Firefall

Firefall is a relative newly discovered phenomenon discovered in Yosemite National Park not to be confused with the old firefall that was manmade.
I've been to Yosemite on 8 different occasions trying to capture this and have been skunked 7 times. This year everything finally lined up properly and this was the results I achieved.

Firefall. This is an image of what is known as the Firefall in Yosemite Valley. The proper name of Firefall is Horsetail Falls. In Mid-February if everything is in alignment you can see this amazing waterfall turn into what appears as a ribbon of Lava coming off the mountain. For this to happen many things need to line up, most importantly a clear sky in the afternoon. The falls come off an area to the right of El Capitan, pretty much a shear cliff. The sun as it sets across the valley drops into an area that sends a focused beam of light directly onto the rocks beside the waterfall reflecting the light onto the falls giving the water this amazing orange glow.

Portrait of Yosemite Falls

One thing you will never see on a busy summer day in Yosemite Valley is the frozen beard that develops over night as the mist from the falls gets blown against the granite and freezes against the side of the cliffs that make up Yosemite Valley.
Another thing that you may never see in the summer is an empty hiking path to the base of Yosemite Falls.

Portrait Of Yosemite Falls This is an image of Yosemite Falls captured on an early winter morning from the trailhead to the lower falls. The trail up to the falls as few people travel to Yosemite during the winter compared to the summer. There is some fresh snow on the ground from a light dusting overnight. The towering falls are loosely framed with some towering Douglass Fir trees. The falls sit prominently near the center of the image. The Upper Falls at 2425 feet drops to the hidden middle falls section and then comes back into the frame at the top of the Lower Falls. At the top of the falls you can see ice and snow that forms overnight during the colder hours.

Mariposa Grove

Just inside the south gate of Yosemite by roughly 1/2 mile you find the parking lot to this magnificent grove of redwoods. From the parking lot there are a number hiking trails that one can take that are easy to moderate hikes.
I had this whole grove mostly to myself. I had time to shoot undisturbed and completely enjoyed the experience.

Mariposa Grove This is an image of a couple of giant redwood trees captured in Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park. The main focus of the image is a large redwood tree left center in the image. The bark of the tree looks very thick and the tree is extremely tall. If you look at the lower left corner of the image you can see a split rail fence that helps give you an idea of just how large these trees truly are. To the right of the main subject is another redwood, slightly smaller than the main subject. Between the two is yet a younger, smaller tree. The forest floor is covered in redwood needles and small branches. The background shows a smaller forest of trees.

Dogwood Dream

In Yosemite Valley you can explore nature from the micro level to the macro-grand level.
In the springtime the dogwoods along the Merced River bloom in large white flowers and the river serves a wonderful backdrop for these beautiful flowers.
This image was digitally converted with a painterly effect to give it a soft, colorful dreamlike look.

Dogwood Dream This beautiful dogwood flower was captured hanging over the Merced River in Yosemite Valley. The thin branch comes into the image near the top right corner seemingly coming out of nowhere. The branch bends down to the lower center part of the image due to the weight of the large flower on a thin branch. There are a few leaves on the branch as well. The background is a bokeh pattern of blue circles due to the light being pulled from the Merced River. I have processed this order to give the colors somewhat of a fluorescent glow.

Wildcat Falls In Color

Wildcat Falls is a small waterfall by Yosemite standards. This fall would be considered large in most places as it falls 630 feet.
One of my favorite features of this waterfall is the lack of crowd that surrounds many of the other falls in the valley. One can sit below the fall and take in the sounds of the fall and the nature that is all around.

Wildcat Falls In Color This beautiful waterfall is located in Yosemite Valley just a couple of miles from the western entrance on highway 140. This view will never be seen again as a large boulder landed essentially where the left corner of this image is. The falls come into view at the top left corner of the image. The water drops straight down on the right hand side. On the left side of the image the falls fan out to fill the frame. Captured with a slow shutter speed to give the water that nice silky feel. The lush green forest frames the top right of the image.

Waterfall in Black and White

Wildcat Falls is a small waterfall located off of highway 140 in Yosemite National Park. The fall is relatively unknown as the lower portion of the falls is tucked in behind some trees and because there are not any formal hiking trails leading up to it.
This view, now, is forever obstructed by a large boulder that fell from higher elevations.

Waterfall in Black and White This is a black and white image of Wildcat Falls located in beautiful Yosemite Valley off of highway 140. This image is gone forever now as a large boulder fall into the middle of the pool about 20 feet from the bottom of the waterfall. In this image the falls start in the upper right hand corner falling to the left lower center until finally coming back to the right. I used a slow shutter on this image to give the water a nice soft look as it stumbles down over the rocks.
