One Tioga Road’s highlights within and outside Yosemite. It’s a memorable and dramatic ascent up Lee Vining Canyon from the Mono Valley to the High Sierra meadow at the park’s Tioga Pass entrance, with a waterfall and two lakes for eye candy along the way. This one is Ellery Lake, one of the high points ar 3200M Approx.
Based on the last Half Dome photo I posted it looks like this is a pretty popular national park. I enjoyed every minute of being there. I took this one from a lookout near Glacier Point Road after a bit of hike around there. I thought I’d start sharing some of the techniques I use. I took this at 1/60 at F16 and a focal length of 52 mm and didn’t use a tripod.
You may have noticed that i have been posting twice a week for a while now, except for last week when I forgot! Things just got away from me and next thing you know I’ve missed it.
This is my take on the famous granite Half Dome mountain in Yosemite. It rises nearly 1500m from the valley floor and is probably the most photographed mountain in North America, certainly in Yosemite and for good reason. I took around 20 different angles of this monument and I’m not sure I came up with anything much different than has gone before.
The only road out from the eastern side of Yosemite is, Highway 120. It climbs up to a height of over 3000 metres through the Tioga pass. Lake Ellery was one of two lakes near the roadside just before reaching the highest point. It was early morning and the fresh clear air made for good picture making.
If you look close enough you can see see the reflection of snow topped mountains in the foreground – beautiful!
