Title: Yosemite, my first shoot in the park
Post by: stevenfr on May 31, 2017, 07:05:53 pm

I just thought to post a few of my images from a shoot I did in Yosemite. This was my first shoot in this park. I was releuctant to visit this area due to the traffic and congestion that occurs with this popular park. I had a great time and really enjoyed shooting the intimate landscapes, which the area offers. I was quite surprised at the opportunites to make interesting images in this park when you look past the shots that the park is famous for. I plan to get back this autumn for ten days to shoot the fall colour.

I will post some more images if there is interest.

All images Phase One XF IQ3 100 camera with and assortment of Schneider lenses.

The light in the first shot is stunning.

Thanks for the feedback. I have attached a few more images from my spring shoot.

Thanks Eric. I really enjoyed Yosemite, I was really reluctant to go, due to the feeling I had that Yosemite has been shot to death. I will post some more images in a day or so.

These image are lovely, even on the computer they seem to show impressive detail. The first one of the tree might look better with a bit less saturation in my view.

Fine work, and refreshing to not see another "clearing storm." The second one of the flowers against the water is especially appealing.

What a great dogwood spring you had.  I particularly like your last two.

Thank you all for your kind feedback. Yosemite is an amazing spot to shoot a variety of imagery at a high level. Definitely going back this fall. I can't imagine the opportunities for photographers that live close to this park. I only had a week and just had to accept the weather and conditions that were presented to me. If I lived close to this park, picking days with fog, or snow or amazing clouds would be amazing to get incredible images.
