Behind The Lens

Location

this photo was taken on a cold winter morning in Yosemite Valley as a winter storm was starting to clear out

Time

early morning, around 7.30 am. i was expecting a big crowd but to my surprise i was alone in the Valley

Lighting

the light was absolutely stunning, as it often is during a clearing storm in Yosemite Valley

Equipment

back then (2011), i was still using my trusted Olympus E-3, paired with a 12-60 mm

Inspiration

well, the whole valley was very inspiring that morning, and i came home with lots of very satisfying images. i'm always inspired in Yosemite Valley, no matter the time of day and year

Editing

processed with Adobe Photoshop along with NIK filters

In my camera bag

i have been shooting with Sony cameras and lenses since 2015, along with Really Right Stuff ball heads and ProMediaGear tripods

Feedback

i almost canceled that trip thinking it would rain in the Valley , but instead was treated with a clearing Winter storm, just just get out there and enjoy whatever time you spend in these magical places, taking great photos is icing on the cake! and most importantly have fun!:)
