Half Dome Views

[dan swiger]

Went to Yosemite two weeks ago, hoping from the forecast for some weather drama.
What I got was some gray skies with an exception.

This first image is from a favorite spot to view Half Dome reflections.
This "color" happened just a few minutes before sunset with valley fog providing some character

This next one is a view of Half Dome over Stoneham Bridge, new to me.
My BIL had mentioned this one, so I had brought my waders. I waded out about 100 yds, almost over the boot. Converted to B&W
I intend on visiting this spot with better conditions & hope decent river levels

Both images shot with Mamiya 7 on Ektar

Very nice Dan. The Stoneman Bridge reflection shot is a favorite area of mine, especially when there has been lot's of snow. Getting up and shooting it from along the banks with the reflection is really cool. I think if there is more water though, I am not sure you can get back out in the water, it can move pretty swift and it gets deep pretty fast.

Your #1 has a definite film feel to it, but I am partial to that view in #2.

I love the reflection shot in the first one - the fog works well. The second one is a view with some serious potential. You did get a nice takeaway with this shot.

Both are very nice. I probably floated through here on an air mattress in 1954.

The first one is nice, but would benefit from some nicer light. I think the second is the winner and wading into the river looks like it paid off!
