I love Yosemite and live close.Editing

I try to keep things simple. No more than three lenses, a tripod, some extra batteries and memory cards.Feedback
Go out and wait for sunset. The crowds thin out and you will find yourself among a dedicated group, some to take pictures and some to just watch the sunset. Many have picnic dinners. Some have wine and cheese. As the sun goes down the glory of nature and her masterpiece is unfolded. It is quite the event.
