Took the family to Yosemite for New Year's. There were no clouds which made me focus on other aspects of the park.
Instead of the classic Valley View scene, this is a variant from the same location. I hope you like it.
RX1RII (64 shots) ~ 3 minute exposure
Excellent image, Fred. I can't recall seeing such a colorful background anywhere in that area, but you are the master of finding things like that. This image has many nice elements that work so well together. Congrats!
I do like your intimate impressionistic image in Yosemite Valley, combining the Merced River with a touch of reflection, frosted trees and a colorful granite background, which gives to me a sense of something similar that Ansel Adams would have captured in color. A small scene sometimes can be big in its impact on the viewer.
Happy New Year!
Fred,
Love this, but you stole my shot
Seriously, I was there a week ago & noted the color on the cliff faces against the flocked trees.
I was trying to frame it with limited FL choices with my film kit/primes

Thanks Jeffrey. There was a nice reflection warmth behind those trees. I was pretty much the only photographer shooting the opposite way.
Take care,
Fred
