it grew closer. This was a snow flurry passing through Emerald Bay, The clouds here are full of energy, texture and life. I hoped to captured the essence of the moment in Emerald Bay. The snow storm lasted about 20 minutes, it was awesome...
