Behind The Lens

Location

Tunnel View is the classic shot that Ansel Adams made famous. Exiting the tunnel you are greeted with the most fantastic view in the park.

Time

This shot was grabbed early in the morning after driving up from our hotel in the Central Valley.

Lighting

This weekend was one of the heaviest rain storms of the year. We didn’t get any snow down in the valley but we enjoyed watching the clouds move by.

Equipment

This shot was a handheld using a Canon Rebel.

Inspiration

I started my photography journey during my family’s yearly summer camping trips to the valley. I also have over 2000 negatives from my time living and working in the valley.

Editing

A slight crop was applied to the original shot to focus on the center of the valley.

In my camera bag

I normally carry my Canon DSLR and a Minolta film camera.
