Fallen Log

Hikin' Mike

Took another Saturday afternoon trip to Yosemite. While sitting and photographing the sun setting on Cathedral Rocks, Bridalveil Fall and El Capitan, I was struck by this log. It really didn't even hurt! Actually, it was there before me, I thought it needed to be captured...

I wonder if any body heard it. Good shot I like the color in the log.

I like the color of the log and the smooth water in the background.
Thanks for sharing.

At first I thought the log might fence off the upper part, but the broken branches pointing
up on the log easily leads the eye to the stream. I really like this picture. My eyes first catch the
wonderful tecture and color of the log then funnel to the beautiful smooth water.
Very nice and very interesting.

I like this one. Maybe a bit wider tho?

How are the falls? Still raging or calmer now?

Thanks for looking and commenting everyone!

Ian, the falls are still flowing, but definately not raging.

Love the shot and the colors. Nice look to the water due to the 8 sec exposure.

The falls were really raging when I was in the park the second week in May. When I left Yosemite, they had closed the park to in-coming traffic and the Merced was over its banks and I had to ride the motorcycle through about 8"-9" of water in front of the chapel.

BTW, what do you use to do your framing? I really like it.

Thank you Dixie, this is one of my favorite shots from that day. I made a frame template in Photoshop.
