Title: Bridalveil Falls & Merced River Valley, Late Winter
Post by: Mjollnir on September 21, 2012, 05:59:55 pm

I'm tired of waiting for the best season in Yosemite, so here's something from late last Winter, reprocessed after I got the NIK suite.  LOVE that software.

Thanks, everyone!

This was a conversion into B&W, as I almost always do color heavy snowfall conditions in the Sierra, and I wasn't sure how it would turn out.

I waited for this 4 footer to pass and it left something I had been waiting for a very long time.  But other that storm the year was very slim pickings.  T

Very nice.  I usually run in the opposite direction from ANY Tunnel View shot, but that one has a 'fuller' feel to it, with the best aspects all highlighted.

I haven't been there in a few months, but with the 'beautification' campaign, I wonder how many of those trees will no longer be there.

Mr. Adams would be proud. Nice shot.
