Serene Half Dome – Behind the Scenes

There never seems to be a bad view in Yosemite! With every scenic drive or winding path you take the views are constantly changing as the position of the trees and the reflections in the river offer new and breathtaking scenes to capture. Additionally, the momentary changes in lighting from the soft early morning light to the vivid setting sun brings the scenery to life. However, nothing really transforms the scenery as much as the dramatic and awe inspiring effect of the seasons. The seasons truly have a way of visually transforming this beautiful valley like nothing else, and it is this annual effect that I felt compelled to capture.
