Yosemite Valley

[Ben Egbert]

This is from my first trip back to Yosemite since the 1970's when I left California. Taken in Sept 2014. I was there frequently from 1948 or so to 1970.

I wanted to like the color version, but it was already so monochromatic that I decided to just make a conversion.

CC welcome.

Looks quite nice in B&W. I like the ominous looking clouds in this shot.

 

[Zeph]

Wonderful Ben, I like what you did with this...

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Nice tones and the B&W treatment fits the scene well.

 

[Jeffrey]

Great B & W with excellent tonalities, Ben. The classic view, of course, under the right conditions.

 

[BarryHamilton]

Really nice b&w indeed. Love the mood!

 

[JimFox]

Very cool Ben! Nice work with this shot from Glacier Point. Being as I am currently in Yosemite, I like it even more!

Ben,
Yup.. really nice. I was only there once and I think we were standing in about the same spot.
Such an awesome place ! Looks great as a B/W nice job.
Regards,
Dean

Most excellent! B&W was the right choice on this one.

Brings back not so fond memories of my first big wall climb up the NW face back in 74 - quite a 3 day epic where we spent a night in slings and ran out of water.

Thanks all, this got much better response than I had expected.

Jim Dockery, your climbing exploits are in a plane so far above my humble hiking experience as to be awe inspiring.

Nice dramatic shot, old friends change, but remain the same.

This is just beautiful, Ben. The tonal range is perfect.

Wow! Now that’s a superb b/w and view.
