Yosemite - Three Perspectives




Happy Valentine's Day everyone! These three images are of Yosemite during the same trip. I wanted to capture different moods and lighting. It is amazing how the light varied in such a short period of time! I love it when there are clouds in the sky...it makes the image so much more interesting! What do you think?


I am one of those photographers who most of the time, over think my shooting process. Sometimes it works and other times it just fails. Then there times when I walk out of a restaurant and I see the the beautiful landscape we have here and do what I know best, taking a photo. Taking a picture for me is more then just clicking a button and seeing the result on the back of the camera. Taking a picture is about capturing a moment in time and knowing you have the picture. If you breakdown photography it basically means drawing with light, to me this photo shows that. The way the sky was painted with many different colors, the way there is just enough light to make out the foreground. Is this the best landscape no, to me it is actually a boring landscape of suburbia America, what makes this photo interesting is the way the light is interacting with rest of the subject.
