Yosemite Valley After A Snowstorm

I got lucky with this one. It was my first trip to Yosemite in 2002 and the whole valley was covered in a snowstorm all morning. I decided to leave, and on my way out the clouds cleared and valley opened up. I must admit, it was awe inspiring. I’ve been back many times since, but the first trip still stands out.

Upper Yosemite Falls And Rainbow

If you time it right you can get rainbow shots from most of the waterfalls visible from the valley floor. This was taken around 7:45 AM on a winter morning. For reference, the waterfall is almost 1800 feet high, so the rainbow is a few hundred feet tall and long I would think. I was all the way across the valley when I took this.

I love B&W photography, though I don’t know if I will ever master it. This was a chilly morning and the photo was taken from the classic “Tunnel View” perspective.

I was about 40 yards from this guy in Yosemite when I took this.
