Beautiful, but confusing. Where are the shadows on the trees that would coincide with the sun being at that angle? According to the shadows on the rock, the sun is actually somewhere left of frame I guess?


Thanks very much for your comment, but no, the sun was part of the original two frames that were stitched in PS photomerge, it wasn't added in. The shadows of the rock and of the trees are as they appeared that morning. I did replace the sky from another shot taken that morning as the original two frames were exposed for the shadows and the sky was completely blown. I also added a darker exposure of the bottom frame as a smart object using darken mode through a mask using lens align in the area of the tree on the left. A lot of the detail of the tree against the sky was lost because of the lighter exposure of the original frame.....does that make sense? This was taken with my new 17mm TS-E, which I think I'll keep , with about 1 degree of tilt and using the shift function for the pano. Nice lens, fun to play with. Anyway, thanks again.

Jim

I took it to be HDR because of the sun location, exposure of the sky and lack of shadows in the trees and rocks. So, yes, I also found it to be a little confusing. Beautiful shot nonetheless. Thanks for the explanation, dave

Wonderful...love the starburst...really makes it dynamic.

Oh...just read it is a composit. Thanks very much for the disclosure (honesty) on that.

Still an awesome picture....just no brownie points for being in the right place at the right time...lol.

I looked at that awesome DoF and was going to ask if you were using the new lens. I have to watch this in action. Bring it North with you. Live View anyone? Incredible image Jim.

That's a beautiful image. I am heading to Yosemite first week of November. Looks like the colors are not there yet ?

Simply gorgeous and agree the foreground made this special. Like the glint of sun and kudo's on some good glass. What lens took this?

Good job w/ the manipulation. Looks a bit hdr as the rock face should be a bit darker w/ the sun coming through like that but the colors and comp are very cool. Well done.

As a bit of a side note...when photos are combined like this (outside of blending multiple exposures), it's good posture to indicate it was a collaboration.

rock on

Wow, that's gorgeous! We were just reviewing some of our Yosemite shots from awhile ago and discussing a return trip, and this just makes me want to go NOW! TODAY! Beautiful shot, Jim. Thanks a lot for sharing it.

Now's the time in the valley. Oaks should be nice this weekend and there may be some water in the falls. Thanks very much.

Thanks again everyone for your very nice comments.
