End of the day After a long day in Yosemite valley my family and I watched the sunset looking at half dome. My son told me to look behind me and I saw this scene.. . . . . . . . #ill_landscapes #exceptional_pictures #visioncamm #freedom_daily #ig_devineshots #trav3lr #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Yosemite National Park)

Bridalveil Fall cascading into a pool of illuminated color. On bright, sunny days, the water vapor from the waterfall acts as a prism, bending rays of sunlight to form a brilliant spectrum of color.

A full moon and clear skies in Yosemite during the month of May at peak water levels. The mist at the base of the fall difracted the moon light forming what is called a "moonbow".. . . . . . . . #ill_landscapes #exceptional_pictures #visioncamm #freedom_daily #ig_devineshots #trav3lr #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Yosemite National Park)

Ice Beach in Iceland. I called this photo "Diamonds in the rough". The ice blocks display a nice blue glow and some reflect a soft orange sun light. . . . . . . . #exceptional_pictures #freedom_daily #ig_devineshots #trav3lr #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Iceland)

Full moon on the pacific ocean by river end (Russian river). I took this shot after spending the afternoon with my family taking sunset photographs and having cheese and wine on one of the cliffs. As we headed to have dinner at a restaurent there, I stopped at one of the lookouts and snapped this one. . . . . . . . #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Russian River)

This shot was taken from Glacier Point as the sun was setting on half dome. The snow still capped the dome and surrounding mountains (in May).. . . . . . . . #yosemitenationalpark #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic Sony A7R 2, Canon 70-200 f/2.8 2x extender, Focal length 270 mm, ISO 100, 1/13 sec @ f11 (at Yosemite National Park)

Last light- That evening, my family and I stopped at Leideig's Meadow in Yosemite hoping to catch a nice sunset with the half dome reflecting onto the ponds. I had to wade almost knee deep to set my tripod and compose this shot. I was wet and cold but the final product was all worth it.. . . . . . . . #yosemitenationalpark #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Yosemite National Park)

Shot taken from what photographers call Tahiti Beach in Yosemite. It was sunrise when the early morning light hit the top of El Capitan. . . . . . . . #yosemitenationalpark #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Yosemite National Park)

Photo taken from tunnel view lookout. Fog bathed the valley that morning and the sun was no where to be seen until and for few seconds, a thin fog patch allowed some rays to spread a warm, moody light on the trees in front of me.. . . . . . . . #yosemitenationalpark #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Yosemite National Park)

We hiked the mist trail; to the base of this water fall. It was steep and along the way, I noted the sillhouette of a tree against the mist generated by the fall. Snow still capped the top of the cliffs even though it was May. I used my telephoto lens to capture that composition.. . . . . . . . #yosemitenationalpark #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Yosemite National Park)

This shot was taken in Tuolumne Grove trail which is one of three sequoia groves in Yosemite. It was a foggy morning and my initial hope as we started in the early hours of the day to get a nice colorful sunrise dissipated as the morning clock ticked forward. Gary Hart, my guide decided to explore the Tuolumne grove trail and I am glad he did. The fog permeated the trees and the dogwoods were in bloom and this is one of the photos that I captured.

Living on the edge. Shot taken from Glacier Point looking onto Yosemite Valley. Sunset was upon us and a nice cloud floated at eye level and covered the tip of half dome. I looked around to find a foreground for my composition and there it was, a young man sitting at the edge of the cliff enjoying the beautiful scene. Equipment: Sony A7R II, Lens: Canon 16-35 f2.8. Exposure: 1/8 sec @f/16, ISO 50.

This is the 4th photo from the Yosemite series. This shot was taken from Tunnel view. It was 4:18 pm when the setting sun created light diffraction within the water mist at the base of bridal veil waterfall resulting in a rainbow with an amazing display of colors.. . . . . . #yosemitenationalpark #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic #waterfall #rainbow (at Yosemite National Park)

This is the 3rd photo from the Yosemite series. This is an iconic one of Yosemite and it was taken from a look out known as tunnel view. It is on the east side of the Yosemite valley and looks at the bridal veil fall and cathedral rocks on the right and El Capitan on the left. In the far right corner you can see half dome. The shot was taken on an overcast afternoon at the time where there were so many people including photographers that it was hard to find a spot for my equipment. Body: Canon EOS 5DS R. Lens: Canon EF 16-35 F2.8, Focal length: 20 mm, Exposure: 2 sec. F/18. Lee ND filter (2 stops), Circular polarizer. . . . . . #yosemitenationalpark #landscapephotography #landscapelover #landscape_capture #landscapes #landscape_photography #pixel_ig #landscape_hunter #landscape_lover #landscapecaptures #landscapestyles_gf #landscape_specialist #getlost #landscapephotomag #ig_landscape #ig_masterpieces #splendid_earthpix #nakedplanetearth #natgeotravelpic (at Yosemite National Park)

This is the second photo from the Yosemite series. I took this one from Leidig Meadow. I used one of the flooded areas (plentiful due to the melting of this season's heavy snow) to reflect the half dome as the fading sun painted different shades of magenta on the clouded skies and the majestic rocks. I had to walk ankle deep into the water to position my tripod but had to wait for the ripples caused by my movements to subside before each trial shot so not to mess up and to preserve a good reflective mirror like surface. Equipment used: Body: Sony A7R II, Lens: Canon EOS 16-35 F2.8, Focal length: 35 mm, Aperture: F11, ISO 100, Exposure 1/3 sec. (at Yosemite National Park)
