I recently had the opportunity to revisit the amazing lookout from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. Summer storm clouds made for an interesting sunset shoot. As is characteristic of Yosemite the beautiful and ever transforming light made for quite a light show. With light like this it is no wonder photographers flock to Yosemite. As you’ll see from the photo details below I wasn’t up to my normal landscape photo outing. I’ve been experimenting with some new gear that I’m looking forward to talking about in the near future. More on that later.
Glacier Point Summer Storm
Photo Details:
Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 24mm f/1.4 II, ISO 1600, 1/1600 sec, f/8
One of the nicest images of this view I have seen, experimental or not.
Very nice. Love the light and you captured it well.
Beautiful light and well-composed Jim.
Lovely job, as ever, Jim. In my 45 years, I am pretty sure that Glacier Point takes the title as the most impressive view anywhere I’ve ever been.
Ominous and beautiful…testament to the power and beauty of mother nature and of your skills as a photographer!
Beautiful light and composition Jim. Curious that you would use such a high ISO and shutter speed – perhaps part of the testing?
Very beautiful image, nicely done!
Very nice, you should enter this in The Ansel Adams Gallery Photo Contest
