I just got back from a little 3 1/2 - 4 day trip to Yosemite. I went 3 years ago in October and discovered then it was much easier to get in the fall. So I thought I'd try it again. Only this time it was MUCH colder and I found it hard to walk around and take shots, I got so chilled.
The second day it warmed up a little and there were clouds! (The first day and three years ago there were none, which is-not-good.) Yosemite is dynamic range problem, the rocks reflect back a lot of light and the pine trees are very dark. Three years ago I blew out tons of shots. This time around I used exposure lock as much as possible. Made a big difference. The title of this is more how I feel about it than anything -- that there were clouds and that exposure lock was helping me solving the bright rock problem. This Half Dome taken in a field near Camp Curry. Not a preferred place to take it. Probably because nothing shows scale. The only thing that shows scale is that those little green things on top are pine trees. http://www.mapphotography.com/PAWS/pages/halfdomepow.htm Comments welcome.
