Gorgeous image, Harriet! Love the lighting and color! Very well done! #1528006Harriet Feagin May 13, 2013
Thank you, Denny. I have to say that I was only able to get a few photos at Yosemite. It was the most difficult site I have ever photographed. The contrast was so stark that it was next to impossible to meter correctly. Most of my photos had blown out skies. I know I could replace the sky but what's the point? Maybe the time of year had a lot to do with it. #10693036Denny E. Barnes June 30, 2013
Glad to see this one again, Harriet! Congratulations on your finalist, Well done!PS....Sometimes what I do under those conditions is take two photos. One under exposed for the sky and one normal and then blend then together. Works pretty good most of the time. #10750123
