Photos from Yosemite National Park

I took literally hundreds of photos while in Yosemite, but I'm going to leave it at the 23 photos of Yosemite that I have posted to the galleries. (Dial-up optimized version of Yosemite photo gallery). I hope you enjoy the photos.


Next up will be a series of photos of Bodie Ghost Town on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada range from Yosemite. There are some cool shots coming up.

Daredevils at Glacier Point

At 3200 feet above the floor of the Yosemite Valley below, this is something I know I couldn't do, but these two daredevils climbed out to the edge of this granite rock overhanging the edge of Glacier Point. It made me wobbly at the knees just looking at them. Across the other side of the valley you can see Yosemite Falls, which at 2,425 ft are the 5th highest falls in the world.

See it in the Yosemite National Park Slideshow

Half-Dome at Sunset

This photo of Half-Dome was taken from Glacier Point as sunset approached. It is an HDR image from a bracket of 3 exposures spaced 2 exposure values apart.

The view of Half-Dome from Glacier Point is one of the most spectacular views I have seen in my life and is a "must see" and one of the most-highly recommended locations for photography in Yosemite in my opinion. Don't miss it if you are visiting Yosemite. Half-Dome rises nearly 5,000 feet above Yosemite Valley and 8,800 feet above sea level.

See this photo of Yosemite's Half-Dome in the Yosemite Photo Slideshow or in the Yosemite dial-up photo gallery.
