Sunset Near Glacier Point

[Kyle Jones]

I spent last weekend in Yosemite and had some really nice spring conditions. The valley is nice and green, dogwoods are still in bloom, and the waterfalls are beautiful. Our first sunset was from near Glacier Point and it did not disappoint. Any thoughts are welcome.

This looks printworthy - outstanding lighting on the whole scene and the clouds really set this off in a big way.

My biggest issue with this image is the fact that I didn't shoot it

 

[Ben Egbert]

I would love to have this one hanging on my wall.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Lovely. The last light kissing the top of Half Dome makes it.

 

[Mike Mancil]

Stunningly beautiful. Print large and hang!

I am now in the process of throwing out all of my Glacier Point images. They look terrible compared to this, Kyle. Unbelievable!!!

 

[JimFox]

This is sure very cool Kyle! Really cool in fact. While I like the clouds and the light, what really sets this off for me is the foreground, I like that you used the trees like that in the foreground but you found a patch where you were west enough to still see a bit of the face of Half Dome. Great work.

I was just recovering from being sick, but I think I am now relapsing after seeing what I missed.

One day, I will make the drive up there with no other intentions besides photography. Beautiful image Kyle.

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Kyle!

Thanks everyone. With a sunset and location like this it was just too easy.

Kyle, YES, this is pretty much what I saw from Washburn Pt, a bit more oblique.
Picking up the film today
Very nicely captured. The muted colors of the valleys below & the fire in the sky!

Thank you! Were you shooting medium format at Washburn? I think I may have seen you there when we stopped by to scout.

Very nice Kyle. You had some great light and the sky is just ideal.

Just an awesome image Kyle...wow. I would kill to be there with that kind of light someday.

 

[Zeph]

Super shot Kyle...You've done justice to the scene...

Very nice image Kyle. I remember how, on each drive out on the GP road, I wondered if the conditions will pan out and if it is going to be worth it. But it is beautiful there under any conditions. You scored here.

That is awfully nice light, Kyle! No, more like stupendous...
