The next morning we caught the shuttle bus to Tuolumne Meadows...where we would start hiking back to Yosemite Valley...

    Great series, Michael!
    I like Cathedral Lake shots, and sunrays through the fog...thumb.gif
    And the railways shots brought back memories of the soar feet :):

    Lovely series, thanks for sharing, your picture of you sitting atop the half dome makes my knees go weak.

    My wife and I stayed in San Francisco in 2003 and made the mistake of taking a day trip to Yosemite (didn't quite grasp the distance.) We spent most of the day in the coach and about two hours at the park, hopeless, doh!

    Super shots. You have a wonderful eye for landscapes. I really like all the reflection shots and Half Dome from backpacker's.

    Thanks for the gallery. We visited there and I couldn't come close to your work.

    Fantastic series. Really enjoyed it.

    The first two suffer, IMO, from the heavy cyan cast on the rocks.

    Probably from opening up the shadows....are you working with a calibrated monitor David? I have a brand new computer and monitor and haven't calibrated the monitor yet.

    Not machine calibrated, but software. It's pretty accurate, but not highly accurate. Still, the amount of cyan in there can not be attributed to my monitor, I don't believe. Or it's a matter of taste.... :D

    OH wow! Those are very nice! Hopefully you printed them and have them hanging...

    This one... IMG_4780%20copy.jpg

    Oh he!! no! OMG that is crazy.... are they tethered to that somehow? or are they just hanging on for dear life?

    Thanks for sharing your trip with us... they are great!
