Title: My favorite shots from yosemite (lots of pics)
Post by: natas on May 07, 2009, 10:59:07 pm
Ok, so I am no professional landscape photographer like most of you here...I mostly do portraits and weddings in the pro world. Despite that, I think I grabbed a few nice shots when spending my 1 year anniversary with my wife in yosemite. Feel free to comment and give me criticism. Here are my favorites:

The day before we left

The original plan was to leave the morning I took these photos, but once I saw the snow falling the night before I had to go into the park one last time to see it in snow. It payed off, I got these two gems:

Very nice.  Like all of them but the 1st is I think the best.  When were these shot?

For not doing landscapes, your eye for them is quite good.

My nit, though, is that none seem critically sharp to my eye.

thats just the jpeg compression, they were downsized from my 5D MII and compressed a good bit. Most of these are pretty sharp with the exception of #8

#1 is outstanding. As good as anything I've seen from Yosemite.

#1 is my favorite also, really great light.  Did you take it soon after or before a storm?

But I like them all.   Not bad for a wedding photographer

It was sprinking on and off that day. Right before the sun was going down a ton of clouds came in and it looked like we were going to get a big rain...but it ended up just passing over with a small amount of rain.
