Location

Taken on the Merced River in Yosemite Valley Yosemite National Park.

Time

This shot was taken 6:30 in the morning of April 25, 2014.

Lighting

This was from a series of shots I took after a light snow shower the night before and before the sun was rising into the valley. Not having to worry about the sun snow exposure let me capture the lush greens of Spring.

Equipment

Took this with a Nikon D600 and a 16-35 mm lens and this was handheld.

Inspiration

This was a great morning to wake with a camera in the valley. The Merced was moving very slow and was very dark which made great reflections. The contrast of the new snow fall and the bright green spring growth thrilling.

Editing

I processed this in LR and used a plugin from On1.

In my camera bag

I usually carry 16-35 and 80-400 Nikon lenses. I also carry an assortment of ND filters and tripod.

Feedback

If I had to do it over again I would probably use a tripod and a light ND filter but then I would of only got a few shots before the snow melted.
