"Water, Light and Textures" - Scenes from Yosemite National Park

Sunnyvalejohn

I just wanted to share a few new images from a new series I am debuting for my open house this weekend (in Sunnyvale) - "Water, Light and Textures." I shot these in Yosemite in January and finally finished them up. I have printed them all 20x30 (and larger) on canvas that I printed myself. Let me know which ones you like or head to my gallery and use the thumbs UP. I can't wait till Acadia!

My SmugMug "Water, Light and Textures" gallery is located here.

Thanks,
John

1 - "Sunset Flowing" - Sunset on the Merced at Valley View. The reflected orange glow from El Capitan just lit up the Merced and I found this soothing image. This image is inspired by Charlie Cramer and Michael Frye.



2 - "Bridalveil Flows" - I found this little spot and just kept working it. Step to the right, step left, lower, higher. tilt.... I think I finally found the spot. This calm and soothing flow just curved right into my camera and up onto my wall.



3. "Sunrise over Cook's Meadow" - We were shooting in Cook's Meadow and the trees were just beautiful in the cold morning sky. I was looking around just trying to get this complex scene together. I saw trees towering above me, but then off in the distant were those green pines. The sun had just come up past the mountains and I captured this starburst through the trees.


4. - "Bridalveil Trickles" - Another spot along the water flowing down from Bridalveil falls. Finding big, huge pretty pictures in Yosemite is easy (and what everyone else has done). I was searching for those beautiful spots along the way. I know I am successful when I have captured one of those places and it reminds me where I want to be on a Friday afternoon.

Really nice series, I especially love #4, the water looks like it is coming out from within the rock. Nice colors all around.

Thanks for all the great feedback folks! I love waterfalls and I was really trying to do something different. I just kept working a few spots and I like what I came up with.

Interesting the first one didn't connect with folks as much - that is my favorite! I should call it Frye's Flows or Charlie's crevices since they shoot in that style! Canvas and big is the way to go!

I am exhibiting at my house in Sunnyvale. Address and details are posted over on my blog (I need to post something in the forum!) Please stop by if you are in the area.

Cheers,
John
