"The Great Yosemite Valley"


great yosemite valley.jpg

I took my mom here for as a christmas present a while back, we actually went in spring though (when this photo was actually taken). This is a classic viewpoint of the valley and I highly recommend checking it out both during sunrise and sunset from "Tunnel View".

I love seeing everyone there taking pictures of just enjoying the view. Personally, I believe that it is our job as landscape photographers to help as many people connect with nature in some way; to inspire connection to nature is to create understanding of the value and the need of it we have. I'd like to express my gratitude to all the other landscape photographers and nature lovers I have connected with here, you are doing good in the world by sharing our collective interest in the outdoors. Thank you!

This photo is a massive panoramic stitch of 9x 70mm long exposure shots (to get the wispy clouds). It was tricky to get it all done because the sunset view around this time of day/year lasts only for about 10 minutes. Each shot took just over a minute. I used Adobe Photoshop to do the stitching.

Would anyone be interested in post-processing video tutorials? If so, are their particular techniques for editing that you're looking to improve?

Photo Details:
Camera: Nikon D810
Lens: Nikon AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm
70mm/ƒ/14/64s/ISO 100

Absolutely gorgeous! The colors in the clouds are the icing on the cake. Resteemed!

Thank you very much @photofeed! <3

Oh my goodness, this is stunning man! I need to head back to yosemite soon

Thank you Nate! Yeah man, gotta get down there every other year at least I think.

This is really something Will!

open this photo in new tab and see it in full view!
I think i get what you wanted to do, but my personal feeling is that maybe the photo would be even better without the sun on the mountain. for me it is to bright and it is taking my attention from the great rock formation on the left and the crazy clouds you captured.

Beautiful shot. And yes, tutorials are always welcome. Everyone has a different style so It's good to learn new things. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. If photofeed resteems, it means you are doing a good job!!!

Woo! Yeah, I feel honored from the restreem :P I shall try to keep it up! Haha. Thank you.

Watch out: @sportic is a scammer! Don't send him money, his upvote isn't worth anything!

Oh cripes good to know! I've been wondering how that works. They did restreem my stuff so I suppose technically they did what they promised. No idea of the followers though, that would be a lot of accounts to spoof. That being said I will trust you know best here lol. I'm so new!

I've always wanted to climb Half Dome! Great pic!

I barely remember the only time I've climbed it so far, I gotta get up there as an adult. Thank you!
