Picture: Pine tree and clearing storm clouds peel off the face of El Capitan in morning light, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California
Another from my trip to the valley last month. I was actually shooting a different subject, and literally spun in my tracks to see this scene. I tried several variations, including this where I purposefully aligned the tree with the summit. Feel free to comment and let me know if you like it, love it, or hate it.
Hopefully by the end of summer, I’ll have added some of these to my Yosemite Gallery.
I have a few shots of the tree side by side with El Cap, but your light is way better than those shots. Congrats on the new book btw, I’ll have to go check it out at the store as soon as my injured foot heals.
