Galactic Erratic

[Kyle Jones]

I took this at the end of a workshop in Yosemite. The rest of the group was coming down the hill and their flashlights provided the side light on this glacial erratic near Olmsted Point.

Delightful capture - good eye for the shot.

Kyle, this looks like Olmsted Pt. Nicely seen. I was thinking it should be called "New arrival"

And everybody else just hurried on by & missed it..... Good eye, Kyle!

Awesome work Kyle! It’s always cool when we can benefit from other light sources at night.

You really scored on this one.

 

[Jeffrey]

Damn, that worked out well.. Nice work, Kyle!

 

[Kyle Jones]

Very nice

Thanks Ben

Thanks Alan - although I take limited credit. A few more details below...

Thanks Dan - definitely Olmsted Point which is a wonderful place to shoot at night. That's a good name too.

So here's (to me) the funny thing. As the workshop leader (Michael Frye - I'm a huge fan) was leading us up the hill, he pointed out this rock and mentioned that it makes a great subject. We all proceeded to shoot a bunch of the trees up there and I eventually worked my way back down and set up for this rock (Michael said shoot it, so I'm shooting it). So not only did everyone else miss it, but it had been pointed out to them and they still missed it . When reviewing our shots the next day Michael did note that he was glad someone shot it.

I was annoyed at first that I didn't get the shot before the lights appeared I quickly realized they were pretty cool.

Damn, that worked out well.. Nice work, Kyle!

Thanks a lot Jeffrey.

Michael Frye was who I took my first ever photography workshop with. I am also a fan. Keep wanting to go back for something else, but I'm never able to jump fast enough & his workshops fill up right away.

Really nice Kyle. The hiker side lights give this a very different look.

[Alisa]

Very nice image, I like it.

the workshop leader (Michael Frye - I'm a huge fan)

Never heard of him, looked him up and now I'm a fan too. Thanks!
