tunnel view

I made a quick trip to Yosemite valley this weekend looking for fall color. The maples were on great display and with the recent rains the waterfalls were strong. I tried my hand at shooting sunrise at Tunnel View and was happy to see some clouds pickup up some color in the distance. I have some...

A subtle sunset from Yosemite up at Tunnel View from a couple of months ago. There was some nice looking clouds to pepper the sky and the color was subtle at sunset but enough to give a nice taste. All comments are welcome, Jim

To bookend with my recent Sunrise at Tunnel View, this was the sunset of that same day in Yosemite Valley. It was a nice beginning and end of a day filled with Dogwood blossom chasing. All comments are welcome, Jim

From last month back in Yosemite. This is from sunrise at Tunnel View. Shooting sunrise isn't always easy there as you end up shooting into the sun and it means everything is in shadow. Typically the area between El Capitan and Half Dome always ends up with a blue cast in contrast to the warm...

I took these last Saturday afternoon a little behind Tunnel View (following the rocks behind the parking lot). The clouds disappeared just before sunset, but they sure made for a beautiful afternoon. Any thoughts are welcome.

A couple of weeks ago when I was up at Yosemite at Tunnel View at sunset, as Twilight hit it dawned on me that the clouds were moving pretty fast in the background. And so I took a couple of 30 second exposures, this was the second one, and just as I was thinking on putting on a 10 stop so I...

My last star shot in Yosemite was my best I think as this meteor streaked right through the shot in the middle of the exposure. It was really exciting to see that streak happen and the 6 or 7 of us up at Tunnel View all gasped and got excited. This is a one shot image, it's my favorite time...

This is a wider view from Tunnel View, still having some of the rocks obscured to varying degrees but not as minimalistic of a view as my previous thread "Curtains". One thing that is interesting is the WB when shooting clearing storms in Yosemite Valley. Quite often the area back by Half Dome...

I ran up to Yosemite early in the week as I saw the forecast was for a late afternoon snow storm with an early morning clearing storm. This was from the clearing storm, and the clouds were acting like a curtain in the sky momentarily pulling open and showing a peak or two and then within seconds...

If only there was some snow in Yosemite Valley I would be up there photographing, instead it's brown and barren so I have to dig in the archives to find some snow on the ground. This was kind of cool how the clouds being lit with color parted a bit to let a view in to the background clouds that...

This was taken in April from Tunnel View. I took the ground image around 11:30PM with the moon lighting Bridalveil Falls. I waited a couple of hours for the stars to move into position and then took the sky image. Any thoughts are welcome.

Surprisingly, my favorite image from Tunnel View one AM last week was embarrassingly taken with my iPhone!:rolleyes:
