Yosemite Firefall

[BlackRockArt]

It gets more difficult to take proper shots of Yosemite Firefall every year, starting in 2018, Yosemite NPS implemented new measures to curb the traffic, I am very lucky to have been there before the valley got swamped.

This was taken in 2017, I just re-adjusted the details and cropped it.

Enjoy.

Absolutely beautiful, Oliver.

Classic scene and you have done it justice. Wall hanging territory.

Technically this isn't the Firefall Oliver. It's Horsetail Falls on Fire as the Firefall was a real fire they would shove over the edge by Curry Village. I like to keep them separate since they are actually 2 separate things.

This is a really great shot of Horsetail Falls on Fire. I am guessing it won't happen this year unless there is some more rain in the forecast, but other then that snow a few months back, it's been pretty dry up there.

Do you have this one wider to the left? I like that bit of cloud being lit up with color too.

Stunning image Oliver. Very well done indeed.

Jim, I had the hunch you would correct me on the name.



This year, it's going to be dicy, all depends on the weather, hopefully on Tuesday there will be some rainfall.

Stunning image Oliver. Very well done indeed.

Thank you, Jameel, I am happy with my luck on that day.

Congrats on the Daily Featured Photo Oliver!

Very well processed Oliver, and a good showcase of the phenomenon. I find the cloud or spray in the upper left distracting. It's very cool, but it doesn't help the composition as presented.

Congratulations on the Daily Featured Photo, Oliver! I would have liked to see more of that upper left cloud. Unusual to see so much of the top of the falls, where the pool of snow needs to be to feed it. What was your focal length?

Thanks, Tim, I wish I could get a bit more of the left corner; the "Horsetail Fall" phenomenon is getting crowded like our local farmer's market, just a few years ago I could saunter into the pine forest to find a spot all by myself. Now ? I literally have to find a narrow opening amongst the forest of tripods.

Thanks, Monika ! It's very crawded scene, normally I would get there before 3:00pm to set up my tripods, after that, there is no chance to move. Mostly I shoot at 180mm to get the full length of the horsetaill fall.
