Excellent work and the stories behind it. Really liking the valley view shot with the foreground element. Thanks for sharing these.

The photographs are a delicious cake, the stories behind them the perfect icing…any luck you had was earned. Wonderful variety, just-right compositions, weather, wildlife…an easy vote for me.

Tim, what an incredible trip! I always love reading the backstory as it connects me as a viewer to your images. Fantastic photography and hats off to braving the cold weather to get the fire fall image. Fantastic set and it definitely earns my vote 👍🏻
I’m curious what your ‘special technique’ for the Milky Way image is…
Thanks! I shoot a low ISO super long exposure for the land portion and combine it with a much quicker shutter speed image taken of the stars to eliminate any star trails. Often times I also shoot around 20 consecutive sky images and stack those in SLS for noise reduction. In this particular case the sky image is just a single frame.

Great shots. Awesome story. Spelling correction gophers. Actually the coyote was capturing voles. Still, right place, right time.
Thank you! Can't believe I messed up gopher. Thanks for the vole identification too. I tried to edit my post but can't because it was nominated as a finalist for featured thread.
This may be one of the best series/collections of Yosemite images I have seen in a long time. Your tenacity to make these shots happen are inspiring...
I so appreciate the narration of the experience.
